My guesses are: Senjetsu Stratego The Writing on the Wall The Time Machine Darkest Hour Hell on Earth What would be seriously cool is if Hell on Earth ends the encores. That's such a powerful song that it would leave audiences breathless as they leave the arena/concert hall. Of course, that's...

2021 final statistics for the album: Different World - 6/10 These Colours Don't Run - 6/10 Brighter Than a Thousand Suns - 10/10 The Pilgrim - 4/10 The Longest Day - 7/10 Out of the Shadows - 5/10 The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg - 7/10 For the Greater Good of God - 8/10 Lord of Light - 6/10...

8/10 This gives me strong Genesis vibes. The first two minutes feel like a deliberate sendup of The Musical Box, naturally serving as an affectionate tribute in that regard. When the song gets going, it's not quite as strong from the getgo, but when the song hits that second half, the song...

6/10 Out of the forgettable trio on the album, this is definitely the strongest. Not enough to go beyond a 6, but this song is a blast when it's on. The intro is quite creepy all due to the echo flanger effect put on Bruce's voice, causing it to immediately stick more in my head than The...

8/10 Strong song. The repetition works because it goes in tandem with the song and its subject matter. It's only fair for Steve to beat this criticism of religion into our heads the same way religion beats its statements into us. That ending suggests the criticism fell on deaf ears, which is a...

7/10 That riff that comes in at the two-minute mark is crushing. Why on earth the song just doesn't end at 7:04 is beyond me. Something tells me they meant to do more with the useless reprise of the intro verse part but forgot to cut it out once they realized they didn't need it. I could play...

5/10 Eh? This song exists? Sure it does, but don't ask me to remember it. Would likely skip if it came up on shuffle, although it's not a bad song whatsoever. Suppose that means it never really went out of the shadows? ...too easy?

7/10 The stock appraisal of this song goes as follows; amazing up until that first chorus and then the song loses its bite in one fell swoop. And well, there was a reason that became the common stance to take. That instrumental section is definitely a knockout, though. Some of Maiden's most...

4/10 There's nothing particularly wrong about this song, but well...there's nothing particularly worth caring for here either. The song might as well disappear into the void and I can't say I would miss it much. That's a bit harsh, I know. I went back and forth whether I should give it a 4 or a...

10/10 A crowning achievement for the band. This is a ferocious, stomping piece that lives up to the harrowing subject matter and then some. Is this the heaviest song in the catalogue like mckindog proposed above? Hmm, certainly top 3 in that field. I once listened to this song while watching...

6/10 That chorus ruins the momentum of the song completely. There's a slinky sense of desperation to the song otherwise, something even more pronounced with that synth-backed instrumental part before and after each solo. Overall, the instrumental section is the high point of the song but the...

6/10 Decent song, although it's merely another textbook opening short rocker. It does its job well but generally in the sphere of the album, I would say these kinds of songs sorta fade away since they're not very related to the album's core. The idea of having Mars, the Bringer of War lead into...

It's much better than some of the prices I've seen for boxsets. Granted, I'll be getting a duplicate booklet but that has already been taken care of and I'll get the missing booklet some time after.

I'm on The Time Machine right now and this is probably my favourite so far? Really good pacing.

Pleasantly surprised by LaBrie's vocals. He's definitely trying to stay more in his current range, which is absolutely a good thing.

Apparently the album is being sent out by EMP on...September 3rd. So I won't be getting the album until a few days after the release. Hmm...that's a weird thing to do, if you ask me.

Would this be the album opener? I'm curious if they would have this song be that...

Yeah, the thing that struck me about this was that the production is noticeably better than on The Book of Souls.

OH THAT EDDIE?
