Metal-Rules.com gives DOD album of year title
Metal-Rules editorial crew votes DOD as best album of 2003:The Top 50 Heavy Metal Albums of 2003
#1 Iron Maiden - Dance of Death
Even though Iron Maiden's new album didn't top the majority of our staff's personal lists, it was placed in nearly all of our top 20 lists. As such, it scored very highly with a whopping 247 points (in comparison, the #2 spot trailed behind with 147 points). DANCE OF DEATH was a welcome comeback from Maiden. This is NOT the quintessential Maiden CD by any means, but tracks like "Paschendale," "Montségur" and "Dance of Death" have ushered the band back into the minds of yet another generation of metalheads.
