The original article on Maidenconcerts just reported a collection of rumours appeared on facebook page "Italyandglory". There was nothing new.

Cool!

#1 in Italy http://www.fimi.it/classifiche#/category:album/year:2015/id:2105

Only standard edition this time, although the deluxe one looks really cool. For TFF I bought all of the three editions (the standard cd was for a present, but I have to say that I liked it more than the "mission edition").

The delivery of my copy was postponed on next monday, but at least I got the mp3's and the digital booklet with Amazon's autorip function. Well, I didn't actually resist to the leak call, so after about a week I can say that I love this album. Thank you guys, it was great to read all of your...

Thanks Foro! I enjoyed reading your first impressions on the songs.

Bruce said it on the italian interview.

This is the rough translation of a brief interview with Bruce, appeared on today's issue of "Corriere della Sera", an italian newspaper. Nothing really new, or of particular interest, apart the confirmation that "Tears Of A Clown" is about Robin Williams...

The link to the italian review is in this post: http://forum.maidenfans.com/threads/the-book-of-souls-official-pre-release-thread-contains-spoilers.31236/page-204#post-531147 and @Ranko did a nice job summarizing the content here...

From what I read, it seems that the guy considers it as an average song, that maybe doesn't fully meet expectations; a two-faced song, that could satisfy fans tired of longer songs in the last two albums, while it could be considered not so spontaneous and heartfelt. Definitely not the highlight...

Another review of TBOS (in italian, sorry), from Metalitalia.com http://metalitalia.com/articolo/iron-maiden-the-book-of-souls-traccia-per-traccia/ So, in extreme synthesis, it seems that the highlights for them are the title track, Empire Of The Clouds, but especially Shadows Of The Valley...

Sorry, I've just read the updated policy about spoilers. Forget what I said before. :)

@Diplomat and others: wouldn't it be better to keep using spoiler tags when talking about song details? ;)

An in-depth review of the album (in french): http://www.radiometal.com/article/iron-maiden-lecture-de-the-book-of-souls,188952

According to a Warner Music France promo flyer posted on Eddie's Italy forum, it seems that the 2-cd standard edition of TBOS will have a digipack format, and the 2-cd limited edition will include a 28-page booklet.

"Triple LP Heavyweight Black Vinyl"

Found this (recent?) Metal Hammer article scan on Eddie's Forum Italy.

That was my feeling, too.

At the moment, the original pressrelease is still visible through Google's cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TXTRlpapB1MJ:www.mynewsdesk.com/no/wmgno/pressreleases/iron-maiden-kommer-med-nytt-album-1182885 Anyway, we'll wait and see... :)
