I was about to say the same thing. I really can't decide which album cover is the worst.

112. Iron Maiden - Brave New World - (2000)

The triumphant return of Bruce Dickinson heralded the end of two awful albums, banished the memory of Blaze Bayley to the dark mists of history and returned Maiden to the band they were always meant to be. From the first few chords you get a feeling that this is the real Iron Maiden, and they've not looked back since. If you lost your love for Maiden over the course of The X-Factor and Virtual XI, this is the one to restore it for you and get rid of that nasty taste in your mouth.

First album has been reviewed in my new journal here
Powerslave - Iron Maiden

Batty has advocated the idea of allowing members to suggest albums I should review in the journal out of order; ones that are seen perhaps as more important than maybe the next one in line? If anyone wants to do that, post here or in my journal but I'm going to restrict this to one album per member per time, in other words if you have three albums you'd like to me to review off the list, then you can suggest one now, another when someone else has had their say, and so on. Probably nobody will bother so it won't matter, but it's a good idea of Batty's so I'm just putting it out there.

Can you just (and can anyone in future) remind me what number that is on the list? Thanks.

I had considered that, but I was on mobile at the time and was too lazy to look it up. It's #76. Here's the original review: http://www.musicbanter.com/rock-meta...ml#post1547473

OK, done. It'll be next up. Not sure when, as I'm doing very intensive reviews on these albums, but I'll put it next in line.

I think we should post recs in his journal (assuming he doesn't mind), otherwise this thread is just going to get cluttered with off-topic stuff.

Yeah, probably makes sense.
