My only problem with the album is the production as the band themselves said so too. Bruce was really mad at the stripped down approach, which in itself was OK, but the way they did it, not so much. An old recording equipment which was outdated even back then. First album which was not really...

Public Enema Number One Fates Warning Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter No Prayer for the Dying Infinite Dreams Only the Good Die Young Deja Vu Wasted Years Powerslave Killers Phantom of the Opera Iron Maiden Die with Your Boots On The Evil Than Men Do

Sorry, just playing around with Spotify setlists ;)

It's time bring out a real Maiden setlist from the era: Public Enema Number One Fates Warning Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter No Prayer for the Dying Infinite Dreams Only the Good Die Young Deja Vu Wasted Years Powerslave Killers Phantom of the Opera Iron Maiden Die with Your Boots On The...

Back on topic, DOD has aged much better to me than say BNW. Even though, it's an inconsistent album in my book as for the songs. Some songs like Age of Innocence, Face in the Sand are simply not interesting enough. While say Montsegur, Rainmaker or the title song are top notch. Out of all the...

I recently ordered t-shirts, never arrived, was stunned that they sent them untracked! These days. I got a refund quickly though.

No joke, I always loved The Apparition on release back in the days! LOL I still regard FOTD as one of their most ambitious album in a strange era. I loved the sound and everything about it.

Speaking of low bitrate and sound issues, there is not one single Maiden release when after someone listens to a leaked version: "hey, the sound is sh..t, this is probably just a low quality release" or "this is a raw mix version, the album version will be much better" (!) then the album is...

Yep. Interviews from the FOTD era (1992), Bruce noted that they were "pariahs" or the "big unwashed" in the US from 1986 onwards. I still have the UK magazine with that interview from the FOTD tour. The US leg of the FOTD tour was much smaller, with half-packed smaller venues, but that was also...

SSOASS is probably the peak of their career. Consistent, visionary, very well produced, actually the best produced album by Martin Birch, absolute top notch with big budget. I would pick this album to showcase, this is Iron Maiden. The second spot is SIT for me, I keep relistening that album...

Until then someone should write a book: "The hardcore fan: how to survive in-between Maiden albums?" Best seller :)

Great as I hear him all over on this record :)

Yep, just listened to it again! :) I checked the credits, it's produced by Smith & Kotzen indeed, maybe Kevin was the sound engineer? I definitely read somewhere they worked with Kevin on this album too.

Different approach by Adrian compared to Steve's British Lion for sure. BL's latest album is quite good actually, focused on songwriting and to my surprise contains songs that actually flow(!). This is what missing to me from recent Maiden. Written by the same guy. Adrian wants to get away from...

I imagine Adrian hearing the mix of Senjutsu for the first time, he is like: "WTF?!" I like the WOTW mix so far, clearly, they added some reverb and not that dry. Smith&Kotzen sounds good to me, it's typical Kevin Shirley without Steve playing around with the knobs.

"Adrian came by The Cave for a listen - he thought the tracks sounded good but "a little too much like the band in the studio". He thought more reverb to make them sound more "majestic" and "epic". Steve disagreed strongly. Honestly, they are both right. The thing I personally like about the...

Yeah, the TFF interviews were like Steve does everything, the others do not really care anyway, Adrian is unhappy about the sound as usual but he is wrong, it's Steve's band at the end of the day, and Kevin does what Steve tells him to do. Bruce can add his own ideas so that he does not leave...

I thought the same, good marketing choice :)

Only complaints are accepted LOL

Riggs really went downhill, his work from the 90s onward are really bad to say the least. I think he did not care for Maiden anymore due to the abuse he got from them (according to him). Except the DOD cover, Maiden artwork has been OK with me, I liked the change for AMOLAD a lot, I would have...
