NP: Iron Maiden - "Rainmaker"
thought this album was crap at first listen...then I spun it a few more times. holy shit, it's fucking brilliant. I know all "true" metalheads must fucking hate this thing...but they're all fuckwads who wish that Paul Di'anno's 400 lb ass would come back. Metallica attempted a different style and turned up a St. Angry piece of crap. Maiden attempted a different style and succeeded gloriously.
Dance of Death is fantastic and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Hard. With as many jagged, rusty surgical implements as space will allow.
