There are others, but I'm tired/brain-zapped.
I don't see anything wrong with DoD being your second favorite. It usually rotates around somewhere in my top five. It's a great album and I love the atmosphere on tracks like No More Lies, Paschendale, Dance of Death, and Face in the Sand. Too bad it's got the worst album opener in Iron Maiden history.
