Name your fave three songs from the reunion era yet

[Vaenyr]

Nah, Kevin Shirley is a talented engineer, just listen to his work outside Maiden. For better or worse he's delivering exactly what Steve is asking for. The blame is not on Kevin, it's on Steve.

 

[Belshazzar]

The fact that they’ve used Kevin Shirley for 25 years suggests they are deaf. Or at least Steve is.

Couldn't agree more. I don't want the "modern" metal sound where everything has zero dynamics and the recording is pro-tooled to within an inch of its life (i.e. anything in the Sneap style), I just want something clear with some nice effects and crunchier guitars.

But ask me tomorrow and I'll give you three different songs. The reunion is simply too stuffed with great material to only pick three.

I'll go ahead and say this: I like Modern Maiden more than Classic Maiden and I hope to see a tour in the vein of the current one, where it's from The X Factor to Senjutsu

Honestly, if Maiden retired after SSOASS I would return to a few of their albums, but they wouldn't have become one of my favorite bands.

As great and influential the 80s albums are, SSOASS is the only one in my top 5.

Honestly, 2 reunion albums are in my top 6, but the rest are 80s albums. I can understand why some people love the reunion stuff.

Montsegur
El Dorado
These Colours Don't Run

Lots of close ones in the first 4, but didn't bother checking the last 2.

There's a Steve-ism in the lyrics that really annoys me

My example of this (from a different song) is the immortal line "they only fill us with the stuff that they want"

why are both bad Steve-isms about propaganda?!
