I really like Operation Mindcrime, but Somewhere In Time is my fave Bruce-era-Maiden album.

Up the Irons. :madra:

I don't have a login at TQF but now we're talking my second favorite band, so Mindcrime.

 

I can't name the track from Somewhere in Time, Can I Play With Madness?

No, that one was from Seventh Son. The 'single' (bizarre as that sounds, considering it's Iron Maiden) from Somewhere in Time was Wasted Years.

 

 

I do love Mindcrime, but I choose the Maiden album over it in this one.

Somewhere in Time is one of the few Maiden albums I'm actually familiar with. I really like that one.

 

Not many albums (except classic Rush, etc.) are going to beat Mindcrime for me though.

I bought Operation Mindcrime when it came out.

 

It never really impressed me, although I really liked a few songs, I remembers finding it a bit overwrought.

 

Somewhere ranks below Powerslave, Piece of Mind, and Seventh Son for me, but right now it's no contest.

 

Maiden for the win.

 

HOWEVER...

 

I haven't listened to Mindcrime in more than 25 years, and my tastes just keep getting broader.

 

So I'm going to relisten and see if I just 'didn't get it.'

 

 

EDIT:

 

I'm wrong and have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

It was Empire that I bought and that failed to impress. Because of that I never got around to listening to Operation.

 

Nevertheless I'm listening now and. As soon as he started singing my vote remains the same- his singing style bugs me.

 

The music is very good, though. Better than I remember on Empire, but in fairness I already established that I can't rely on my memory at all. :)

 

I do think I would have bought this and liked it, though. Although I'm still only on the first track....
