It seems the album has 4 bonus songs: well, 3 versions of the ballad Into The Sun (one with only Andi on vocals, and it's great), one is acoustic - the real bonus song is ''Out Of Control''. With Kai on lead vocals only and I think it is written by Markus. Great job. :ok: How is this a bonus...

And here's a (slightly different) colorful version of it. We can see: some TBOS, DOD, AMOLAD, BNW, TFF, SJ details, Twilight Zone (I think), 22 Acacia Avenue inscription... hmmm. No 90's albums hints, weeelll. it's really curious because these references (or at least the Reunion albums) are not...

No set changes during the recent shows. Bruce only added an extra intro with the theremin for Shadow - which I don't think fits at all. They also celebrated Chris's birthday the other day. Nice.

Cool and very solid drum solo by Dave. More of this in the new album, please. :)

Markus is a good songwriter. Maybe bonus songs again? Generic about Weikath's songs, yes. The album indeed sounds better with headphones. AOR-influenced stuff, but at the same faster power metal than the previous one. Since the 90's, they sometimes combine like AOR sound in some songs. The cover...

Thank you Azas. Great. :ok: We know Bruce likes to have a central figure for a solo cover, and TMP fits that, but such a cover would have been perfectly thematic for the overall theme - pyramids (they were part of the teaser), ancient setting, cosmic figure from Shadow Of The Gods screen art (it...

It's great when you have different and good songwriters in a band. Kai, Andi... Weikath with some and Sascha especially for this album. But with a couple of exceptions, I find Kai's songs best here. It's also different when a guitarist writes all the songs, and someone like Bruce or Steve...

Helloween - Giants & Monsters I really enjoy it, the previous one too, but not to this extent, it's an easier listen. 7 out 10 for me songs is great. Only 2 are much weaker than the others (Tokyo and Moonlight), it's really noticeable. They are really highlighting the melodies here, instead of...

I like that live there are no effects on the main riff and it's heavier.

So, I listened to the new album a few times. I think most fans will like it more than the previous album. It definitely feels more like an 80's/90's album in a way. But it's also like not full-force power metal in parts and style elements. I have no problem with that for their music. I'm not a...

The energy is great in NPFTD, TFF not that much compared with the next album, but you could also say that there were less things to prove after the brilliant run of 7 great albums. I think you're right about TFF (it is different with the next two), but they tried something different with it, so...

Yes. But that was back then, now with a new drummer and their biggest tour is probably different. Let's see if new music is still a priority for them. True, but since they plan a couple of years ahead (confirmed again by Bruce), and if the next tour is a new album tour (will it be in 2027 or...

https://loudwire.com/bruce-dickinson-kurt-sutter-impact-mandrake-project-iron-maiden/ New interview. He might play Cyclops and Navigate, but he's not sure. And I guess now we know the inspiration behind Belshazzar's feast.

Yeah. Seventh Son song with Lado is kind of odd, but not that much for me because Adrian played CIPWM with Lado in '88. A really cool one.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/rob-halford-looks-back-on-judas-priests-turbo-when-that-album-came-out-everybody-wanted-to-throw-it-in-the-bin Rob about Turbo album and days: It's so difficult. My voice, I can belt it out for about an hour and 30, if I'm lucky. And it's a joy to be able to do...

True that. Well, Writing, the title track, Darkest Hour, songs like Days, Stratego, Time Machine and at least 2 of Steve's epics are a bit different and have something fresh in them. Points 1, 3, 4 are valid, but not all were intro the album? Nicko, but you wouldn't tell from his playing. It's...

Definitely. It's such a blast of a song and a highlight. Like Shadow Of The Gods' heavy part and especially the golden chorus (Or Accident's, what an opener). Bruce shines and is in top form, feeling more comfortable with his solo material, the challenging songs are there ofc. Btw, Azas, if you...

Bruce said here - that when they do the Brazil show, they will shoot a couple of videos and continue with the next tour date. Videos? For the new singles, they are ready? He will have the whole 2026 for promotion, release and tour in early 2027. He is also surprised that MBTP is doing well on...

Louder keys are something recent for Maiden on some songs. Sometimes they fit, sometimes not so much. I like keys/keytar for some Bruce songs. Rain and TCW vibe (the chorus is pure solo Bruce), I can hear it... if only the verses had different vocal ideas. I enjoy it a lot, but it will never be...

This is actually true. But I really doubt we will hear Skunkworks-vibes on the new album, despite the guitarists being big fans of the album and the hard rock feel in some TMP songs (Many Doors, Rain, Wounds, Mirror, even some parts from Mistress). Bruce already mentioned really heavy stuff and...
