About this album
Powerslave is the fifth studio album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on September 3, 1984 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US (it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002). It is notable for its Egyptian theme displayed in the album art, as well in the title track’s musical style.
It contains a musical re-telling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, which uses pieces of the original poem as lyrics, and is the longest song Iron Maiden have ever recorded at a length of 13 minutes and 38 seconds. The album is also notable amongst the band’s albums as being the first album to feature the same lineup as the previous one.
“2 Minutes to Midnight” and “Aces High” were released as singles, the former being a staple in nearly all of the band’s concert tours.
World Slavery Tour was the tour supporting the album.

Probably their best album. I first heard Maiden when I was like 7 years old or something. And yesterday I listened to this album for the first time in years (I'm 21 now), and it's still great! Although I have to agree with IronPenguin that it is indeed a bit inconsistent, but the tracks he mentioned pretty much overshadows that fact!

@IronPenguin I totally disagree with you. Each track on this album is great and together they form (for me) the best Maiden's album

I know it's a bit of a cliche to say so, but to me there are 4 absolute classics here (Aces, Midnight, Powerslave and Mariner) and 4 good-but-not-classic tracks that make the album feel a bit inconsistent for me.
