This is it: THE BEST YOU CAN GET FROM IRON MAIDEN! A symbol of british heavy metal. A must-have. *****

Ya know, I have a real hard time getting into this one. I like some songs, like the first two, but something seems to be lacking here. Bruce continues to pretend he's Pavarotti singing inthe opera or something (STOP YODELING!!!), and 13:45 is WAY too fuckin' long for any one song. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" could probably be a tremendous song if they'd have cut about six minutes out of it, but there's just too much of it to sound like a oohesive song. I'm gonna have to give this one just a 7.

fizzy you are a fucken idiot i have a problem with your comments on maiden they are all great albums and bruce is one of the best metal singers ever fuck off and listen to the spin doctors

In my opinion, this is the best Iron Maiden album ever! Packed with great songs like (in my opinion), Powerslave, Aces High, 2 Minutes to Midnight, The Duellist, and the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. This is certainly some heavy shit! Kudos to Dickenson/Smith and Harris for making great songs, and to Murray for those awesome solos. ...Tell me why I have to be a Powerslave...

Although Iron Maiden is a real heavy metal band and they deserve that title much more than all those stupid bands like Slayer and Metallica. They are more hardrock than metal and they belong more in heavy harmonies and not in brutal metal. What has Iron Maiden got in common with rubbish like Pantera and Cradle of Filth NOTHING. They belong with bands like AC/DC,Rainbow,Accept and Scorpions and with those depressing bands

el segundo mejor disco de Iron Maiden despues de The Number of the Beast. Es cojonudo.

I own almost entire collection of Iron Maiden CDs and in my opinion this is best album they have ever made. The sound is more mature (more heavier) than their previous "Number of The Beast" and Dickinson's vocals are incredible. All songs on this CD are good, you won't find any bad one ("Rime of The Ancient Mariner", "Losfer Words" and "Powerslave" are my favorites). If you want a good example of what Heavy Metal is, go and buy this one. (This one was released in 1984, not 1985 like page says)

UP THE IRONS!

some good songs here, very heavy album ( sometimes bordering on Thrash ) but not near as good as Piece of Mind, however, still above average.

Just Amazing

From: Blaine	Date: March 31, 2004 at 2:51
Bought this one recently and I do agree with some of you. This is a great CD. I think it was their best. Love the art work both front and back and the booklet is quite nice.

Excelent, Maiden heaviest album, a classic!!! 9.5/10

From: Tocallo	Date: April 6, 2004 at 18:30
Si me preguntaran CUALES SON LOS 10 MEJORES MUSICOS DE HEAVY METAL? (cantantes,guitarristas,bateristas y bajistas )sin duda responderia. Dave Murray guitarrista Adrian Smith guitarrista Steve Harris bajista Nicko McBrain baterista. Bruce Dickinson cantante IMPRESIONANTE !!

From: Shannon	Date: June 19, 2004 at 20:24
*MASTER'PIECE' ----> A+ Every song is excellent, except "Back In The Village" and even it's good! The b-sides are my favorites (along with the Piece Of Mind b-sides). Mission From 'Arry still makes me LOL to this day!! Good stuff. Awesome album cover by Derek Riggs too!

From: Big Papa K	Date: July 1, 2004 at 17:41
Is there a better one-two punch to open an album than "Aces High" and "Two Minutes To Midnight"? Unfortunately the rest of the album can't match up to these tunes, but it is still excellent. I am not a big fan on the closing song though. 8/10

From: Azrabain	Date: August 11, 2004 at 21:50
Without question my all time favorite album in the world. The duellists is the best song in my opinion, but the rest are out of this world.

Iron Maiden's all-time greatest moment. This is top metal. id put this, Megadeth's 'Rust in Piece', Metallica's 'And Jsutice for All' and Judas Priest's 'Painkiller' in the best metal albums of all-time ctagory! Most of you would of heard the 1st 2 tracks, but other standouts are 'Back in the Village', 'Flash of the Blade' and 'Losfer Words'. The epic 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' is a hands down classic!! You need to buy this CD NOW AND FAST!!! 10/10

From: Metalhead66	Date: October 28, 2004 at 13:53
This is for all the Rivetheads iron dogs and Metal lovers...This is a great one, but it isn't as good as Number of the Beast...But that doesn't mean it's bad at all.. In fact I love the First 5 Maiden albums...True Metal,Great musicianship,Great Songs.....9/10

From: pie75	Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:25
maiden certainly had a golden run through this period better then peice of mind and man how about aces high,2 minutes to midnight,flash of the blade,powerslave and the epic rime of the ancient mariner awsome stuff

Powerslave is the last studio album from Maiden's early heyday. Very good production for '84, none of that reverby drum sound so prevalent at the time. "Aces High," "2 Minutes To Midnight" and the title track all deserve their status as Maiden (and metal) classics, and "Flash Of The Blade" is an overlooked treat ... but ... well, "Losfer Words" is an instrumental that sounds like half a song, "The Duellists" sounds like the other half, and I couldn't tell you how "Back In The Village" goes if you asked me. And the there's Maiden's crowning, self-serious achievement, "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner," snuck into countless high-school and college English classes as having literary value. In almost fourteen minutes of retelling Coleridge's poem, Maiden fail to stumble on a single hook or vocal melody, Bruce rambling along for most of it, except the "mariner wished he'd die" part. It's tough to see that song as anything but mental masturbation.

I've seen IM live twice in my life...on this "Powerslave" Tour(i was 15 years old at the time)& on the "Fear Of The Dark" Tour(for me the best and probably last Maiden ever!)...this album has 3 major songs in the shape of "Aces High","2 Minutes to Midnight" & "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" and my fave ones and add "Powerslave" to the "soundtrack" and you will be just fine...87/100
