    #1 Record? Did you do your duty?

    Yeah got my deluxe version on Thursday . Anyway I actually expect TBOS to sell substantially better than TFF . The hype is much bigger , the vinyl resurrection actually helps bands like IM and IM is not the kind of band that is likely to follow the downtrend of album sales . I expect the U.k...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Good to see members of the extreme metal community , which I respect much more than the European "power" metal trash that some people here like , embracing TBOS . As for EOTC , I think that some people are still confused over it because it is an iron maiden song . Many bands ranging from...

    Got my deluxe version . The , specialized in metal, record store had a ton of copies in huge boxes and when I asked them for one they told me that they may not be able to sell me a copy because they got half of their order and all copies are preordered . The rest were stuck in between customs...

    Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

    Hooks in you, bring your daughter ..., holy smoke , mother Russia , from here to eternity , wasting love , the apparition, weekend warrior , the angel and the gambler , chains of misery , blood brothers . Very few songs that I can't stand in 16 albums and none from the first seven ones . It's...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Never understood the "new album excitement" comments , maybe because i don't have it . I have hated many albums , after the first listening, that i was extremely hyped about . From NPFTD to sacred reich's "the american way " , the list goes on and on and i am not even talking about extreme cases...

    No you are not the only one. In fact I don't get people that DON'T like this song .

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    HAHAHAHA you actually enjoy nightwish , blind guardian , all these sissy european "power" metal bands that ruined the nineties , and you criticise Maiden ? Hilarious . I would understand if you enjoyed extreme metal or something and got over Maiden but....nightwish ??? Anyway i don't understand...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    As a diehard Maiden fan since 1983 and after one listening, the only one until the album comes out , and considering the ammount of music combined with its quality my opinion is that this is the best Iron Maiden album ever . Not much more to say except something about a controversial song ...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    So why didn't maiden offer incentives for TFF ? that didn't exactly get glowing reviews from blabbermouth , the various smaller metal sites that are giving TBOS 10s or terrorizer ( it got a 7) . Oh and st.anger got a ton of shitty reviews before its release, the only good one that I remember is...

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Eeeeeh , how is Benjamin brieg like the rest of the singles or shows influence from rock ? This song is a 100% dark, ominous , heavy metal song and doesn't belong with the rest of the single-type songs .

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    It's funny how some people think that Maiden paid even the smaller sites for good reviews. Why didn't they do that on previous albums ? is it all a conspiracy by every media outlet (magazines, sites) to convince us that TBOS is a great album ? Even the guy in terrorizer (they gave TFF a 7) that...

    Wow , and Blabbermouth hasn't been too kind to post reunion Iron Maiden .

    That it is basically a nice, little song with a very good chorus . He treats it like the worst in the album, but not a bad song overall .

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    You aren't missing anything from the greek article. It basically reports the excitement of the journalist to have this interview, how kind and cool Dickinson is , how tiring the early morning ride with the London subway is , and how great the new album is , without more details .

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Witnessing the x-factor songs played live changed my perception of this album completely . Harris has only himself to blame for his horrible production that buried a great album . Songs like "the aftermath" sounded like juggernauts live

    Whats wrong with NPFTD And FOTD albums?

    Had it been released between killers and TNOTB , it would have buried Maiden .

    Whats wrong with NPFTD And FOTD albums?

    The entire album structure . As for 7th son, at least when it comes to initial sales, it went from the 2.5 million of SIT to 500 k . I have to say that SIT was the album that lost Maiden the chance to become truly mainstream in the U.S but that's another discussion....

    Whats wrong with NPFTD And FOTD albums?

    They have many silly rock songs . I don't consider Smith's composed post reunion rockers to be silly . For me songs like Holy smoke, weekend warrior, from here to eternity, hooks in you, bring your daughter ....e.t.c don't belong in an IM album , they just aren't IM music . The lyrics are also...
