Killers

The main reason I picked this up when I did was to honor the memory of the band's first lead vocalist, Paul Di'Anno, who passed in 2024. At the time of writing this Iron Maiden seems to be going through a lot of upheaval and I guess that's to be appreciated for several reasons.It's amazing to listen to something that the band recorded in their early days by comparison to how they sound now. In addition to featuring Paul Di'Anno this was the first album featuring guitarist, Adrian Smith. It was also the first album the band had produced by Martin Birch (who then produced all their studio albums up until Dickinson left in '93). It's nice to be able to appreciate where their sound for that era originated. It also continues to be testimony that it takes more than one person to carry a band. Iron Maiden has consistently demonstrated competency in this regard as they've been quite resilient in the face of line-up changes/adversity of this nature. Their large, impressive body of work is testimony to that at this point.This album actually has several good tracks as well. Personally, I like "Another Life" and "Drifters" a lot. It's also an interesting listen given that the band was early in their development and some of their early influencers (e.g., Scorpions?) may be heard more prominently in their sound here then in their later work.Fans of the band will probably appreciate this album and I would encourage picking it up as a result.

This is a great album from the Di'Anno era of Iron Maiden. It shows where the band was headed after their first record, and it showcases Steve & Co.'s musicianship and songwriting prowess. These songs are tailored for Paul's voice. It is a shame he passed away. This is one of those records that you might've bought after hearing Wrathchild, or if you're like me, you bought it because the album cover was amazing.This album made me a lifelong Iron Maiden fan. And it cemented their legacy as THE NWOBHM band of all time. This remaster sounds even better than my original vinyl. (Maybe I need a better record player.) ;) Up the Irons!

Great vintage hard rock by Iron Maiden. The CD case and CD arrived new and factory sealed without any damage to them at all. The CD playback was flawless, too.

All is good

Gracias

I remember when I got this on vinyl way back when. The original band, this album still kicks ass. buy it I think you will like it. Metal/Hard Rock

This was the second Maiden album and the last one with Paul before Bruce took over indefinitely on lead vocals. I do like Killers, but find myself preferring the Maiden material with Bruce Dickinson. I still play this album in my truck and will continue to do so. You can buy this album with confidence even if you are a Bruce Miaden fan

Arrived as expected. New Year's get in shape drumming off to a fine start.
