Yeah during the bridge ("tell me whaaaaat") it does shift to be uplifting, and also during the chorus. I should have been more specific - the opening riff with the augmented fifth sounds dark.

Then again it could just be that they've resolved whatever legal issues that were preventing them putting it up. It would also make more sense to only release the content on streaming services once it had actually been Reissued, not before.

It would make sense if it were and I really hope it's the case. It's very strange that BoH in particular was passed over for a Reissue. Could they go back and do a nostalgia tour supporting it? It would be out of keeping with the chronological order in which they've done nostalgia tours thus...

Re: AMOLAD - I don't get why people don't like Different World. I think it's a great track. Dramatic and dark and sets the scene. Great chorus too. The music video is a bit goofy so maybe that puts people off? I've just been relistening to AMOLAD and I forgot how great the last two songs are. I...

Did you forget "Virus"? I see you've mentioned other tracks on the single but not the track itself. It always suprised me that Virus didn't make it on to an album and was never played live. It's great. Blaze plays it live regularly and it works brilliantly.

When I first got into Maiden AMOLAD was the most recent album. I think you're absolutely right @Mosh that the committment to and belief in the new music made Maiden relevant to younger fans. I didn't feel as though I had "missed the boat" by not being around in the 80s. Maiden were still doing...

A polite reminder that it is perfectly possible to be a huge Iron Maiden fan, including their post 1999 material, *and* to think that Bruce's vocals are a little too low in the mix on this track. When you truly love something you can admit its flaws.

Really looking forward to reading your thoughts on AMOLAD and Final Frontier!

I am not.

This is a great song. Really varied. Doesn't feel like Maiden-by-numbers at all. Goes to quite a few different places. However, the vocal mixing is bizarre. Bruce is really low in the mix. I haven't a clue what he's saying at the bridge or chorus! Quite disappointing, mars an otherwise very...

Is it just me or is Bruce really low in the mix? I can't hear him a lot of the time.

Why is Bruce so low in the mix?!

I considered, very briefly, not listening to this and just waiting for the new album and listening to all of it in one go. But there's just no way I can ignor a new Iron Maiden single.

Personally I think that Eddie looks really cool!

I'm a priest in training and I wouldn't say that at all!

Adrian's face at 6:00 in this gets me every time. Must have been savagely hungover.

Money from a new album comes from 1) sales of the album 2) the tour in support of the album Income from (1) has been in steady decline for decades, so the main source of income when a band releases a new qlbum now is the tour. If you merge two album tours together instead of doing two separate...

I think there's something in this. #17 was finished in 2019. If they were in the studio in 2020 that could have been to work on Nights of the Dead, but if Bruce is writing new material (and I accept that that might nkt actually be the case) that can only be for IM#18. They might have decided...

Tracks 3, 5 and 7 don't have a Harris writing credit.
