    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    I brought up Aces High/Blade as my motivation to play guitar which I've done for the last 25 or so years. And yes, 91-92 is when they stopped the really impressive guitar work and switched over to the chord ensemble we've heard since that time Janick joined. 80's bands have survived & still...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    I'm not complaining, far from it. Age really shouldn't have anything to do with it though. It doesn't for other bands. They stopped doing it a long time ago(mid 90's), when they were still relatively young(early 40). So, I don't think it's an unfair comparison. Listen to the 5:49 mark in TBOS...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    As they've gotten older, the pace of their music has eroded. Especially the guitar playing. And to me, it's at the point now where, anything slower than what they are doing, it's just not good enough. It's at the point now where another album would be just too slow & boring. For me. That's the...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    I actually like that album a lot funnily enough! As an old school fan since '84 I haven't loved the newer albums as I do the early stuff but, it's crazy to assume a band full of great musicians would want to stay in the same formula album after album. If Maiden had never chosen to change course...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    At first listen, the only track that I really liked was IESF. I was NOT impressed with the rest of the album. Of course, it is such a long album that I waited to post a real review until after a few listens. I've basically spent the weekend with headphones on listening a few times. The album is...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    You're right, I'm not going to change my opinion. Not one note on that album resonates with me what so ever. I'm as big a fan as they come. I just cannot tolerate the sound, the musical style...nothing. And it pains me to say that. Not even Bruce can save it. You can mention a lot of fans but...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Yea, cause the founder isn't going to love everything his band does. Give me a break! LOL It is a very widely held belief that X factor is terrible. There is a reason why he was so offended by the Keranng reviewers & wanted to knock him out. They told the truth.

    To each their own but, ranking that so high essentially, imho, renders ones opinions meaningless

    For me, this equates to zero credibility

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    This is my initial reaction as well. From my very limited listening of this so far, this doesn't sound like a band well into their 50's when they should be declining. They sound very tight & on top of their game almost as if they have something to prove. They seem inspired & you can clearly...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Man, why are you depriving yourself? LOL Sure, you can wait 1 more week but, why do that to yourself? You've ordered it right? Feel no guilt. And the best part of hearing it now is that it will sound a lot better when you get your discs. It's not like you're gonna wear it out in a week & never...

    I went to my car to listen to IESF. I'm stuck at work & refuse to play them back softly at my desk. Suddenly, I feel ill.
