Powerslave (1984)

I've been listening to a lot of Maiden at work recently (much to the chagrin of my co-workers, but fuck them, I'm the boss, right?). I've decided that Powerslave is my favorite album. Is this sacrilege? I don't know enough other metal snobs to know if this is an acceptable favorite album.

Also, I am very, very interested in playing "Ed Hunter" the Iron Maiden video game.
From their website:
In this death race with Eddie you start in the dimly lit streets of London’s East End (‘Iron Maiden’ & ‘Killers’). You must then release Eddie from the Asylum (‘Piece of Mind’) and pursue him through Hell (‘The Number of the Beast’), a graveyard (‘Live After Death’), Egypt and the Pyramids (‘Powerslave’), the Future (‘Somewhere in Time’), and finally to a post-apocalyptic landscape (‘Virtual XI’). In the final moments of the game you must help Eddie save the planet by defeating the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse… that is, if you have the skills to get that far!
I'm thinking about buying it.
