Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maiden

...that as this was Maiden's seventh studio album, maybe they should play on that. Harris was a big fan of some 70's prog-rock bands, who's liking for 'concept' albums was well-documented and proved. After 'Somewhere in Time' and the corresponding 'Somewhere on Tour', Harris was said to have indulged in much mythology and legend, reading about the 'seventh son born of a seventh son' who would be blessed with the gift of second sight, i.e. clairvoyancy. ...
...to the continuing story; "The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me". It is the 'seventh son' experiencing the evil side of the men he wants to trust. A mighty epic indeed. 5. 'Seventh son of a Seventh son' (Written by Harris) The centrepiece of the album, it tells the tale of the 'seventh son''s journey so far, from the perspective of the narrator, rather than the 'seventh son' himself. Multi-layered, with haunting keyboards organs ...

Review of Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maiden

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is in my opinion the best Iron Maiden album out there. It only has eight trachs but each and every one is unique and excellant. My favourite songs on the album have to be 'Can I Play With Maddness', 'The Evil that Men Do' and 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son'. The guitar playing is amazing throughout the whole album! I recommend this album to any dedicated Iron Maiden fans or to anyone who is only hearing them for the first ...

Review of Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maiden

This is the album where Steve Harris' love of some of the progressive and concept bands of the sevties comes to the fore, because Iron Maiden recorded a concept album. Surprisingly though that wasn't such a bad thing. This album is good, very good in fact. The theme running through the album doesn't detract at all from the music and this contains some very fine songs with Infinite Dreams and The Clairvoyant being the best. The songwriting on this ...

...Madness Evil That Men Do Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son The Prophecy The Clairvoyant Only The Good Die Young (3 video's as listed above) The long haired British heavy metalist's, bring us another great maserpiece. Seventh Son has a fantastic lyrical content like poetry. Based on the Eggiption era with Prophecys and downward slopes, like on the pyramids. As always Bruce Dickinson makes it sound realy easy to sing along to, but some of the tracks ...
...strenth to strength with the lyrical content in the Maiden albums and they just keep getting better. As always great riffs and solo's from the guitarists and that mad drummer Nicko really pulls out the stops and provides excellent drum riffs and solo's. With the extra video's this is deffinatly the must have for the Iron Maiden fans. Original Album cd would set you back a mear £5.99 This around the £10-£14.99 mark but well worth it. ...

Maidens best album no doubt at all. Only 8 songs on the album but, every one is a complete classic. Strangely I would have thought 7 songs would have been appropriate but I am not complaing for the extra track. The artwork by Riggs is top notch again. This entire album is almost always played at concerts so that should tell you a lot about it. Can I play with madness is a brilliant song, the evil that men do is a very thought provoking track ...

Review of Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maiden

Having already got all of there albums, I am a fan, but 7th Son will always be my favourite. It has 2 totally classic songs on it, being Can I Play With Madness, and the Clairvoyant. But from start to fi nish, this album is a work of art. Though only 8 track, each is Some of Maidens top work, they are catchy classics. If you are a fan of mainstream metal, of hard rock, there is a good chance you will love this. Bruce's vocals are tremendous as ...
