    TBOS Predictions

    The three songs that you mentioned as not being repetitive deserve to be on the list more than any other songs in the post reunion. Out of the Shadows has 2 verses and repeats the chorus 5 times. Take a look at Rainmaker And The Mercenary

    The Longest Day

    I feel the same way as you Eddieson. The chorus is such a tonal shift, and it really pulls you away from the imagery of the the gloomy verses. Plus it's repetitive in a way I can't get behind. But imagine this: 4 Verses Pre-Chorus 4 Verses Pre-Chorus Solos and Bridge Then at the end, just...

    TBOS Predictions

    Totally agree. Sticking with just the post reunion albums, I would divide it like this: Good Wicker Man Brave New World (my favourite chorus by far) Dream of Mirrors Out of the Silent Planet Brighter than a Thousand Sons For the Greater Good of God Bad Blood Brothers The Mercenary...

    TBOS Predictions

    I agree, And at it's most basic, these albums really do line up well, at least for me. Number of the Beast - Brave New World Both are straight forward albums that creates a foundation for the following few albums. They also each contain two 10/10 songs. Piece of Mind - Dance of Death I enjoy...

    Except, the song is about an airship crash.

    Oh, I get that, I thought you meant on one of those Bruce Air trips. I was imagining all sorts of bad plane scenarios, all of which included bad food, and some sort of knife fight between you and an other fan over the song structure of post reunion Maiden.

    Sounds like there's a story there..

    Does that mean Bruce is at home right now practicing on his piano? Because, I really want to see his Revelations (Live After Death) face. You know, the scrunched up full of concentration while trying to play guitar face. If we get that this tour, but while he's sitting at a piano, well that...

    What he did on the Talisman was amazing. He took a nine minute song, which by Maiden standards would have two/three blazing solos on it, and played something completely different and unique that fit the song wonderfully. I wouldn't even call it a solo. It's a chance to catch our breath, before...

    I was with you for the whole first half of that post. Like 100% with you. Was yelling "Preach it brother." But then you had to go and bring up Jan.. Now let me tell you something, that man can solo! You said resent, so I say take another look at his solo in the Alchemist.

    Way to be positive.. Next time be cool like us, and just assume the worst. In all seriousness, I hope you're right. Maiden has had some amazing choruses, but there are also some that don't work out as well, No More Lies, The Longest Day and The Mercenary being three examples. Those songs...

    I'm all for a Maiden Musical, and if that's what Empire of the Cloud is, well that's cool. As long as there is flair, confetti canons, and at least six solos. He is, and he is doing it very diplomatically. Because, conspiracy!

    I'll go back and like yours GK, then you can feel appreciated as well.:applause: Man, this is the second time he's talked about Steve adding choruses throughout TBOS (song) when there was originally only one chorus. I'm even more worried then before. I also can't help but think that the fact...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    That's not as unpopular as you might think. Take a look: http://forum.maidenfans.com/threads/what-are-your-favourite-nineties-albums-and-why.31765/ Me saying Virtual XI is the best of the 90s? Now that's unpopular. But I stand by it.

    TBOS Predictions

    Somewhere in Life, If the album is as good as your predictions, I'll be stoked. But at the end of the day, I'll be happy if there are three classics on this album. I'm an easy guy to please in that regard. If there are three songs I truly love. Well, that's enough for me. And so far, none of the...

    I don't know about you, but the middle 10 minutes of Empire of the Clouds, should be nothing but bird noises, with the occasional whale thrown in for good measure. I mean how great would that be? We'd be going, "What the hell?" And they'd be having a laugh.

    The Alchemist

    I dislike this song for the same reasons I dislike El Dorado, and The Man Who Would Be King. The Vocal Melody. In this song it's a none stop bombardment, and it's exhausting. It drowns out some great music, and that's a shame. And as others have mentioned. Janick's solo is the best on the album.

    Having listened to those 27 seconds over twenty times now, I'm: Excited about the production. Cringe a little, because that guitar melody sounds like it's coming right out of a late 90's car racing video game. It just seems cheesy to me. But that's only 27 seconds out of 92 minutes, and I'm...
