What's your favourite post reunion album and why? #2

[Cat Milk Supreme]

I had BNW last time but I'd probbaly have AMOLAD first now.

I tend not to revisit the reunion albums a lot these days because of the length. I've always found shorter 80s style albums to be more digestible.

I'm a fan of the reunion though, each album features songs I consider to be genuine bangers, songs I'd gladly hear live any time

Why?

Dance Of Death is beautiful too and has great stuff like The Age Of Innocence,

I know: "opinions"

The lyrics obviously suck, but the music is awesome imo. It uses the James Bond chord progression and I'm currently drawing a blank on any other Maiden song that uses that.

We agree to disagree here I guess.
Even if this would´ve been an instrumental I wouldn´t like it. Nicko´s ...How Old version is fun though but that's only because of his contribution.

I never liked the music much. Too happy, very similar to how I feel about the music in Gates of Tomorrow. There's some rough stuff in there.

Re Age of Innocence - Forget the words, the intro follows a progression that I find uninteresting and vaguely annoying, the vocal melody and delivery for the intro and the verse is way more than just vaguely annoying. It's all just so shit to my ears. And the words also suck even taking any politics out of them, they are just cringy lines for a metal song.

The only slightly decent thing in this song is the chorus, it kinda soars and the words don't suck but this in no way saves this song. There's 3 bits in the middle, lead breaks, the break downy bit and they all feel shoehorned in. And they're nothin special anyway.

One of the very few Maiden songs I actively dislike.

Isle Of Avalon has the Mission Impossible theme hiding in plain sight, right in its middle section.
