Customer Reviews
It is essential
It is what it says: an essential collection. Great CD. Sure, many good songs were not included, but a CD has limited room. . . if you are really into Maiden, get their albums!

Good quality. The songs sound good remastered.

Good Compilation of Heavy Metal from a Great Band
I'm more of a Stones fan. I am not an expert on either heavy metal or Iron Maiden. However, I love Iron Maiden's sound, and have for many years. They are an intelligent band, both musically and lyrically. This two-CD compilation offers most of their tops songs, unedited (I think) and the sound is incredible. While heavy metal may not be as big as it used to be, those who remember it with nostalgia and long for its energy, layered beauty, and sheer overpowering sound will find this collection to be manna for a heavy metal soul.

These guys were simply the best of the genre, for over twenty years. Put this on your CD changer and prepare to bang your head.

Very good sampling
I was looking to replace my older Maiden still on tape. Liked this CD. To do it in this one collection is adequate for now. However, I think they were a little too diplomatic about the tracks chosen. There is no one release that is weighted heavier than any other. I would have rather seen more tracks chosen from the Powerslave/Somewhere in Time albums timeframe. Audio quality is very good though, and I would recommend this.
