Numerology also confirms the conspiracy! If you use each letter's position in the alphabet and add them together:
4D chess right there.Somebody call the QAnon Shaman, I’ve stumbled upon a Bruce-related conspiracy right before our very eyes!
Facts:
1. The blue vinyl edition of The Mandrake Project is being sold exclusively through Walmart in the U.S.
2. Walmart owns the big box membership club Sam’s Club.
3. Sam’s Club’s store brand label looks strikingly familiar:
4. The CEO of Walmart, Doug McMillon, was an adviser to former U.S. President Donald Trump and regularly contributes to Republican candidates and causes.
5. The Mandrake Project is being released in March 2024, a mere 8 months before the U.S. Presidential election.
Conclusion: The Mandrake Project is an elaborate infomercial for Walmart and Sam’s Club, and the album’s story will be full of subliminal messages encouraging listeners in the U.S. to vote for Donald Trump in 2024!
My god, they must have recruited Bruce after hearing his views on Brexit, and we should have known he could only afford the high quality of the “Afterglow Of Ragnarok” video with loads of outside funding! The horror!

New Nightwish, Amaranthe etc. albums used to get various different colours, I think... 
As for the formats of The Mandrake Project, I'm looking forward for getting the vinyl version and possibly the CD Bookpack as well.... Expensive as it gets...
Without any doubt.
It's very heavy, only without the chorus. The snippets from the studio were from different song/s iirc, at least one of them for sure. Maybe they're from the next single.
I think you're right about the feel, mostly because it's a concept album. TCW (+ TOS) is probably the best answer.
I will also get the CD book. I like to have albums only in this format, but little did I know that I would get a 5th in a row which again has a black background...
Because music, at least for me, implies musicians playing real instruments. Not computer programming.And because music, at least for me also, implies singers who can really sing right and not using of vocoder or stuff like that.
Wanna gimme money, well you better get ready
All is possible, even that.
But, I really doubt there will be some bonus tracks this time.

Bonus songs were relevant when CDs were hugely expensive on the Japanese market, compared to the rest of the world, so that buyers got their money's worth. There is no point in releasing bonus songs any more, though it takes away the charm they had.
It's true but bonus songs serve other purposes now such as enticing people to purchase special physical editions or juicing the streaming algorithms with frequent releases (this makes it more likely for an artist to appear on the homepage or in automatically generated playlists, it's partially why Taylor Swift frequently releases various deluxe versions of her albums after the initial release).Bonus songs were relevant when CDs were hugely expensive on the Japanese market, compared to the rest of the world, so that buyers got their money's worth.

I actually like a lot of Fantano's content when he's staying in the lanes that he knows best (generally pop, punk, some hip hop). His takes on genres like Metal, Jazz, prog rock are awful and just kinda suggest he doesn't really know what he's talking about with these styles. He's never really given modern Maiden any particularly positive reviews, I'm not sure if he even reviewed Senjutsu. Surprised he had anything to say about the Bruce Dickinson track, but not really interested in his takes there. I think he does some good work but wish he wasn't treated as the be all end all of online music criticism as there is room for that type of creator with other music styles.The new song made The Needle Drop's worst tracks of the week
Bruce Dickinson said:
Bruce speaks about experiences he and the band had at this years PowerTrip.
Me thinks, next Christmas will be much leaner for him, the band and esp. Rod Smallwood. Shut Up, You - occult nonsense loving - bloody fool!

Bruce is right though. With a few exceptions, most of the bands at Power Trip regularly tour and you can see them play almost every year for standard ticket prices. I was living temporarily right outside Indio after Power Trip and noticed that while I was there, Guns n Roses was performing in LA just weeks later (it's about a 2-hour drive). The people who live in the area or travel to the area are the stereotype of rich elites who are primarily interested in status. I highly doubt the majority of audience members were that interested in the music, and more interested in the pomp around the event and getting social media cred. Bruce is right, they could have played Virtual XI in its entirety with Blaze on vocals and the crowd would have not known any better. The advertising for the Power Trip event was also so cynical and constantly inundating to the point of stupidity.
