'The War Within' (2004), Shadows Fall

#16. "Albatross"
'Deliverance' (1994), Corrosion Of Conformity

Is it lazy or uninspired? NO.
The Time Machine's lyrics has the narrator talking about...

Smith/Dickinson - More straightforward rockers with bluesy licks.
Harris - Full on epics. Has written some of my favourite songs by...

Harris/Murray
Gers/Harris...
If Maiden ever decided to make an album full of classics with an entire orchestral ensemble, similar to how Metallica did on their S&M album, a setlist by me would be like this:
1. Aces High
2. Dance Of Death
3. Phantom Of The Opera
