Don`t bother with the Blaze Bailey albums they`re even poorer than the Ripper Owens albums with Judas Priest.

A Matter of Life and Death was probably their best album since their heydays of the 1980s and a return to form.

Brave New World was a return to form for me. Dance of Death, while being somewhat disjointed, was a strong record too. I thought A Matter of Life and Death and Finmal Frontier were poorer records actually, although I do still enjoy them.

It seems like all of the Bruce Dickenson albums since his return have their fans, I can`t speak for Final Frontier as this is the only maiden album I haven`t yet heard.

Dance of Death is a total pile of crap. Everytime I put it on, I can't wait for it to end.

Believe me there is nothing great hidden inside that album, its just a very mediocre metal album and nothing more.

Agreed. It is certainly my favourite since Bruce rejoined the band although there are better individual tracks on Brave New World. Still really dislike the production on recent albums though. For a band with 3 guitars they really should sound more chunky.
