X Factor was released in 1995 https://illumin.usc.edu/the-loudness-wars/#:~:text=By%20the%20early%201990s%2C%20music,was%20to%20compress%20the%20peaks. By the early 1990s, music producers were elevating the peaks of digitally recorded songs to the point where peak levels started to push the...

I think, if I want to listen to Maiden songs live then I go to a Maiden concert or a tribute band concert. If I go to a Bruce Dickinson concert, I want to hear Bruce Dickinson songs, he has more than enough great songs to not have to become a Maiden Tribute band. However, in saying that. Bring...

My guess as to the X Factor. It was a victim of the Loudness war. With Compression being overused in the industry as a whole during that period to make the album LOUD in an attempt to increase sales, this caused the natural drums to be less punchy and so they tried to compensate by using some...

There used to be money in selling albums. Once people started downloading and sharing music for free, then the bands don't make any money from selling music anymore. Spotify pays them peanuts. So why would a band (a business) (especially a well established band) sink loads of time and money on...

Well, with 19 years in between releases, he doesn't have any momentum. Noone other than die hard fans are listening to this album

Oh, ok, sorry, I don't follow pop charts. It seems that Taylor Swift is commercially astute, and knows how to play the game. If she actively does things to remain top of the charts, then that is very smart. If her fans want to buy everything she releases then that is their choice. You don't...

As far as I understand it Swift got screwed over. Her catalogue was sold against her wishes to another person, so she fought back by re-recording, at a very high quality, her catalogue and effectively making her original catalogue next to worthless for the buyer. It wasn't a cash grab, it was...

When my mother catches colds, they inevitably turn into sinus infections, so she goes on antibiotics.

I agree, Metallica's covers are often better than their own originals. Especially better than anything they've done since MOP. I do love Garage Days

I was pretty damn sure they were never going to do the 90's. While I love NPFD I hear that many Maiden fans don't like it (I can't for the life of me understand why people don't like it), I think there are only two good songs on Fear of the Dark, no good songs on X Factor and none on Virtual...

I'd say Megadeth's best four are head and shoulders above the best four of any of the others.

Maybe its just included in popular track lists, e.g. Ballads tracklist, rather than sought after by people?

Yes, that would have been better.

At least he had the courage to give it a go. It shows a lot of respect.

It's funny how people have such different tastes. For me Eternity has Failed and Resurrection Men are really stellar, top shelf songs. whereas Afterglow and Rain on the Graves are the worst on the album (not bad, just not as good as the other songs on that album)

I never read lyrics. Quite frankly I don't care what they sing about. It's just an excuse to put a vocal melody on the song. I'm just in it for the music. If it sounds good then I'll like it.

Wasting Love is OK, From here to eternity isn't good Apparation isn't good Fugitive isn't good Fear is the key isn't good Chains of misery isn't good Overall, I'd be happy just having the "Fear of the Dark" song and throwing away all the rest. Not enough good songs for an EP. Just release the...

I don't like much of Fear of the Dark. The title track is great though. Be quick or be dead is unique and interesting. Afraid to shoot strangers is pretty decent, but I don't think it has staying power (i.e. it was really enjoyable when first released, but I'm quite bored of it now). Most of...

I love No Prayer for the Dying. Great album, fantastic songs, Bruce sounds fantastic. I don't know why so many Maiden fans have any problem with it.

As I said, I find it weird because I don't wear jewelry and I just don't care about what wedding rings people wear. What I didn't mention was that people don't think when they are planning their wedding, whether their wedding ring will be cool enough for being on stage, and certainly they don't...
