The Gers-Harris duo strikes again, with yet another incredible epic. Captivating from start to finish, both heavy and uplifting, amazing lyrics and an outstanding vocal performance by Bruce. At this point I’m pretty sure I haven’t been very consistent with my ratings, but I feel like a 10 is...

Very good song from start to finish. Despite being 6 minutes long, it feels very short compared to the rest of the album. The intro sounds to me somewhat like a waterfall, I don’t know why. The chorus is pretty different from usual, yet it works. 8/10

A very, very hard song to rate. The first time I heard it I absolutely loved it and I can still see why, but I just find it very hard not to get distracted while listening to some parts in the middle of the song. I would say the song is amazing up until five minutes in, then it starts lacking...

Great intro, then the song doesn’t take off completely as it could have done. Lyrics are great, but vocals are most likely the worst on the album, even though definitely not as bad as on some songs on the previous album. 7/10

I like their change in style towards more complex music, but it’s still nice to see that they can still put out (and pull off live) a great rocker like this one. From the lyrics to the solos, everything is pretty great. 9/10

After what is probably their most disappointing album not from the 90’s, they came back with a great one, starting from this song, the best intro since The Wicker Man at the very least, and maybe even Moonchild. One of the most surprising things is that the vocal performance is much better than...

It’s pretty clear that this is one of their las tours. The guitarists and Steve don’t seem to have too many problems as of now, but Nicko is old and Bruce’s voice is sometimes a bit sketchy. Realistically there will be maximum another two tours after this one. If this is their last tour and they...

Based on setlists and interviews, I’m pretty sure the band doesn’t care about albums all that much once they’re longer new. So I don’t think we can expect them to consider albums too much when picking the setlist, they’ll just play songs they like and feel like they can play well for the fans...

Holy Smoke

I think this song should remind Steve and Maiden in general that you don’t need extremely complicated music or lyrics to make an epic. Actually, I think the simple yet captivating lyrics are what makes this song great. After countless songs about recurring themes, it’s nice to see a song that...

This song is very hard for me to rate. I enjoy pretty much every part, but the way they’re put together makes it barely a song altogether, especially in the second part. It’s enjoyable, but it still feels like a huge waste. They could have made a couple of good songs out of this material...

After two songs that I don’t enjoy at all, here’s the first epic of this album that I really like. The acoustic intro is spot on, then the song explodes into an awesome verse with a great vocal performance, something unfortunately not that common on this album, and it continues with a very nice...

This song just doesn’t do it for me at all. While there are no parts that are as annoying as on songs like The Assassin, Weekend Warrior, etc., there’s no single part about this song that I genuinely enjoy, and I don’t think it is arranged that well either. I want to respect everyone’s opinion...

After the first chorus, everything is quite weird, and that’s including Bruce’s vocals. What could have been a very good song becomes a strange mix of stuff, with some cool things thrown in there. 5/10

An ok rocker, with some cool riffs. I don’t like the chorus though, it feels quite cheesy. 6/10

Nothing is particularly outstanding about this song apart from Bruce’s singing and the solos, but everything works very well. A solid 8

From what I’ve heard, Bruce’s voice was better in 2017, wasn’t it? Also, I’ve seen better 2016 performances on YouTube than some of the songs on TBOS: LC. Hopefully he’s at his best this year, at least for one last great tour. If he can’t do it anymore, I think he’s smart enough to call it a...

Not the first reunion era song to be let down by the chorus. In this case, though, instead of repetition or lyrics, Bruce’s voice is the real problem. I’ll still give it a 7 because all the rest is very good and I feel like the song could have been much better if recorded in a better moment for...

Much better than The Final Frontier on every aspect. Bruce sounds much better, Steve has one of his most notable performances in the reunion era, the lyrics are very interesting, and the song is much more interesting and enjoyable overall. 9/10

This is an extremely hard song to rate, because it’s so different from everything else. First of all, it’s basically two songs in one, yet they wouldn’t really work without each other. On its own Satellite 15 is just an intro to nothing, and The Final Frontier is just an unremarksble Maiden...
