Hmm need to check them out then.
The album i am most impressed by and would recommend to all maiden fans is Psycrence: A Frail deception. Just a brilliant album and the vocal sounds a bit like Bruce.
Song I still go back to
Sign of the Cross
Lord of the Flies
Man on the Edge
Judgement of Heaven
Blood on the World's Hands
I could never get used to Blaze and probably never will. To me, this album is still a whole lot better than Virtual XI
I would really like to know from other guitarists on this board that took the time to study and learn all the H solos (2 mins to midnight, Aces high, wicker man, wasted years, paschendale, different world etc) whether they feel the same way.
I felt the solos worked within the song but lacked structure. E.g with the Wicker Man solo there is a clear point A to point B to point C...opening melodic bit followed by a bluesy bit followed by a final flourish of fast notes. When you listen to that you instantly know this was not improvised...
This is what i have always suspected listening to the recent albums that they don't workout and write their solos anymore and just go for it in the studio. It explains the lack of memorable solos (in my opinion). The only exception is the solo in TWOTW which Adrian took the time to write and the...

Stratego for me is in the top 3 favorite short tracks after Wicker man and Rainmaker. I think the short rockers are important because it gives the album a burst of energy and pace to break the monotony of the lumbering epics. Given the length of the songs in this album, both Stratego and Days of...
This song seems to be unlike anything in the maiden catalogue and yet strong enough for maiden to consider it as an album opener and a title track. Super curious about it.
Well I have never been able to receive my cds on the day of release. Shipping always took weeks. So streaming services will have to do until amazon finally delivers :-/
Yeah Talisman definitely qualifies. The gallop feels more epic because of the steady build up to the chorus. I must say I am not a fan of making Bruce sing in such high registers. He sounds incredible in lower registers as evident with Stratego. Give the man a break... Steve lol.
I am not sure exactly when I will get mine delivered (T-shirt and Deluxe Boxset). I ordered the boxset through amazon and t shirt directly through their website. I am guessing shipping to asia will take 1-2 weeks
