Idk Final Frontier has a special place in my heart post reunion. Top to bottom that's an amazing record, though honestly everything post reunion has been pretty good.
Yeah I don't think any of them are bad, though some stuff on The Final Frontier hasn't aged as well for me. We'll see about how The Book of Souls measures up after a while but I think right now it's BNW > AMOLAD > TBOS > DOD > TFF
Dance of Death kinda sucked. Book of Souls really sucked. The Final Frontier was okay. I only really like A matter of Life and Death and Brave New World.
Also the album cover for Dance of Death is fucking retarded. I have no idea what the fuck I'm looking at.
Yeah the album art is infamous lol it was unfinished and they decided to use it anyhow. Real talk though, Dance Of Death has alot of great Maiden songs on it. Title track, Paschendale, Journeyman, Rainmaker, No More Lies.
I like it more than I did upon release, but it's the it's not a great record. Has a couple of awesome tunes though. If Eternity Should Fail, title track, and Empire namely. I've grown way fonder of the Red and The Black as well.

Its just wayyyy tooo looooong, and same-y the whole time. By the time the first disc is through, Im bored of it.
Really Final Frontier last. Imo BNW>TFF>DOD>AMOLAD>BOS. They're all good though
I mean, one of them has to be last lol. El Dorado is probably my least favorite Maiden song post-reunion, and the first half of the album in general is fine but not great. It really takes off at Isle of Avalon. That one, Starblind, and The Talisman are excellent. I don't think as highly of The Man Who Would Be King and When The Wild Wind Blows as yall. Good, not great.
Dance of Death is probably the most underrated of the bunch. Title track, Paschendale, Montsegur, Rainmaker, Face In The Sand, No More Lies all stand out. Not quite as complete an album as Brave New World or AMOLAD but still great. I'm still digging TBOS. Yes it is too long and they need to learn to self-edit more than ever, but I can't say besides Tears of a Clown that I'd drop any song from it.
Yeah Tears Of A Clown is the only one I dislike, but Shadow Of The Valley, Man Of Sorrows, Great Unknown it all bores me. Final Frontier was way more interesting imo. They definitely would benefit from doing a shorter album if they release another record though.

Yeah I agree. There are really only a couple tracks I go back to.
