    There's a version that's 4 minutes shorter, although I'm not familiar with what was removed from the original version :P

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    Agreed on all counts. Especially that the middle third is hardest to rank. That's so true. Thanks! I have now outlived Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrisson, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain - otherwise known as "The 27 Club" :p Now let's see if I can outlive Bob Hope and George Burns. LOL. I...

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    If you haven't found any insight into my taste or any of the sort of explanation or you're looking for in roughly 10,000 words covering 40 songs and 4 albums, then it's either your expectations and my brief write-ups are totally conflicting or you just haven't been reading enough.

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    How is the review too objective and what kind of point of view is personal enough to satisfy what you're looking for? I've expressed a lot regarding my taste since the beginning of the thread. The mere fact that you felt the need to point out the necessity for an explanation - even just for...

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    Music appreciation is not a science, it's certainly not objective and can't always be described concretely. Expecting reason to factor in every review I think is unreasonable. There are some things that can be well articulated and there are some things that cannot. Either way, I can't see how...

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    The ranking doesn't necessarily mean that it's negative. It just means it's not as positive as the albums ranked higher. It's not contradictory. Content is totally different from execution. Again, it's all in the last paragraph complete with an analogy. I don't mention songs in the album...

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    I would have to agree that the review content and placing don't seem to match. That's just how it is though. It's a well-put-together album of mostly uninteresting material, which is what the last paragraph of the review tries to express :p

    NOW WATCHING

    I haven't talked about Inception in a while after talking about it so much when I first saw it. But I'll take a crack at this... Anyway, I loved the film. Possibly my favorite film of all-time. So layered and filled with originality and intellect and things that people can discuss for years...
