I still remember my entire day when this masterpiece was released. The bus journey into Belfast to buy it, the journey back home staring at and absorbing the artwork of the vinyl cover and finally plugging in my headphones and dropping the needle onto the record to listen in absolute awe to every track. It is hard to believe it was 35 years ago. With the exception of my parents nothing else has had such continuity in my life as Iron Maiden. I will be a fan until my final breath.

This is metal and music in its greatest form. Thank you G-d for creating Iron Maiden and thank you Steve for having the willpower and vision to keep the band going, to evolve and bring together the elements which catapult this album beyond all others.

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is and forever will be the benchmark classic British heavy metal album, because it is impossible to imagine what a better album would sound like. Most likely, the better album simply does not exist. But then again, do we really need anything more, with heavy metal having reached its absolute peak, giving us something as beautiful and awe-inspiring as Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, an album that never ages and always surprises us with new discoveries with each listen? In my opinion, "Only the Good Die Young" may be the greatest and classiest classic heavy metal song ever written. What a way to close not just a perfect album, but the most perfect of all heavy metal albums. Credit also goes to the late Martin Birch, without whom this album would not have been what it is, and to Derek Riggs, without whom we would not have the otherworldly artwork that perfectly conveys the expansive and ethereal mood and feel of the album.

I think we've all been waiting for/or already have told Maiden doubters that since the 80s. Got this one the day it came out and blasted it in the 79 Malibu (yea, really "cool" car) on the way home. My brother and I had seen the video on Headbangers Ball many times already and were ready for the change in sound. (Yay Graham Chapman by the way!) This was also the first tour I got to see Maiden. Something always came up every tour previous, but not this time. Second row center at The Fox in Atlanta Georgia. Two nights because Maiden got snowed in somewhere so we only got Ace Frehley the first night. Back the second night and I was definitely an emotional mess when the beginning of Moonchild started, exploded, and my heroes were RIGHT THERE in person. Yeah, I love this album still. Watching Maiden England still gives me goosebumps.

I remember when the 'We are the World' single came on MTV. I was in the living room and just happen to walk by the tv set when one family friend was really into the song. I said, "who's all in this?" She retorted back, "Everybody that's somebody." And she then said, "That means, no Iron Maiden." I get the last laugh. "They" are now all dead. And those that aren't have no career because they can't adjust to the current times musically. Their '80's style of pop music is obsolete and no one will pay for it. And they can't tour because of their chronic drug use . Iron Maiden, on the other hand, is setting out on another world tour. And they would be able to do what they do if they used drugs.

Ciao Nico. Where to begin... yes, from a thank you! Again, phenomenal video about a phenomenal album. Yes, I might be a bit biased (I was born in 1988), but SSOASS to me really stands out as a benchmark. I agree with everything you say; then again, some things are undeniable: the songwriting is very mature on this album, and their craft is first class. I believe it was in one of your videos that you said that the last minute of the title-track is one of the most beautiful minutes in music. Can't agree more. As for the video, it's incredible how a 30-minute video goes by so quickly and it makes you want for more! This is truly a gift, and it shows how good you are at explaining and keeping the viewer entertained. Even if it's something I've been knowing for a while, to hear such things explained from you is refreshing. Davvero eccezionale. P.S. I'm looking forward to the video about The Prophecy.

I would also add that the delicate middle harmony in "The Prophecy" also has a baroque feel to it, but it is very subtle, done so beautifully that it is not too "in your face" or obvious. In other words, it doesn't sound like Yngwie, which would be obvious, but not as delicate and timeless as Dave's composition.

I kind of got this record as a christmas present from my grandma when I was 16 years old back in 2003. Grandma gave me some money and told me to pick out a christmas present for my self. And gave me clear instructions to use it on something fun. I have always liked this record very much. Back then I ranked it as their third best, but now I think it might be their best one. I remember that a lot of people my age thought that I listened to incredibly old and outdated music back then. And they got even more confused when they found out that this was one of the more recent records in my collection. Back then 1988 was 15 years ago. And now 2003 is 20 years ago. It is probably best to not think too much about that.

My favorites albums from old Maiden era are Piece of mind and Powerslave, but, definitly this is the best Maiden album from that days, a master piece. Thanx for this video

Good analysis of the record. I find myself torn for the greatest of their catalogue. I have always said it is this one but Somewhere in Time is just so great. A tough call. No bad tracks on either album. Up the Irons!
