iron maiden s/t lp

i've been listening to a lot of maiden in my two month period of having no computer....and before that two. but what album should i start with? how about the first and one of the best. it's a lot more raw than they'd be known for. wonder if that's just because they were new at this. some people have point out how this sounds punk influenced. well sorry steeve but it realy does. and i beleive maiden did have some connections to punk. i don't remember what they were but i remember reading about them. paul's voice. you can't get much better than this! i love later albums like number of the beast and powerslave and the polished high vocals paul adds a layer of i guess you'd call it grit. his voice can go high but he sounds like some dude ready to fight. every other musician is great on this as well. this album gets ripped on for not being consistant or whatever. my responce, what the hell are you talking about? i don't really like the mix. compared to killers it's a pretty weak mix. other than that i can't find one falt with this record. even the two rerecorded songs from the demo are great. and i'm the first to say i usually don't like rerecorded songs. the magic seems to be gone most of the time. if you want a great example check the unholy death album by NME. anyway this is a must own if you like nwobhm. and if you don't....well i hate you. seriously get this and rock out!
