I was at the Hammersmith show -see pic <- I'd just bought Killers in the preceding November and went without knowledge of the debut as well. I knew Run but wasn't a fan as it was very commercial. The show had an electric atmosphere and I swore to keep seeing them, which I did throughout the...

Only two album closers are sans-Harris, VXI and BOS, and I think they're the worst.

I played both these two today and DOD was better than I remembered. AMOLAD is heavier though, has greater highs but deeper lows. Some songs are a drag whereas DOD is more upbeat but lightweight. Like them both about the same.

Agreed, and a shame really as the instrumental bit is cooking. TRATB feels disjointed to me. However, Wild Wind is one of my Harris favorites. Big emotional parts.

Yeah, I was impressed with its expansive scope compared with the usual stuff. Disappointed with the fans' ranking of it. I've been replaying them all recently. BNW has no bad tracks. AMOLAD has great drums and some huge songs but gets bogged down with repetition. DOD has a few great ones but is...

TFF BNW AMOLAD DOD BOS - songs better on Live Chapter but still generic

I have a system to choose my favorite bands. I've got to be able to sit through any studio album comfortably without skipping tracks. Being in my late 50's life really is too short for this, but it would be easily achieved for; Bolan/T.Rex/Tyrannosaurus Rex - 12 albums - '77 RIP Motorhead - 23...

The most striking aspect to the cover art for me is that it has a red logo, albeit all metal and scarred. This is only the seventh studio album to have a red logo, the previous six representing the six current band members(if you squint you'll even see a resemblance!): Iron Maiden - Dave...

I was wanting the box set until I saw its lack of contents. The actual box is the only item of interest for me so I'll skip it.

The high vinyl prices may have something to do with the shortage of pressing plant facilities at the moment. This could have added to the delay in release also. I bought the red vinyl from EMP with free postage. The official site, with additional postage was a little bit cheaper but the deal was...

Oh, I had a few. :) I used to be a bit naughty/contro for fun. I often think of joining the FC just for the board but I suspect it'll be very docile and conformative nowadays, not that I have any intention to revive old habits, just curious.

Red vinyl at EMP. Not cheap at 65 quid.

I was on the official bb around 2000/BNW release, but left after DOD. Anyone have any comments on the state of that board now? Cheers.

I was here when it was released and everyone was fawning over what I thought to be a total borefest. I gave it another listen tonight and, whilst it has some interesting moments, my opinion hasn't changed. Highlight was Murray's song. Unfortunately he's not got involved this time. I've always...

I ordered Beneath the Remains from my local record shop on 31-5-90 for 6.29ukp. It still has the sticker attached. I stayed with them until Against, which I absolutely hated. Saw them support Motorhead in 2004 where there played mostly classics which was great, but no new sales. 2017's release...

Looks like a typical Foo Fighters gig to me.

Like this alot. Better than anything from BOS.

Colours is my favorite. You can really feel the soul of the band in its 'band of brothers' vibe, and to me that's Maiden's strongest feature. Lord second and Breeg third.

I haven't listened to Maiden in a long while. Put on TFF and loved every minute(okay, the intro is overlong and Bruce's overdubs on the title track are occasionally weird). It's seriously vying for top three status in my Maiden album list. So I decided to give TBOS another chance. Nope, still a...

Well that won't work. TFF is possibly my favorite Maiden album right now and TBOS is never likely to be played again.
