What album are you listening to? v.7

[TAC]

I’m listening to this now. It was my first Maiden album and I think it might be my favorite. Probably that “first love” feeling I have with a lot of albums.
I always forget how great Stranger In a Strange Land is. So underrated.

When this came out, I thought it sounded so fresh and even considered it the best album at the time. That said, it hasn't aged great for me. The title track remains a Top 5 Maiden track for me though.

A 21 minute EP of some very easy one the ears not quite commercial hard rock.

I'm a casual Maiden fan but my go to tune would probably be Stranger In a Strange Land

Adrian's solo on this song is absolute world class.  He matches it with the best of them here.

Inspired by the current listening habits thread.

This weekend I've been digging into the early days of the Iron Maiden discography: Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind. Plus the Early Days DVD. None of these are among my favorite Maiden records, but Piece of Mind sure as hell sounded great after a while. Particularly Still Life, Sun and Steel, and To Tame a Land have grown on me. The Dortmund tracks from that DVD were also cool, very nice to see a Flight of Icarus live version from '83.

Those Hammersmith ‘82 and Dortmund ‘83 shows are awesome!

Now listening to…

Checked out this album today...



....and one song turned into another and before I knew it, I took in the whole thing!

40 minutes of nice crunchy heavy metal. Vocals are a mix of 80's style metal/hardcore/growlie.

I’ve listened to it before, but that was my first "serious" listen. Really dug it.

It's my favorite AC/DC album. Dog Eat Dog is a bit iffy, but other than that, it is top shelf.

Yeah, it has a roughness to it that's very cool. When I think about my favorite AC/DC record, though, it's typically between Powerage and Highway to Hell...

To me, LTBR just wat more powerful and heavy. Powerage and Highway To Hell are both great, but neither are nearly as heavy as LTBR.

The only other AC/DC album I’ve listened to seriously is Back in Black and I think I liked this more. I really liked every song, including Dog Eat Dog.

Back In Black is tremendous, obviously. The whole run from Powerage through For Those About To Rock is outstanding.

I’m planning on picking up Powerage and Highway to Hell next time I go to the music store.

Can't go wrong there!

Agreed. I'm not even a hardcore AC/DC fan, but these albums are just fantastic. And while you are at it, get the "If You Want Blood You've Got It" live album. The energy in those live versions is something else.

[wolfking]

Im planning on never picking up an AC/DC album in my life.  I'm stoked about it personally.

I'd agree with that.   I REALLY like High Voltage too, though Let There Be Rock is a shade of a step back (though it does have Problem Child, one of my favorite AC/DC tunes ever).
