I think BNW, DOD, and AMOLAD are all killer albums. I didn't like Dance Of Death at first, but now it's one of my favorites. That's also my favorite guitar tone they've ever had as well.
I remember reading an interview with Bill Steer of Carcass and he said C# was the perfect tuning in his opinion. Carcass never used it though. Maybe his stoner rock/metal band Firebird did?
Some more info for each one...

I love old Maiden as much as the next guy, but I think every album since Brave New World has been amazing. BNW is actually my favorite album of theirs. I really like their new stuff. I have no doubts this will be a cool album. :rock:
Fuck yeah! Sounds awesome to me. Maiden never fails to impress. I love how all of the songs on the album are going to be so long. Amazing how they can keep writing great music after all these years. :rock:
EDIT: That little lead part at the very beginning of the song reminded anyone else of...
Hard to say IMO. I like Guthrie's solo album more than any of Petrucci's by far, but Petrucci wrote song amazing songs back in the day with Dream Theater. And I never liked Buckethead at all either. Don't find his playing interesting at all.
