    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    Of course you make you own collections and playlists! Espically nowadays when you don't have to record them on casette or burn a cd I make a lot of temporary lists, putting the songs in different order (listening to a record bakwards often brings a new light to some songs) mixing different...

    The Book Of Souls sounds so much better on vinyl (Videos)

    I have a record from a Swedish underground artist with that solution, I think it's a great idea.

    How can't you hear the bass? It's right there where it always is? *confused*

    Death Or Glory

    I just love the shuffle feel on this, can't remember if they've done that before? running free I guess, but is there other songs that slips my mind? This was one of the songs I anticipated the least because of the title, thinking it would be another military bravado song, but it turned out to...

    The Book Of Souls sounds so much better on vinyl (Videos)

    Bought both and ripped the cd right away, and I think it works really well when walking to work and such, wouldn't appriciate the difference under the circumstances anyway. But sitting at home with some good equipment, it's very nice to have the vinyl instead. I think they did a good job with...

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    I'm still processing the album but want to throw out something I felt since the first time I heard it: I really think that book of souls and the red and the black should change place in the running order. And also that the first heavy riff in book of souls is one of the best they have ever done...

    Can we all please rate The Book Of Souls as one complete album? Not 2 separte discs.

    2 songs on each side (except the last one, of course) same running order as the other versions.

    Virtual XI appreciation

    I really like the material on it, repetitions and all! It's just the sound and the drumming that turns me off. I always thought it was a shame that Blaze was the singer for two albums with flaws that had nothing to do with him.

    Can we all please rate The Book Of Souls as one complete album? Not 2 separte discs.

    Some double records are meant to be viewed as two seperate units, for example one with calm songs and one with heavy, or one studio and one live etc. but this really feels just like one record that's to big for one disc and I can't see the point in thinking about it like separate records (in...

    #1 Record? Did you do your duty?

    Vinyl and deluxe! And my primary lover is away so...best maiden-weekend ever, putting on the vinyl for the first time not knowing what to excpect (well, I actually listened two times on the single, but that's all) with a cup of nice tea and just letting the music flow. Expectation and ritual...

    A walk through history

    I'd love to, but I'm on vacation now and don't have unlimited listening-time at home either. But I might do a shorter version and catch up with you, maybe write a short right now review for every record, starting next week. I hope you'll post something about your experiences here!

    Fastest Maiden song ever!?

    I wouldn't count "double time playing" as double tempo though

    New posters! Who are you?

    Thought I'd reintroduce myself: my name is Tobias, 37 year old pharmacist from Gotland, Sweden. Started listening to my brothers maiden records mid 80's and the second record I bought was Seventh son about a year after its release. I've been hanging around here a long time but didn't make an...

    What are your favourite nineties albums and why?

    My vote goes for x factor as well, with no prayer as a second, virtual xi and fear ad the last one. They all have their good moments and they all have a bad production, but in different ways. Or actually, no prayer doesn't, I'm perfectly ok with the sound of that one! I dont like the drum sound...

    What's your favourite post-reunion album and why?

    If you removed age oF innocence and new frontier, cut the chorus a bit on gates of tomorrow and changed the running order a bit then dance of death would be an awesome record. For now it just doesn't sit well with me, even if it has many truly amazing moments. edit: and toned down that brutal...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    I think it has something to do with him finally being able to tone down his need for control, letting the other instruments take more space and keeping in the background, doing more arrengments than bringing in his own ideas, not being head honcho in the studio etc. Like he's stepping down a...
