    THE OPETH REFERENDUM MMXXI: Results -> Blackwater Park wins again!

    Just voted. I think Bleak can be saved if we get another voter and if they don't vote for it.

    THE OPETH REFERENDUM MMXXI: Results -> Blackwater Park wins again!

    I need to relisten to MAYH first before I can vote here, so it might be a day or two until I post my votes.

    Sabaton

    ...so, what you're saying is that Sabaton is Swedish Dragonforce with even more cheese factor and less incessant tempos?

    GAMES DISCUSSION - submissions welcome!

    So, when will we have the new DT referendum? It's been almost five years since the last one (which is definitely one of the best threads on Maidenfans as a whole) and there's been two new albums in that time. Or a Rush referendum.

    THE OPETH REFERENDUM MMXXI: Results -> Blackwater Park wins again!

    Finally decided to vote in this game. And I'm voting for: The Baying of the Hounds - Tough competition. The Grand Conjuration - Don't really get the appeal for this one. Death Whispered a Lullaby Ending Credits Wreath - Clearly the weakest song in the poll. For Absent Friends - Interlude so it...

    The Thin Line Between Love and Hate

    7/10 Very good closer! I don't have that much to say here really, except to applaud Murray again. His lead work here is superb and drives the entire piece, although Bruce has some truly epic wailing lines throughout. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that hilarious ending blooper they smartly...

    Out of the Silent Planet

    7/10 It's certainly not perfect - too much repetition for that, but this song really cooks when it gets going near the end. Also the verses are fierce and powerful, in addition to having particularly inspired lyrics. Just a solid song on the whole. The breakdown after the second chorus is a...

    The Nomad

    2/10 Quite dislike this one. The fact that the only part worth its salt here is stolen says a lot about its overall quality. I find the chorus amazingly stupid.

    The Fallen Angel

    6/10 Good rocker! While it sadly kinda fades in my memory more often than not, it's clearly at the top of the game when it comes to that category of Maiden songs. It's a pure blast when it's on. I feel sorry for not being able to like it more, but that's the unfortunate thing about opinions and...

    Dream of Mirrors

    10/10 The spiritual successor to Infinite Dreams. Like that song, this one is simply perfect Maiden. It's also the first real Gers/Harris epic and man, it's still my favourite of them. Stupendous chorus - one for the ages.

    The Mercenary

    5/10 Well, the album had to run out of steam eventually. Still, that doesn't mean this song is bad. I like it, but it's not on the caliber of several other similar Maiden songs. The call-and-response nature of the chorus is neat but it's a bit overdone. All in all, you could do a lot worse but...

    Blood Brothers

    10/10 And after that, the album refuses to let itself lose its sheer consistency. In the Maiden canon, BNW's first chunk is practically unmatched. This song then is absolutely powerful and truly dynamic. Some of the strongest verses and one of the strongest bridges in all of their career can be...

    Brave New World

    7/10 Wait, a one-two-three punch?! Damn right it is. While this song suffers from some infamous repetition that has been memed to hell and back on this server, the song itself is strong and memorable because of that repetition. And also that main riff. This is the first of Murray's credits on...

    Ghost of the Navigator

    10/10 Best song on the album. More than any other song on the album, this song demonstrates how much better BNW's production was over its predecessors. And beyond that, this is just an amazing song with fantastic pacing. This is perfect reunion-era Maiden - it's adventurous and takes you away...

    The Wicker Man

    7/10 This is a song that had more ludicrous expectation and pressure upon it than literally any other Iron Maiden song ever. And for it to more or less live up to that hype is worth a 10 on its own. No, I don't think the song itself is a 10, since I'm not giving out ratings based on importance...
