I don't have high expectations for this album. I was disappointed by Mandrake, and this album is coming out so soon after it, even though he surely put his best ideas into Mandrake, why not?
It doesn't matter that it's coming out so soon after the previous one because he has a new band. Also, TMP is ideas that had been collected over the years. About the best ideas, ofc he thinks they are great and some of his best, but I think Bruce sometimes chooses songs with a different feel/parts (like Sonata) over anything. I mean, Shadow is one of his best ideas, Silver Wings too, but he didn't put them on TOS.
In fact Vigor Mortis can be a title track.
It's possible for sure, I guess without the title appearing in the lyrics.
They recorded 18 songs in 3 weeks or something like that
Yeah, but they didn't write/work on them only during that period.
Of these, "The Strength of Death" or "The Force of Death" are the closest literal translations, while "Death's Vitality" best captures the paradoxical nature of the Latin. It is essentially an oxymoron, much like saying "living death" or "vibrant decay."
So basically a continuation of TMP theme? He said some songs will be a continuation (if there is a title track, maybe it is one of them), but the album will have different themes for sure.
 
So, the best material they've come up with ends up on Bruce's solo albums and Steve's solo albums. And whatever's left goes on the Maiden album. It is what it is.
 
Steve Harris said this about it:

As cynical as we can be about it, that sounds promising.
They always

I think we should make a compolation of how many times they hsve said this is the best album we have ever recorded of the new album.
 
Don't you think I've scaled back my use of AI art quite a bit?
Don't you think I've scaled back at it?
Don't you think I've scaled back at it quite a bit? Hmm?
I am a weak man because I couldn't resist doing this

If Bruce's Vigor Mortis is released in March, when can we expect to hear the first track from it? January? The official announcement may come in December.

Earlier. I'd say a week or two after Maiden tour wraps up. And he will hint it more and more during the course of the tour.
