I still think that, as true as Steve's words are about how stressful the work involved with a new album is, he's getting sidetracked. And the pause in the calendar in 2027 may finally be him deciding to do things at a different pace, with less time pressure.

If this announcement isn't a subtle way of anticipating the band's retirement at the end of the RFYL World Tour (I confess I have that fear), it should indeed indicate a new album to be recorded and released in 2027. Hopefully, that's the way it goes. With more time for writing, recording, and...

Bolsonaro's party considered her for a while, but polls indicated low popularity. Even so, she will likely run for the Senate or vice presidency.

Jair Bolsonaro, former president of Brazil, has just been sentenced to 27 years in prison for attempted coup d'état. What a great day for democracy lovers! It's certainly one of the most important days for Brazil's still-new democracy, which is proving to be one of the most established in the...

Apart from the intro of Days of Future Past, that is one of the weakest tracks for me, I fully agree with you. All of these moments are really emotional and brings a smile to my face (and, of course, make the hair of my neck stand out, specially the chorus of Hell on Earth).

Today marks four years since Senjutsu was released. Time flew by and I started this thread to hear your thoughts on it after all this time. I still really like it; it's an album that's aged well for me, better than The Book of Souls, for example. I still consider Stratego, TWOTW, The Parchment...

Yes, I understand. It's just that, considering their age and the fact that Nicko has already stopped touring, I really regret that they don't focus all their creative energy and time on new Maiden albums. But then again, they don't seem all that concerned about it.

But doesn't he enjoy even more recording a new Maiden album?! I really don't understand this.

No, please. British Lion is awful. Why would Steve spend time and energy, at this point in his career, recording a non-Maiden album?! I know he relies on the agreement and collaboration of others, and Adrian and Bruce seem to enjoy their solo careers more than we'd like, but he could definitely...

This news shook me more than I imagined. Ozzy is a legend, one of the greatest icons in rock history. It's crazy to think that without him, much of what we listen to and love simply wouldn't exist. Thanks for everything, Madman! RIP.

Oh, man, that would have been really awesome.

That's what I think too. In fact, Martin is my second favourite vocalist of Sabbath, just below Dio, despite being Ozzy the most iconic of all, ofc. Headless Cross is brilliant, in quite the same level of Sabbath's most classic albums, and Tyr, Cross Purpose and Eternal Idol are great.

I think they were still on the top until LOTB part 1, in 2019. LOTB part 2 was clearly the beginning of the end, for me. I remember feeling sad during the show I've been to in 2022, when I realized how much the band's performance had worsened compared to 2019.

Seventh Son. That was easy for me: Seventh Son is always on my top 2, while AMOLAD never really catched me. It's a great album, ok, but I just can't see it as a masterpiece, as many of the members here consider.

The X Factor, for sure. Sign of the Cross is a masterpiece, Man on the Edge is one of their best short-rockers, Lord of the Flies and The Edge of Darkness are great ones and, in general, all the songs have something special, such as beautiful melodies and good lyrics. It's an album that I easily...
