Sounds just about right to me. 
Funny... Maiden are the worst and the best in two categories.
Well, the cover is very bad, but Im sure there are much worst ablum covers out there, don't blame Maiden and put them at the top of the 'kin list!!.
Well, I think people react more emotionnaly with Maiden, as the awaited standard is well above average. Whereas, for other bands, people care less.
Cheers
Naah... I think Maiden are hated this way and underrated by different magazines from no reason. Maybe because of Maiden being the greatest Heavy Metal band in the world.
The point is the media absolutely hates Maiden in such way they make them look bad in these kind of charts/lists.
Anyway, I don't care about this damn magazine, and I don't buy it as well...
Well, it's a readers' poll, so it's the buyers of that magazine who are stupid... but they voted Maiden as the best gig at the same time...
Cheers
Well... in my opinion the DoD cover is just one of the worst album covers for this year, if not the worst (but I'm talking just about the main bands.... you'll surely find some worse covers by worse and almost unknown bands)
And as for their "Best 2003 Gig" thing, I think it's really justified, cause I think no band did such an awesome show as these guys...
sh*t! Best show, of course! Worst cover?! NO!!! I didnt like it first time, but now its ok and I have a 1 meter big poster on my wall already. I love the album and the cover is ok. I simply cant say anything negative about Maiden in their entire career 
WORST COVER IS Selloutica´s "Old Anger" album, thats simply the poorest and fastest made cover ever and they even released it in 100 different colours! ![cussing[1].gif](style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cussing[1].gif)
And what about all the poor non-sense covers by other bands?
I simply dont care about polls
I agree with this... The DoD cover is not at maiden level... we can expect more from maiden and not this CGI cover...
About their live performance, they're the best! I've seen them in BA, Argentina. Their show was really cool... they're powerful.

Nah. I think its really because the DOD album cover does absolutely suck bad, bad bad. Hopefully Maiden will take notice of this for the next album and make a great cover again.
That does sound very true! Perhaps it isnt the worst cover... still a bad one!
No arguing with the best live band however!

The thing isnt bad because of the CGI stuff, but because of BAD CGI stuff.... that seems to have been drawn in a matter of minutes, and that's why it sucks...
A good CGI cover IMO is the one of the Wildest Dreams single... that one doesnt look like it was done by a three year old kid playing with his dad's computer

were you referring to the eddie with hat? or the dvd single with car?
i think that the wildest dreams eddie is a bit pathetic... Bring back the good ol' covers i say!
