another cool fan art I just found on facebook

<< There’s some very complex songs on this album which took a lot of hard work to get them exactly as we wanted them to sound>> This make me think of tracks like Avalon or Starblind from TFF

I fear the bluray will just have the fullhd video of TWOTW, but I'm hoping for some rehearsal and recording backstage video

judging by the titles, some songs seems to be strangely related, like "Senjutsu" and "Stratego" (#1 and #2 on the album), or "Days of Future Past" and "The Time Machine" (again one next to the other in the tracklist)

this is very interesting! Thank you for posting it. Also, the video looks so much better on Vimeo (and the audio is not ruined like on Youtube)

Guys, I was wondering what should be the meaning of the puppet on the chinese character's lap. Anyone with a clue?

I believe the reason why the audio kind of sucks on the animated video is because they compressed and manipolated the dynamics of the track to make room for all the sfx (you know, explosions and other sounds). It could have been done better

this song will be incredible live, that chorus is perfect for an entire arena to sing along

Have you seen The Writing On The Wall? great song and video!!

great idea!

one of the best of the album for me - i love that 80's feeling in the bridge! I find myself playing it as the album opener more often than not

i couldn't agree more, this is the first album in a long time that doesn't suffer from the "too long intro" syndrome

this song would make such a perfect occasion to bring Michael Kenney on stage and finally acknowledge him as the official seventh maiden member. it would be perfect!

correct. and it seems that Robin Williams played one game too, so the song was probably inspired by Abery and Steve talking about the late comedian; the lyrics actually resemble a conversation

oh well, i could not argue with that, but i would be surprised nonetheless :)
