1982's THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST remains one of heavy metal's all-time classics. Although the British quintet was in the midst of enjoying its first taste of global success, original singer Paul Di'Anno abruptly quit in 1981. Though stunned, the young band wisely agreed to soldier on, making ex-Samson singer Bruce Dickinson their new frontman. Nicknamed "The Air Raid Siren," Dickinson's voice was to become one of the band's most prominent signature characteristics. It also didn't hurt that the band had composed some of its best songs ever, such as the haunting title song, and its first U.K. Top-10 single, "Run to the Hills." Other highlights include the sinister "Children of the Damned," the melodic "The Prisoner," and the album-closing epic "Hallowed Be Thy Name."

Q (6/00, p.60) - Ranked #100 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...A hook-ridden, overdriven brew of Norsemen, Red Indians and, of course, Satanism, it epitomised British metal's values system..."

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.51) - "Richer, more streamlined and measurably more melodic than its punkier predecessors, BEAST expanded Maiden's musical horizons..."
