Routinely ranked among the greatest heavy metal albums of all time, The Number of the Beast is the birth of Iron Maiden as we know it, a relentless metal machine lifted to soaring new heights by the arrival of erstwhile Samson frontman Bruce Dickinson. Dickinson’s operatic performance here made him an instant metal icon, challenging even Rob Halford for bragging rights, and helped launch the band into the stratosphere… Maiden took the basic blueprint Priest had created in the late ’70s — aggressive tempos, twin-guitar interplay, wide-ranging power vocals — and cranked everything up faster and louder. The album’s intensity never lets up, the musical technique is peerless for its time, and there isn’t a truly unmemorable song in the bunch… Everything fell into place for Iron Maiden here at exactly the right time, and the result certainly ranks among the top five most essential heavy metal albums ever recorded. A cornerstone of the genre. – Steve Huey, allmusic.com
