THE REVIEW

A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This album by the legendary Irons, released way back in 1982, is a milestone in the history of metal in general.

It starts with "Invaders", a breathless song, followed by the melodic "Children of the Damned", making way for "The Prisoner", which shows us how the music of the Eighties can leave no one indifferent.
We continue with "22 Acacia Avenue", a historical piece from the band, about a charming harlot friend of the band... from now on the CD gives its best with the iconic "THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST" and "RUN TO THE HILLS", moving on to the quite forgettable "Gangland" and the legendary "Hallowed Be Thy Name".

A magnificent album that has certainly marked the metal!!!!!!!

 And one day Heavy Metal was born!

 Hallowed Be Thy Name... one of the best pieces of classic Heavy ever conceived by a human mind.


By fabbro

 The Number Of The Beast is probably the best album of the British metal quintet, and certainly the most famous.

 'Hallowed by Thy Name' is the masterpiece of the album, one of the most engaging metal tracks of all time.


By korn

 Iron Maiden are great, everyone knows that by now; they are legends.

 Iron Maiden are a war machine; at 20 years old, they remain great and have never sold out.


By TheCraziness

 ‘Invaders’ is a horrendous, absolutely unlistenable, and senseless song.

 ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ is one of the best tracks ever composed by Iron Maiden in their entire career.


By carlino

 "When it is claimed to be the best Maiden album of all time, well, damn, it’s truly laughable."

 "‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ is the masterpiece of the EP, and perhaps one of the ten METAL songs of all time."
