Master of Puppets by Metallica - love it. Screaming for Vengeance by Judas Priest - love it. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath - love it. Spreading the Disease by Anthrax - love it. Ace of Spades by Motorhead - love it. The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden - love it as well. These are just some of my favorite heavy metal albums. And they're all classics. I haven't listened to Iron Maiden in a long time now, and I recently made the decision to give The Number of the Beast another spin, followed of course, by an overdue review. I completely forgot just how brilliant this album really is. No fillers. No bullshit. The very best of Iron Maiden is at play here. This album alone will reinvigorate one's lust for life. It. Is. Sooooo goood! In fact, there is only one bad thing about this album - the pseudo-Vincent Price intro to the title track is not loud enough. That is it. And it is easily overlooked anyway. "Children of the Damned" "Hallowed be thy Name" "Run to the Hills" and the title track are the best of the best if you really need to know. "Invaders" is pretty awesome too. But then again, so is the remaining three tracks I haven't mentioned. If you haven't heard this album, I would highly recommend that you do so, irrespective of whether you usually listen to heavy metal or not. Bloody magic is all I can say. A+
