Iron maiden - Killers

Killers has two instrumentals which include "Genghis Khan". This song really flies! Drummer Clive Burr beats the heck out of the cymbals on this one."Killers" is a metal classic. It's not quite as good as the debut, and definitely not as good as "Brave New World", but it's certainly a worthy addition to your collection
Killers - I have not to say unless..this song perfect and best...
Murders In The Rue Morgue - The thing about Maiden was that they were literate. A song written about the Edgar Allan Poe short story, was this thinking man's metal? Sure. The intro is slow and haunting, and then it cranks.
Ides Of March - Cool little intro instrumental into the next song. Maiden sounds so much more polished here on Killers than they did on the raw effort of their debut. The production by Martin Birch has stepped up a notch or three. Great little show off piece.Wrathchild - A great metal song. The bass line is so cool. Harris totally rules. Heavy. DiAnno's vocals are blunt and brutal. Sheer metal goodness. Great song! Coming to get you.....

I prefer "Transylvania", from the debut, but both are excellent. Many songs on here are now considered classics, like "Wrathchild", "Purgatory", and the title track. But it doesn't stop there. The lesser-known songs are just as good, such as "Drifter", "Twilight Zone", and the ballad "Prodigal Son". It's just perfect. Adrian Smith makes his debut here, and thus the legend begins.Another Life - The begining is cool with Clive on drums and the wailing riff. A straightforward rocker. DiAnno's vocals sound so much more refined on this outing. Exciting.Genghis Kahn - is more epic with lots of tasty guitar work and Great little instrumental that becomes just a tad bit mechanical towards the middle. These guy meshed so well as musicians, however, and it showed here. Harris shines.

Innocent Exile - The Steve Harris intro is awesome. Prodigal Son - Smooth, flowing song. After the all-out assault of Killers, this is a much needed break from the slamming metal. If Killers is said to have a soft spot, then Prodigal Son would be it. The song is good, just not as exciting as the rest of the album. The vocals are reminiscent of Strange World, where they phase out DiAnno's voice. Still a solid song. Just not Maiden's best.Purgatory - This song sounds like the polished version of something left over from the first album. It shreds and it's metal, but it sounds like it may belong with Sanctuary or Prowler.Twilight Zone - This songs is very often over-looked. DiAnno's voice gets very strange here to the point where he sounds almost exactly like Klaus Meine from Scorpions. Weird. I always liked this song. It's straight Maiden. Like Purgatory, it may have been another leftover from the first album. Metal!Drifter - Loose and moody. This is Maiden just being Maiden. Sounds like an impromptu song the way it goes this way and that. Shredding section in the middle. The main riff is the Maiden signature sound. The lyrics aren't very memorable, however, so it becomes another weak spot on a very nearly perfect album.
