I gotta disagree. Stranger in a Strange Land and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son came out in the mid-late eighties and they are my favorite albums by them. Fantastic stuff, epic even. The stories are great, the music is awesome and hard-driving. Yeah, yeah, I know, flame away because of all the synthesizer stuff. But, at least on a Maiden album, the synth is rockin'.
Iron Maiden?!? EXCELLENT!
I enjoy a few tracks on stranger.. quite a bit. I liked 7th son when it was a new release, but find I don’t listen to it or anything after stranger hardly ever now. If I do, it is Dance of the Dead.
