Iron Maiden-Killers
- Thread starter Astrum
- Start date
It's tough to reflect upon this properly, as for me (being as I received Killers from my Mom as an x-mas present when I was in Junior High...and I'm nearly forty) there is an undeniable nostalgia-factor to classic Maiden, that transcends just how "good" the material may/may not sometimes have been. That notwithstanding, Killers is for me, perhaps the ultimate Maiden album...particularly for those of us who really enjoy D'ianno era Maiden.(though NOTB is equally brilliant in many ways...just different).
I believe Clive Burr's playing on Killers is one of the finest metal drumming performances recorded...particularly in the (largely) pre-double-bass world. A phenomenal album overall.

C'mon man put some effort into the review. Let us know how the album sounds. All I got out of it is that the album is fast (relative) and good (subjective). How are the instruments and techniques used? What emotions does it ilicit (if any)? How does it compare to their other releases? How does it stand against the history of music as a whole? If you're not considering these questions you're not listening very hard, and therefore are not fit to review music.
i didnt have much time on this one, i plan on writing a few realreviews within the next few days. my other maiden review is slightly better, but similar.

That's not even a review. But I think this is joint best Maiden album ever, along with Powerslave and perhaps 7th Son. Killers is just perfect from start to finish.
"The Ides of March" is a perfect, perfect opener, short, sweet and right to the fucking point, segues nicely into the timeless "Wrathchild", with it's cracking riff and, again, short, sweet and to the point.
But the album has more progressive moments as well and some of the best use of harmonics in a song ever on the title track.
The cover's fucking incredible too, miles better than the shit they do nowadays.
I'd do a proper review, but I don't have the CD to hand and it's not on my hard disk so I dont want to comment too much on it.
