Encyclopedia > Edward the Great (album)

Edward The Great was Iron Maiden's third best of album (counting their 1999 video game Ed Hunter which came with a 20 track best of CD with songs chosen by the fans), and was released on November 4, 2002 along with the massive Eddie's Archive box set, as a way to introduce new fans to Maiden. However, many older fans complained about the lack of exclusive or rare material on it. It should be noted that this is the only cd by Iron Maiden to contain an 'Explicit Lyrics' warning.

While the included booklet contains some great pictures of the band throughout the ages and lyrics to all of the songs complete with reference to the original album, I felt it was lacking.

Edward the Great: Greatest Hits Music at Shop Ireland (735 words)
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.
