Album of the Week - Maiden 1980

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden (click for review)

Released in 1980 this album did for Heavy Metal what Nevermind did for Grunge, it would easily find a place in my top 100. Their debut album, it sounds rather different from the Maiden everybody knows (and loves?), with no Bruce Dickinson it has a more raw, less theatrical appeal… go on, give it a try.
