...is something that should never be allowed to happen. It will be a fuckin mess.

In all honesty, if you think Steve is the weak link you probably shouldnt listen to Maiden? Fool.

This song is Maiden gone Nightwish, pretty much. That chorus melody is 100% Nightwish, as is the overall style/arrangements, but with a Harris touch to it of course.

This one is an extreme grower! First listen I thought it bad to the extent of "will never listen to this again" but Im glad I did because now I 'kin love it! Steve working some weird druidic magic here...

To elaborate: I like the album, but that's not the point. There are 15 other Maiden albums that I like. Balanced setlists are always the best.

FFS Noooo!

If bought in a store it can't be considered a leak, so should be fine reviewing it here then?

I go beyond that. I have them alongside the 80's and 90's classics in my playlist, and they hold up very well.

No Not impossible. Even Steve said recently he wouldnt mind playing Only The Good Die Young on a future tour. If Steve is fine with it, I dont see the rest of the band objecting.

Imagine a tour with not only Alexander, but an entire setlist of never-played-live material such as Only The Good Die Young, The Duellists etc...I'd fuckin kill to see that happen!

I have a soft spot for Virtual XI as well as The X Factor. It's a puzzling album in that I recognize all of its flaws, of which there are plenty, and yet I still enjoy listening to it. All songs have good flow and strong, memorable melodies. It lacks guitar harmonies and has simplistic...

How can it be a spoiler when the song is officially released?

That's what I make of it, that the lyrics are Napoleon's thoughts while exiled on Elba... What do others make of it?

So what the hell are the lyrics about?

It has X-Factor vibes due to the fact that it has emotion and passion, something that has been largely abscent since 2000
