Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
By the release of this landmark eighth album, Iron Maiden had settled into what's generally considered their classic line-up. With Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Nicko McBrain operating at the very peak of their form, band mastermind, main songwriter and bassist Steve Harris decided to extend the Maiden remit yet further by unveiling their very first concept work. Contemporary critics scoffed in the face of such a grandiose gesture, but Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son spawned no fewer than four British hit singles and remains an indomitable highlight of the Maiden's illustrious career. From the strident commercial metal of "Can I Play With Madness", through the keyboard-enhanced epic bombast of the title track, to the fretboard intricacies and chest-beating machismo of "Only The Good Die Young", Seventh Son finds Iron Maiden at their most assured and creative. Essentially, this is a spectacular example of 22-carat heavy metal. Ian Fortnam

- Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
'Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son' is the first Iron Maiden album I ever bought (quickly followed by everything before or since!) and I have to say it is one I still love after all these years. From the racing album opener 'Moonchild' to storming tracks such as 'Evil That Men Do', 'Clairvoyant' and 'Infinite Dreams' and more besides, this album produces one amazing song after another. In fact I'd go so far to say that this is one of those rare albums where every track is worthy of inclusion and adds to the overall feel of the album. This was initially snubbed by some Maiden fans for it's use of keyboards, but is often recognised as the classic it always was now hindsight can be applied. A great first port of call for new maiden fans, but be ... Read More:

- Another masterpiece slaughtered by the "loudness war"
All Iron Maiden albums from "The Number Of The Beast" to "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" are absolute classics and timeless masterpieces. I grew up listening to these records, and I know every lyric, every pause, every guitar tone and every tempo change by heart. So, more than sad, I'm really angry to have to say that all the "enhanced" 1998 releases are complete sonic disasters, "loudness war" productions with the audio dynamic range slaughtered by whoever was responsible for doing the remastering. It seems that the idea was to turn all the way up the sound of every single instrument and vocal line with no regard to the equilibrium between them within the music's context. I almost cried in anger when I heard those guitar chords at the start ... Read More:

- Maiden's Best
I'll give the review track by track after this overview. I like this album because it was probably their most progressive of the 80's and featured a lot of great tracks.

Moonchild 8.5/10
A great opener. One of three real claims for best album opener. (The other two are 'caught somewhere in time' and 'invaders' in my opinion).

Infinite Dreams 9/10
A good track, one of Maiden's better ballads.

Can I Play With Madness 10/10
Maiden's best track.

The Evil That Men Do 9/10
A nice track. Not their best.

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 7/10
Not their best epic. But still good.

The Prophecy 9.5/10
Maidens most underrated track. I think the ... Read More:

Iron Maiden first concept album and it works brilliant. All the songs are classic. I'd put this on my top 5 Maiden albums. The artwork is awesome aswell. Onto the songs

1. Moonchild - Wicked track with a heavy riff and awesome vocals by Dickinson it's a song that'll be stuck in your head for awhile. 10/10

2. Infinite Dreams - this one took a couple of listen for me to get into but now i love it, it starts of slow for awhile then goes to an awesome solo. 9/10

3. Can I Play With Madness - awesome short song and a short solo brilliant video to. 10/10

4. The Evil That Men Do - again short awesome great solo great song. 10/10

5. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son - Awesome title track the ... Read More:

- Iron Maiden 7
According to the information on the CD this is considered by certain members of the band to be their best album ever. It certainly has some good tracks on it, but what lured me into buying it before some others is the fact that it is a concept album. All the tracks revolve around a seventh son of a seventh son; quite appropriate considering this is their seventh album.
There really isn't a dull track on this CD and most of them really stand out on first listening and need no time to appreciate. The opening words of "Can I Play With Madness", the hummable melody of "The Evil The Men Do", the chorus of the titular track and the morbid truth stated in "The Clairvoyant"; all of these and more will be stuck in my head after listening to the ...
