Smith/Harris generic 1. Could've been great. 3/10.

Aces low. 3/10.

I don't want to be negative, it's Maiden after all and like it, but it not blowing me away. They're definitely in their 'space' era after TFF, and an empty vessel, a 'space', does fit. Harris' absence too. It doesn't seem to have its own identity, except for Empire maybe but, aside from the...

It occurred to me that all previous 15 studio albums were distinctly different from each other, where BOS GOES OUT OF IT'S WAY to mimic them, with Bruce's solo stuff thrown in too. Is the album meant to be an empty vessel containing the lifeblood of the older work? A book of souls? Reflected in...

It's mixed with vocal and guitar almost bang next to each other in the centre and they clash, painfully. I don't know about Wild Wind but I enjoy that.

They can do stuff like this in their sleep. I don't 'hate' the track, but it's extremely lackluster. After 5 years, it's lazy. And don't you keep thinking, "They've done this before, but better?", cos I do.

No. :(

Straight-forward rocker with a sticky chorus, interesting middle but no solos. 6/10.

What the fuck is Steve doing to that bass? 4/10 for the comedy.

This is my number2. Good ol'Davey comes up trumps with some good sounds, but he's done better. 7/10.

Is it over yet? 1/10

Ill-disciplined probably due to Harris' absence, physically, mentally and emotionally. I've got it 14th, above the Blaze albums, but at least they were original, so it could fall.

My favourite. A punky edge. Good but no El Dorado, and the solos sound rough. 7/10.

Gas-bag farts, crashes and burns. Sloooowwwly. 3/10.

It used to be my 3rd to last favourite. Now it is 4th to last favourite. And Sign of the Cross is having a word._

I'm having similar thoughts. Played the vinyl, which is silent, flat and tracks beautifully btw, and the guitars occasionally jumped out and stabbed my ears then went all quiet. So I put the cd on and was better, though not 100%. I preferred Frontier, far more adventurous. Empire doesn't seem...

You've got to accept imperfection if you go vinyl but, for me, it's a much richer experience. The physicality of it, watching it rotate(a bit like your dad watching the first microwave ovens), the large sleeve. It's annoying that they often don't include pics and info that are present with the...

Most records I get are over graded. They're always described Mint or Near Mint but rarely are in reality. I haven't bought second-hand IM stuff though. I imagine the problem is heightened in their case as it's a strong collector market. I get alot of my stuff through discogs which, I think, has...

search Iron Maiden Skol Rock 1998. It's from Brazil.

My favourite solo by him is the outro to Wild Wind - very Richie Blackmore. I was watching a pro - shot vid on YT of the VX1 tour, done for TV I think. Steve, Dave and Nicko are on fire, really good, and proving that those songs can be strong but Janick's playing is, err, messy and Blaze is out...
