either this album or Number of the Beast is the best Maiden cd. definatly blows their debut out of the water, and shows what Maiden could have been if Paul would have continued to sing instead of Bruce. while Bruce did an amazing job of making Maiden one of the best, i think Paul's voice is a bit better. Bruce you still rule though! Paul gave them that punk badass edge that they probally wouldnt of had if Bruce was the main vocalist in the beginning, or the badass image would have been less if they had it without Paul. Again, nothing against Bruce Dickinson. so if your not already a Maiden fan, Id say start with the first 4 albums...Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast, and Piece of Mind.
