Agree with Urban about Invaders, I like the song but its real B-side material and shouldn't have been the album starter. There are a number of songs on there such as Gangland which I'm certain were written with for Paul Di'Anno, in general the Steve Harris compositions that he wrote on his own are what makes the album great. Tracks like Children of the Damned, Run to the Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name are some of the greatest metal songs ever written. The album without any doubt set a high-water mark for metal in the early 1980s.
The album draws parallels with Judas Priest's British Steel, as both Maiden and Priest fans are bonkers are the couple of albums that followed these, rather than the two albums that made those albums possible.
