Basically a lock for the new album.

Even though I didn’t like the single I am hyped beyond belief, as usual, nothing hypes me like a new Maiden album does.

Wow we sure remember different reactions about what happened when wasted years was released.

I am not from the U.S.

They tried to approach the hard rock sound with NPFTD , with disastrous results. It is well documented how disappointed they were with 7th son’s failure in the U.S. Up until NPFTD Maiden with Dickinson had a certain style, yes their albums were different but they all had the same principles...

I’d say it is between Powerslave and Piece of Mind.

Powerslave wasn’t an instant success they got the success with extensive touring. Even now most American fans mention Powerslave when talking about best Maiden album. SIT, after world slavery tour, did 2.5 million copies and 7th son plummeted to 500k. People that say sales don’t matter are...

Did you even read the article you posted ? These are soundscan era numbers, sales post 1991, no wonder FOTD is higher. Anyway I am old enough to have been a Maiden fan during the Powerslave era and let me tell that was the peak of the Maiden craze, it was the closest they got to crack the U.S...

Each new Maiden post-reunion album has been debuting at higher numbers than the previous one, TBOS did piece of mind numbers in the U.K in its first week (60k+) and was their best debut in the U.S since 1992. If TBOS can do 75 k first week in the U.S I am positive that a powerslave2 (which means...

I won’t convince you about how much better a powerslave2 would have done, and it is speculation anyway, so there is no point to further continue this discussion. TBOS was their effort to write a classic-sounding Maiden album, after the lukewarm reception of TFF, anyway and I believe that it was...

A Powerslave 2 would sell like crazy nowadays, don’t kid yourself about whether it would be relevant or not. Just look at how much better Firepower did compared to any other post-painkiller Judas Priest album. Now multiply that by 1000 and you have what a Powerslave 2 could achieve. It would...

I don’t know what it means, ask the people that constantly bring this theory about a Powerslave2 to make excuses for how the new song sounds.

The problem isn’t really that they don’t release a «Powerslave 2», though people here would loose their minds by joy if they had managed to do something like that, the problem is that the new song is awful. Using the age excuse is insulting for the band actually, I won’t mention any other big...

Book of souls is a fantastic album.

You can have great metal with Maiden elements without sounding like this...thing that Maiden unleashed upon us yesterday.

Different world wasn’t the first taste of AMOLAD, TROBB was and it murders this new song. DW is also better than this new song anyway.

No this is not the point. The chemical wedding doesn’t sound like old Maiden and it is awesome , this is simply bad.

Of course, there is no comparison. IESF is fantastic.

With this I can agree. It is the best sound they had since 7th son. Too bad because TBOS deserved a much better sound.

No a Maiden firepower would be Piece of Mind (or Powerslave) 2, not NPFTD 2. Anyway, I think I am out, if people want to listen western and country riffs in Maiden songs more power to them, I mean some folks love stuff like weekend warrior and Bring your daughter. I like heavy metal and dark...
