I have to say I find both new songs more enjoyable than feared. I still think Roy Z is one of the least interesting guitarists out there, but I like these two songs much better than most of TOS.

I wish they would have been more adventurous with their show openers. The X Factour and GMETID deserves praise for not opening with an album opener, but most of the time you sort of know which song is going to open the show, even if you don't know the setlist. I imagine opening the show with The...

4:30. I have no idea what that sound is, but it annoys me to no end!

I really like it. It does have its flaws (the vocals on certain songs, The Time Machine, and the "ding" in HOE comes to mind), but it is the most interesting album of the reunion era.

"WOTW" making its debut on the LOTB tour poster does point to that, but if that's the case, it makes little sense to release the song 11 months before the tour starts.

Their profile image on Spotify has changed from the (horrible) NOTD Eddie, to the "Tower". Looking more likely that it is a central part of the new album's artwork.

Way of the Warrior? God, I hope not...

Brilliant! Much better than what I expected (the singles from the last couple of albums were pretty meh). Can't really go wrong with Smith/Dickinson, and i love the Uriah Heep vibes.

They're just a bit lazy, simple as that. I did applaud them for taking risks when it came to the Early Days tour (not playing FOTD, and playing some of the deeper cuts of that era) and AMOLAD, but they know that the fans are going to go crazy no matter which songs they play. When it comes to...

That might be the correct setlist, but the order can't be right. The "slow" trio COTD/Blood Brothers/Tears of a Clown would destroy all momentum.

1. If Eternity Should Fail 9 2. Speed of Light 6 3. The Great Unknown 8 4. The Red and the Black 10 5. When The River Runs Deep 8 6. The Book of Souls 10 7. Death or Glory 7 8. Shadows of the Valley 8 9. Tears of a Clown 3 10. The Man of Sorrows 4 11. Empire of the Clouds 5

Awful album and a terrible time for Maiden. However, Blaze's live versions of songs from VXI from after he was fired from Maiden, shows that with better production and a more focused direction, the album could have been decent. For all the blame that Blaze gets, it was Steve who let the band...

I tried to like it, but I just can't. For a 18 minute song, there's not alot going on. I consider it to be Maiden's worst "epic". This might be the one song that has suffered the most from Shirley's poor production. There's just no life to it and no sense of danger when the climax/crash...

Best opener since Sign of the Cross. Majestic.

Anybody? Or is possible to just buy access to high res digital files? I don't buy CDs anymore.
