Infinite Dreams, Blood Brothers(not very fond of anyway regardless of song basis) nor Still Life were written after or written specifically about Steve Harris divorce. Please!
Wildest dreams lyrically is a steaming pile of cow dung & we all know it. I know Blood Brothers is about his fathers...
Not a huge fan of Rainmaker either & Wildest Dreams is a joke. Not only should it not have been an opener, it wasn't even worthy of being a b side.
I don't want to hear songs about Steve Harris personal life struggles & triumphs in songs. Self indulgence at it's worst.
SOL isn't lame, nor is...
First song I heard was Aces High when I was 10. First show in 87 & been to 20 total.
I didn't like SOL at first listen but, sounds quite good after a few.
I'd prefer they go different avenues. Those first 7 albums, while exceptional, have been done. As a musician myself, I cannot stand to...
Cancelling a preorder over a single, when typically, especially of late, Maiden singles are not indicative of the rest of the album or the strength of it. And all the reviews see SOL as not on the same level as the rest of the album. Way to jump the gun LOL
If you want 80's rehashed to death...
OK, Chorus is great. One of the better ones since 7th son.
Intro is odd hearing maiden going this route, especially the cow bell.
It's more of a heavy rock n roll tune as opposed to metal which is OK
Bruce sounds very good. God bless him!
I hear Sanctuary all over the heavy riff under the verse...
Someone will post it like they did the original kerrang edition with Steve. Plus by 9/2, with any luck, you will have written your own review. You won't need to read someone elses anymore.
I know but the wait is absolutely killer. 5 years is too long to wait. To be honest, I haven't been this excited for a Maiden album since BNW. Don't know what it is. The long wait, bruces cancer diagnosis, all the press ramp up over the last couple days, single coming out, the snippet....It's...
with multiple reviews out now, anyone of them could leak the album & not risk losing their credentials or risk their job. So long as enough people have heard it, it's time to leak it. I've already got 2 on order so letting me hear it wouldnt jeopardize a sale. Come on people!
I don't mind a couple of repeat choruses out of 11 songs. The last album had very few repeat choruses. And if they work like some older songs, who cares? It is part of their formula. So far, the only songs not thrilled about hearing are Man of Sorrows & Death or glory based on reviews. Maiden...
I translated the French album review & I did not see all the talk of repeat choruses. I did read that Speed of Light does have the repeats & that Death or Glory chorus is the big disappointment of the album. Basically says it's a note for not copy of new frontier. Unless my translator was not...
They don't set out to write long songs or short songs, they happen. Obviously. But, back in the day, they knew they couldn't afford longer material in droves like today. Media space did not allow. This is simply fact. Just look at their albums & the increasing song lengths of each album in...
I think the cover is excellent. I don't think Death or Glory is cheesy. Tears of a clown is utter cheese & I'm pretty sure they could have done better. Having said that...
Everyone is concerned about long outros or intros. When the wild wind blows is a long song & the intros & outros were...
