Yeah, vocal clarity ha been pointed out plenty by a number of people here, on FB and Insta and I agree. He sounds a bit buried in the mix at times and it’s hard to hear the lyrics. Let’s see if the actual album gets any better, but I think this is what we get. The vinyl might sound a tad better...

Note that a lot of people are not that fond of the verse. I quite like it, in fact I think it’s one of the best parts of the song. And then the release of the last part of the chorus - damn good! Shame it only comes once, but good to hear that there’s little to none of repetition.

Regarding hearing lyrics, that’s been an issue since 2006 TBH and I believe it’s more due to the fact that Bruce smears the consonants when singing in the upper register as I’ve said before. A lot of singers do that and especially when they come of age to get to the top register without...

True to some extent. AMOLAD and BNW usually sounds consistent over platforms and systems. The old stuff is cleaner and that might be due to the fact that it’s not a “live” recording and they wanted a cleaner and more polished sound back the. Artistic freedom and so on… :) NPFTD is a bit mushy...

It does sound better than TFF and TBOS to my ears, but might lack a bit of clarity especially in the vocal region. It’s really system sensitive so playing it on a good system lifts it compared to lossy formats through a phone and earbuds.

I said previously that TWOTW probably was mixed a bit softer to fit the song. Given the sound on Stratego, it seems that I was right. If I were to speculate I think the rest of the album will be more in line with Stratego sound wise. I’ve been spinning Stratego about 10 times now and I really...

He absolutely sends it on “surprise” - bloody hell, where did that come from?

The mix really needs good equipment to come to full glory. I’ve played on my phone through Tidal and a pair of Supra earplugs, sounds good, but a little muffled and Bruce is a tad low in the mix. Played through my main rig through Tidal and high res streamer, quality studio monitors and sub -...

Noticed that the rythm guitar during the solo carries a certain similarity to Judas be my guide…

Wow, that was actually really, really good :)

Restraint is not a big trait in here is it? :)

It’s been hard hearing the words since 2006 to some degree. Certain songs are worse than others, but it’s especially difficult when he gets up in the top register. Seems to be smearing the consonants to not bang the vocal cords together, guessing it’s a technical thing he does to hit the high notes.

I wonder if H has gone Primal Rock Rebellion with a Maiden twist on the title track? It’s one of the songs I’m most excited about. And Hell on Earth.

So, my nightmare the other night about Bruce doing a rap in The Parchment turns out to be false. That’s good.

We’re all kids in the beginning, right? :)

New releases usually drops after midnight, but that might be full albums only, I’m clearly not an expert on this :)

If there’s a new single tomorrow I would expect more action from the official channels. They usually do a countdown or teaser before it drops. Would be surprised if it just comes out of the blue at midnight tonight. Any NZ or AUS folks here that can check the streaming platforms? It’s well...

I think I’ll try and not listen if the new song drops. Only about two weeks left and I’ve been waiting six years, think I can make it (but wouldn’t bet my house on it) :)

Award given for best abbreviation ever :)
