I just went off Maiden after that album, like they lost the 'greatness' that got them to the top of the pile.

I agree with you after "Seventh Son", they got off track with some of what made them so unique. I do like some of new tracks off their latest "A Matter of Life and Death" Album. Some of that "Greatness" shines on that album.
Hopefully they go in that direction again........
