Up the Irons!     Customer Reviews for Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Cd      Pure Brilliance      Rating:      We all know the 'Golden' era of Maiden music. [1982-1988] The Number of the Beast Piece of Mind Powerslave Somewhere in Time Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Honestly, it's hard for me to a pick a favorite, but if you put a gun to my head, I'd say --- Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Its a concept album and the story is easy to follow. A prophet tries to warn a village of an imminent attack. Unlike other concept albums, you don't have to follow the story to enjoy the music. Dickinson has perfected his vocal skills, which is evident on such tracks as 'Infinite Dreams' and 'The Prophecy'. In fact, the vocals on SSOASS ranks as one of the best I've ever heard in the metal genre. Every track is strong, with virtually no filler. As always, the guitar, bass, and drums are first rate. Nicko Mcbrain's drumming skills are severely underrated. Its not as fast or heavy as other Maiden discs, but in no way feels weak. The synthesizers are very apparent, but doesn't overwhelm the album like 'Somewhere In Time'. I would rate 'Infinite Dreams' and 'The Evil That Men Do' as my favorites. Even though 'Can I Play With Madness' is a good tune, it really feels out-of-place. [Its a pop song on a progressive metal album.] Instead of wasting my time rating every song, realize I can play this disc everyday and never get bored. Its easily one of my favorite albums of any genre. Highly recommended.
