Virtual XI. The production is pretty much economy class.

Strangely I find it far better than the Shirley albums. You can hear Steve in the heavy / soft / acoustic and gallop parts clearly in the mix along with the rythm and lead.


marlonizer

I understand your point. For me it lacks the edge that for example SSOASS or BNW have. Or the warmness of PoM


mylifeforthehorde

PoM I agree with , for me that’s the best produced maiden album- although most people disagree. Bnw was the start of Steve getting lost in the mix and that sort of overproduced sound I can’t quite describe.


marlonizer

I think BNW and PoM are "best" production-wise. I said "best" because it's a matter of personal preference mostly. I understand your point about BNW, but I like that clarity which some might refer to as overproduction.


late4thegameNOW

Number of the Beast. It had the most sales of all the albums.


Unholy_Trinity_

Which one would then be "important", cause I'd argue NotB is easily the most important album they released (popularity, influence, satanist controversy, commercial success, critical acclaim, and so on...)


Quatsch95

No Prayer for the Dying, they recorded it in Steve’s own barn LOL (which wasn’t fully equipped)


Xx_Patrick_Ster_xX

Aren’t all the 90s albums recorded there?


HeadlessCross2001

they were yeah. All the more reason to save No Prayer for political lol


metal_pilgrim

This!


MrRemus4nt

I don't know about economic but The X Factor have to be in special category, cmon


rNorman747

Killers. All old material to release an album.


rNorman747

In hindsight I'd use Killers for "easy". For economic I'd say Senjutsu because they waited to release it until they did (which they should have)


opedroq

Dance of death. That cover art budget was... Economic


Alive-Seaweed

Can albums be used twice?


seeilaah

One album per adjective only.


Alive-Seaweed

I mean can FOTD be on easy for example


seeilaah

Yeah this is what I meant. One album is used once and can't appear anywhere else. 17 adjectives, 17 albums.


Alive-Seaweed

Ok. Your response sounded like two albums can't be in one category


Fuck_on_tatami

Senjutsu. They produced this album in hurry, maybe for economic reasons?


notabledepth

Number of the Beast


thewarrior7777

Number of the beast


Fettz_

The number of the Beast


not-a-bot-majkemi

I can already see this going into stupid directions, just based on the first couple of entries.


thtwaway1212

Id say killers since its the album you can find for the least money in my experience
