Iron Maiden Album: “Killers”

Killers is now my favorite Maiden album. Before I purchased it, I just bought Bruce on vocals. I was skeptical, because alot of Maiden fans don't like Paul Di'anno. I bought it anyway, just to see what he sounded like. And I have to say he has one the greatest heavy metal voices of all time. This album also introduces Adrian Smith on guitar after Dennis Stratton left. There is absolutely no filler I loved every song. If you are a fan of Iron Maiden or just like good old 80's Heavy Metal than this should be an immediate purchase. If your new to Maiden you may want to listen Bruce Dickinson first, to get used to thier sound. Then get this killer album.

This has the best line of metal ever. The song Killers, has that wonderful "night" line, so it's my favorite song now. Not only does it have night, but it has hatred. What more could you want? Ides of March, even though it's an instrumental, has that night feel. NIGHT! There are 3, not one, not two, but 3 songs with night. Murders In The Rue Morgue, Killers, AND Twilight Zone. Such a great album. Give me night over day any night. NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHT!

Hey folks, I've got every Maiden album, and this is definitely the best (and that's saying a lot). As a matter of fact, this is really one of the best rock albums ever made- you just never get tired of it. It's got a different sound from the other Maiden albums, I must warn you. But give it a couple of listens and you'll be hooked in no time. I also like the fact that nearly the entire album is written by Steve Harris. If Harris was Picasso, Killers would be "Guernica"!

I know I'm gonna get killed for this, but Bruce Dickinson was never my favorite Maiden vocalist. I liked Blaze Bayley better, but my favorite is and was Paul Dianno. His voice has that raw edge that fits perfectly with Maiden's first albums, where the music had a raw, almost punk-like edge to it.

This album is great, the only bad thing is that Paul DiAnno sings way to fast on some songs, you can hardly hear what he is singing on the verses on "Murders in the Rue Morgue", but he sings much better on "Killers" and "Purgatory". Killers include two instrumental songs and both are great. The songs on Killers are: 1.The ides of march: A catchy but short instrumental track. It is a great song, but it isn't as good as "Genghis Khan". 2.Wrathchild:One of the best songs of the album. 3.Murders in the Rue Morgue:Starts slowly but breaks into a very fast guitar riff and a great chorus. My only complaint is that DiAnno sings way to fast in the verses.Not as great as the title track but almost. 4.Another Life:Musically it is great but the lyrics is too repetive. 5.Genghis Khan:A longer and a more complex version of "The ides of march". 6.Innocent Excile:A song about a innocent man that has been accused for killing a woman. It isn't one of the best songs but it is good. 7.Killers:One of Maidens greatest song ever. 8.Prodigal son: The slowest and longest song of the album. DiAnno sounds great on this song. The third best song of the album. 9.Purgatory: It is the fastest song of the album. 10.Twilight zone:It is about a dead man that is captured in the Twilight Zone and is tempted to bring his wife over to him. It has a sad feeling. 11.Drifter:Compared to the other songs of the album this has a very happy mood. The slow part of the song is great.

Well if you like Iron Maiden this is a must have.
