 Edward the Great: Greatest Hits Music at Shop Ireland
This album seems to have gone more for the 'big chart hits' than what people who have heard alot from Maiden will collectively tell you are their favorite songs.
I feel That a few songs on edward the great like, "bring your daughter" and "man on the edge" shouldn't be on here, and think they should be replaced with "stranger in a strange land" and "Hallowed be thy name".
This Iron Maiden album is basically another 'Best-of'including classic songs like 'Run to the Hills' and 'Number of the Beast',but unfortunately theres a few songs missing that should have been on here,including Phantom of the Opera and Hollowed be thy Name.

The album has missed some hits such as hallowed be thy name, which personally is my favourite song from 'number of the beast', it has also missed running free (featured on the self titled album) and a few more.
Futureal: the first time i heard this song i really didnt like it, but then when i got this album, it grew on me, and now it remains high on my list of best maiden songs, it starts really fast, and on the whole is a fast song.

 Iron Maiden - Edward The Great, Greatest Hits Review - sputnikmusic
With the Album opening on the blasting drums of "Run to The Hills" and closing on Bruce Dickinson screeching for Brazil to scream for him, Edward the Great is Sixteen songs that prove that Iron Maiden are one of the Greatest bands in metal and one of the greatest on the planet.
Great album, but I think that if you let these songs grow on you a little you'd realize how amazing most of them are
And as for the Trooper, the part where hes screaming "ah ah ah ah ah" as you blandly described it, his voice is used more in that part as an instrument itself to accompany the galloping powerchords which sounds really cool.

Their guitarest is so great and probably one of the best of all time.

With Bruce Dickinson (a respectable fencer in Europe and who flies commercial jumbo jets) on vocals, one who is considered one of the great Metal singers of all time and Steve Harris,one of the best Metal/Rock bassist in the genre, Iron Maiden still hold the reigns tightly in Metal.
With such time tested Metal hits albums such as "Killers", "The Number of the Beast", "Piece of Mind", "Powerslave", and my personal favorite, their debut album, "Iron Maiden", with Paul Di`Anno, it's easy to see that this band has created the defining rules of Metal Rock.
