This is probably going to be a controversial post. Let me first say that Lost In A Lost World is a great song that took a couple listens to click, but after it did... wow. I love Bruce’s vocal flourish during the verses. That said, the rest of Steve’s songs are a big swing and miss for me. Hell...

A hook, musically or in any art form, is exactly that. It hooks you, or grabs your attention, just as a fishing hook is used to catch a fish.

Judging by Bruce's hint in the recent Eddie Trunk interview, Maiden is going to be in the New York metropolitan area sometime in mid-April of next year. I will be going, hell or high water. I'm pretty heavily into photography and I think it'd be cool to capture some of the atmosphere outside the...

I live about two hours north of NYC, so I'm basically guaranteed at least one show within reasonable driving distance (or more likely I'd take Metro North). I hope they don't play in Jersey again. The Izod center paled in comparison to MSG.

That would make more sense. I wondered why they'd say clown twice. As someone who writes lyrics, I can say that these are pretty good and thoughtful. This would be the perfect song for a second single. Not that Maiden cares, but this is the kinda song that could go number one in a lot of...

Lyrics as far as I can make them out.

Yeah, and he also confused Wasted Years with The Evil That Men Do. If you're gonna review something, get the freaking facts straight. Glad he liked it, but if I hadn't heard the album, I'd take that guy's opinion with a grain of salt.

GnR aren't a parody. They're a freak show.

Part of the reason (aside from the disgusting screamo vocals) I can't get into today's metal is it seems every band is trying to outdo each other by being faster, louder and more brutal. Mile a minute power chords and super speed double bass shit is not music. There's no melody or even attempt...

Close. It's

It was already posted. Great review that echoes a lot of my thoughts. The part about hyperbole resonated with me. I tried to describe the album to a coworker who is also a Maiden fan. It's hard to put into words what this music is like. It's similar but different to anything they've ever done...

After listening to this song a handful of times, I can honestly say it's beautiful in every sense of the world. My problem, though, is that Empire isn't an Iron Maiden song. It feels out of place next to the 75 minutes of raucous heavy metal that precede it. But I love it anyway. It took Bruce...

I know, it hurts me too. I've tried to get into it, but I find the song pretty annoying. Transylvania more than makes up for it. To whoever disliked Ides of March: WTF?

I keep telling myself I won't listen to the songs again until Friday, but the stupid melodies are stuck in my head. Right now I'm hearing the pre chorus from BOS. The only cure is some other song!

I don't actively dislike too many songs, but off the top of my head: Invaders because of the chorus, Gangland, Phantom of the Opera, To Tame A Land, Quest For Fire, El Dorado and most of No Prayer. Seriously, my preferred torture method would be forcing an enemy to listen to that atrocious...
