    IRON MAIDEN ALBUM SURVIVOR 2023: Results -> Somewhere In Time wins!

    I rank Dance of Death somewhere between #3-#5 on the list of the bands best. A shame to see it gone so soon. AMOLAD is my vote.

    The Running thread

    This is how I always check it, for simplicity and because I am nowhere near the level where the accuracy would matter. I started on 35 back in July, but am currently on 41. This has been the case for around a month now - it hasn't increased since because I've dropped volume due to a sore/tight...

    Dream Theater

    If it helps contextualise things I absolutely cannot stand any of the songs from the 12 step suite.

    Dream Theater

    I'm sure my top 5 is controversial: 1 - The Astonishing 2 - Metropolis Pt II 3 - Dream Theater 4 - A Dramatic Turn Of Events 5 - Train Of Thought

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    I didn't think I'd vote for Slayer in any of these rounds, but then Sepultura happened. Battle Cry is one of my favourite modern songs from one of my favourite bands. The Grand Magus song is very good though, and I'll be listening to it again. I like a lot of Nightwish, but not their earlier...

    IRON MAIDEN ALBUM SURVIVOR 2023: Results -> Somewhere In Time wins!

    The X Factor is the worst Maiden album, and it's not even remotely close. I can't believe it took us this long to get rid of it. I'll vote AMOLAD next as it's my least favourite of the ones remaining.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    I hadn't heard Limelight before today, but I really enjoyed this one. I like what I've heard of Rush before, but sometimes I find their singer a little much and I found this song suited them a lot more, probably because it didn't feel like it was using the high notes quite as much. I Believe In...

    Judas Priest

    Really enjoyed the song. As others have said it's reminiscent of other modern Priest albums but I enjoyed those too. Looking forward to the album.

    If these leaks are Phil Spencer's emails, then Kotaku (https://kotaku.com/microsoft-buy-nintendo-net-worth-valve-steam-email-1850852461) quote them as saying that he doesn’t see “an angle to a near term mutually agreeable merger of Nintendo and MS". So in other words, no news except the...

    IRON MAIDEN ALBUM RANKING: TOP THREE REVEALED

    FOTD is criminally underrated here. The title track, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, Judas Be My Guide, and Wasting Love are all fantastic. From Here To Eternity, Chains Of Misery, and even Weekend Warrior are perfectly serviceable hard rock songs - different, to be sure, but not bad. That's over...

    The X Factor and only The X Factor.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    Doctor Smoke is one of the surprises of the cup for me so far - never heard of them before but really enjoyed this song and will be checking out more of them in the future. With that said, Trivium are one of the most frustrating bands I know because if they stuck to clean vocals they'd have...

    Now Playing (Video Games)

    This is like half the reason that I'm still stuck on Nintendo systems, to be honest. That said, because I mainly stick to the big first party releases and don't dip into indie games it means I've got the opposite problem with nothing I want to play until the new Mario comes out!

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    Do people really care whether the song is "metal" or not? It's a cup of songs from people with (broadly) similar tastes where we will hopefully come across a couple of new songs we quite like that we hadn't heard before. It's not likely to affect the "purity" of the results either; I'd find it...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    They'd be better if they did the harsh less and the clean vocals more. My closest comparison would be Seven Spires; I adore their clean songs but the moment she starts screaming it ruins the whole thing.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    There are some good bands who use harsh vocals, but none who wouldn't be improved by having an actual singer. That's my take on this.

    Wrong, it's actually Abstainkiller!

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    Match 73 - Poison - Talk Dirty To Me This is just a bop, simple as. I don't know what song the rest of you have been listening to! Match 74 - I'm abstaining here, as I don't massively like either band and don't have time to give both tracks a proper listen. Match 75 - Life of Agony - This...
