92.55 This and Number of the Beast are always in a tussle for being my favorite Maiden album. Both top class.

91.25 'Creeping Death' being one of the greatest ever metal songs. They were just so fantastic back in their youth and prime.

84.00 This is Priest's album on speed. The average pace on all these songs leave most earlier work in the dust. Fast, furious, brilliant the whole way through. One of there heavier albums. This is metal. I rate this up there as one of there best.

80.222* Good mix of guitar driven and synth driven tracks, even though I way prefer the guitar tracks. 'Hot for Teacher' being one of the best songs they put out. 12/25

78.12 First Manowar album I got so a tad biased towards it. But it is fucking good. Even recently on listening to it I realized it's actually way better than I'd given it credit for. Stereotypical metal.....but hey, what's wrong with that. 06/24

I'm not rating this as a compilation due to it having 4 new tracks plus a couple done with Girlschool.

7th album from them . No real hits or better known tracks on it but it has a good solid sound throughout. There's no pretentiousness about them. I've said it before. A very underrated band 08/24

77.77 My introduction into EATBM was a greatest hits album. Liked what I heard so this is the first studio album I've ventured into. There's a couple of top class tracks on this (we all know what one's they are), that are the definite cornerstone of this album. Without these this album would fall into a very banal category as most other tracks are either average or just above. Not sure if I'll explore any more of their studio works. I think I may have enough.

75.333* When this came out, I'd just began my working life and worked with a group of Tongans who thrashed this. Hence it was all very familiar listening when I got it. Good ol' Prince. Some great tracks on this 11/25
