Every Iron Maiden Album Closing Song Ranked From Worst To Best

6. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate - Brave New World

After Bruce Dickinson had been away for seven years and guitarist Adrian Smith had been away for ten, both classic Maiden members returned to record the band's first album as a six-piece, which was 2000's Brave New World.

The album that opens with the excellent The Wicker Man closes with the good-but-not-excellent The Thin Line Between Love and Hate, which is a nightmare to type out repeatedly.

Brucey boy sounds great here (give whoever layered those vocals a medal) and the solo towards the end is blistering to say the least. It goes on a bit, but there's a lot to like about The Thin Line... you know what, you know what it's called.
