    Maiden new album in 2014

    I've recently been thinking about what they will do next. My hopes are high for IM16. A Matter of Life and Death and The Final Frontier are probably my two favorite Maiden albums right now, so they're definitely on a path recently that I like. If this is the last, I would love to see them make...

    Dream Theater

    The simplicity is obviously intentional in light of the fact that the album is self-titled. It may be a little out of place among Dream Theater album covers but no more so than Falling Into Infinity for using a different font or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence for being a more simplistic design...

    Dream Theater

    Yeah, though I got Awake before getting any of the really lengthy stuff, I do remember being aware of the lengths of songs like Octavarium and wondering why it and I&W didn't really have anything beyond 11 minutes (especially since they were supposed to be DT's best). But length definitely isn't...

    Dream Theater

    I agree with this 100%. When I first got Awake, it was only my third DT album after I&W and ToT, so the whole idea of a three song suite was pretty novel. For that reason, I really liked it at first, as in "three songs that go together and follow one theme? You can DO that?" But once I heard A...

    Dream Theater

    Just to clarify, I wasn't really doubting that you were acquainted with all the current information, I was just trying to make sure all the relevant information made its way here, since some of the other people participating in this thread probably aren't active at DTF. I definitely agree that...

    Dream Theater

    Also, Roadrunner has confirmed that one song (probably Illumination Theory) is over 20 minutes long and that there are songs that are less than 5 minutes long. I'm thinking 10-15 minutes for the False Awakening Suite and Illumination Theory could, to me, be anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes (but...

    Clive Burr passes away

    I only just saw this news today, as I've been traveling. Definitely going to play the first three albums today in tribute. Very sad news. :(

    Best Album Ever Survivor: Somewhere In Time wins

    I think you accidentally made a second Round 15. As in, this is actually the 16th round. Was momentarily confused by this.

    Megadeth To Release "Super Collider" June 2013

    Could be pretty cool. Not sure about the title (maybe he is having a go at CERN, I just searched Alex Jones' website, though, and he doesn't have a strong stand on them (Alex Jones is an American conspiracy theorist and good friend of Dave's; his "documentary" Endgame inspired the album of the...

    IRON MAIDEN Song Used In Literature Class

    But not a good way to teach about evolutionary biology.

    It's hard to say if we'll get a DVD from the Maiden England tour

    Yeah, I'm just going to hold off until it goes into a range I find to be reasonable. I don't want to do a preorder now and hope that they lower the price and give me that, because I prefer to know the exact details of a deal before I get into one. In any case, panic averted.

    Dance of Death - re-imagined

    I know that a lot of people remixed the Guitar Hero stems to Metallica's Death Magnetic to get past the shitty overloud mix on that album. I believe that the label denounced it as an unauthorized fan mix, and the band denied that there was anything wrong with the production in the first place...

    It's hard to say if we'll get a DVD from the Maiden England tour

    Wow, I'll add that to my mental list of shady Amazon activities. Alongside the ol' "hey, retail price is $40, we're selling it for $30; you're saving money on this here $30 DVD!"

    It's hard to say if we'll get a DVD from the Maiden England tour

    In the US, Amazon.com is charging some pretty ridiculous pre-order prices on the DVD and CD. $29.39 for the DVD And a whopping $35.54 for the CD Note that it marks both as being "Import." I wonder if that is impacting the price. I may be a big Maiden fan, and I'm excited for Maiden England...

    Best Album Ever Survivor: Somewhere In Time wins

    I don't have that one yet, so I wouldn't know if they do or not. I can really only comment on the albums I have, which are Images through Train of Thought, and on those albums I don't think there's anything cringe worthy.
