I would have preferred for Run Silent to make finals, but I'm just pleased it made it as far as it did. I think Mother Russia is the correct album champion, so I hope that some people will now finally join me in voting for

No Prayer for the Dying

[425]

I'll probably get Fear of the Dark running tomorrow night since this is the final round for No Prayer, and then The X Factor will begin in 48 hours. Relisten accordingly.

Mother Russia.

The title track is one of Maiden's most underrated, brilliant song.

Mother Russia

It's barely even average in my opinion. The title track, on the other hand, is kind of good.

Mother Russia.

The title track is one of Maiden's most underrated, brilliant song.

The title track is really the only song on this album that holds its own against the rest of IM's catalogue.

[MirrorMask]

Another vote against Mother Russia to seal the title track's victory.

The moment when the fast part ends and the initial melody comes in while Bruce is stil singing is golden.

The title track is really the only song on this album that holds its own against the rest of IM's catalogue.

But Run Silent Run Deep.

But Run Silent Run Deep.

I really like that song too, would be my #2, but its a notch below the title track and honestly is still probably in the bottom half of my rankings of all IM songs (ideally, never actually made such a list).

[425]

I'm working on the process to at least get to a top 50 as we go through these, and right now I have my top three on this album (same as the survivor top three) in the top half of the rankings and everything else in the bottom half. That may not hold up depending on the way the numbers work with future albums, but that's what I have written down right now.
