Released by the Kings of British Heavy metal, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is an amazing album. A fantastic album filled with amazing beats by Nicko McBrain and some excellent guitaring as well. This is considered one of the best albums not only by Iron Maiden, but in the 1980's as well. My favorite track on this album is Infinite Dreams. A melodious song that captures my attention, even though all the songs on this album are quite amazing. The album starts off with Moonchild, which is a great track as well, and ends off with Only The Good Die Young, another hell of a song. This is quite good when compared with some of the older Iron Maiden that I heard previously heard. Anyway, bottom line is that this is a great album. Go buy it! Check out www.ironmaiden.com for 1 minute clips of each of the tracks.

Recommended Tracks : All, except for perhaps Can I play with Madness (got sick of this pretty quickly)
