"The Number Of The Beast" is considered the best Iron Maiden album. The most substantial and evident difference with the first two albums is the absence of the charismatic but drug-addicted and alcoholic Paul DiAnno and the until-then semi-unknown Samson singer, Bruce Dickinson, who makes you forget the former vocalist with a memorable performance in every song on the album.
The album, which is the 3rd for Iron Maiden, contains masterpieces that will be featured in live shows and future greatest hits, such as "Run To The Hills", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", the underrated "Children Of The Damned" and "22 Acacia Avenue" (continuation of the Charlot saga), and the title track "The Number Of The Beast". The CD also includes "The Prisoner", which is a tribute to a famous TV show of the time, "Invaders", "Gangland", and the bonus track "Total Eclipse".
If you have never listened to this album, do it now! It is undoubtedly a milestone in Iron Maiden's career and heavy metal in general. Rating: 9.5
