Seventh Heaven (and Hell)! Review ofSeventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maidenby
tonguelessghostofsin
Advantages: One of the best metal concept albums ever Disadvantages: Doesn't really have a proper 'ending'
...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.

no.1 album Review ofSeventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maidenby
Nirvanachick2000
Advantages: Great on the ears! Disadvantages:
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 ...

Metal Concept Album! Review ofSeventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maidenby
sjm6
Advantages: Highly polished heavy metal Disadvantages: The concept album tag might put you off
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 ...

Advantages: BEST OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL Disadvantages: YOU EITHER LOVE THEM OR HATE THEM
...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. ...

7th heaven Review ofSeventh Son Of A Seventh Son [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maidenby
zig3d
Advantages: the best iron maiden album, should be cheap to buy too Disadvantages: non
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 ...
