Don't forget the arabesque sound in The Pilgrim, after the chorus.

I know for sure that Nicko tends to play faster and to speed up the tempo when he's tired, especially towards the end of the gigs.

DOG might end in the good songs section, at the worst. It's not a masterpiece, but imho it has stood the test of time. It doesn't lack energy and power. I think TGU, TMOS, SOL, SOTV and WTRRD are quite forgettable. Between these 5, I think TMOS is definitely the less consistent, with TGU as a...

To me, the only one album not coherent overall is TBOS. 2 masterpiece tracks (title-track, IESF), 2 great songs (EOTC, DOG) a good song as for the verses and bridges and a masterpiece for the instrumental section (TRATB.), a good song (TOAC). The rest, to me, are 5 average/under-Maiden-standards...

Your thoughts about the chance of having 'Stratego' released by the next 20-25 days?

"Fun" fact: Both TBOS and Senjutsu have got 3 tracks over a lenght of 10 minutes. No past album ever had this statistic. And now two albums in a row. 6 songs over 10 minutes, out of the last 21.

Same exact ranking! TFF :wub:

I think we could be blown away by that title-track/opener, too! Also, the sample we hear from the album teaser is probably a bit of that track (maybe the intro sounds/atmosphere)...?

The verses and the bridge are vocally SO intense. And not to mention Adrian's solo. Possibly my favourite guitar solo of the album, and one of my top 5 solos of the whole new era. There's a lot of Hendrix, in there. And I've been getting the chills for 11 years, now. Every listen blows me away...

If the rumours about 'Stratego' as next single turned out to be true, I still don't think it's very likely to get the track before album release. Having said that, TFF had two tracks released (1 and a half, to be fair) previously to the album release, so who knows...

According to Amazon Italia, this is how the 10 tracks are split into the 2 CDs. 1-6 in CD1. 7-10 in CD2. Makes sense, lenghtwise.

Some thoughts: I honestly think this is the most impressive and strong-impact album cover since FOTD / TXF. Straight to the point. TBOS was, too, but in a different way. This Eddie is friggin' perfect. I feared something "too cartoonish and videogamish" might have come along, after the...

As foreseen by yours truly in this forum weeks and weeks ago, the longest track on the new album doesn't exceed the 13 minutes. I'm so hyped for this. That Eddie is so savage... One of the best Maiden album covers of all times. Maiden always take a step forward. Another black blackground with...

JIZZ EVERYWHERE. DO YOU REMEMBER? SEPTEMBER 3RD. MARK WILKINSON. TOLD YOU SOOOO!

That's not relevant. By then he will be able to talk about it cause the world wil already know album details, but that doesn't mean they'll announce it just right before his book shows! I think we'll know in 2 hours time! This evening, at the worst. But this must be the day.

I'd put a thousand signatures on something like that. New Maiden records is the best gift possible, always.

My prediction: • Album gets announced today around 2 pm UK time. • Every detail gets revealed: album cover, tracklist, release date, full article on their site, link to the pre-orders. Even first press interviews with Bruce / Steve / Adrian (?) could start to be released on YouTube, in channels...

It's almost sure we're going to have the Samurai one...

MOTHER OF MERCY GUITAR SOLO would like to have a little talk with you :bigsmile: But yes, this solo is magic.

Can't get enough of this dreamy song. Smith/Dickinson: what a masterful combo! Have a good day, you all... And, btw... Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? :wub:
