The flood begins... Doesn't go into too much depth about any specific tracks, so those who don't want it spoiled needn't be worried. http://thequietus.com/articles/18529-iron-maiden-interview

Whoops, meant THIS kind of open mind... As far as Maiden chart position, it'd definitely be nice if they hit number one in the US, but I'm more interested in how many other countries they can hit the top spot on. I believe The Final Frontier debuted at no1 in 27 different countries. THAT is...

This forum is infinitely better than a Facebook page and, though I haven't used twitter, its emphasis on essentially posting distilled information/thoughts without context really annoys me; the model its built on and streamlined really is a microcosm for modern day media manipulation....but...

Sounds like their album Defenders of the Faith would be right up your alley. They have A LOT songs in the style you're looking for in a lot of their albums, but I reckon Defenders of the Faith has the largest quantity those songs that are of the highest quality. You'd probably also really enjoy...

Yeah, the shortcomings of the albums production become even more apparent when Bruce absolutely nails his live performances. All his vocal deliveries on En Vivo seemed nigh effortless. Hell, he even sings in a slightly higher key during the first chorus of El Dorado and doesn't sound strained at...

I can only speak for myself, but Starblind excels as a song in Maidens catalogue for multiple reasons. 1-Lyrically complex and thought provoking, easily among the best lyrics in a Maiden song. 2-The atmosphere is very unique, created by the mix of idiosyncratic rhythmic patterns and the...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't they also always include a solo composition from Steve in their sets? In which case (and judging from what we've heard, part of it is ripe for crowd participation) The Red and the Black would also be a strong contender for being played live.

I've had the opposite reaction. When it first came out, I really didn't care for it. Was probably a 5/10. It wasn't until I heard the live rendition on En Vivo that I suddenly fell in love with it (funnily enough, the same applies to Blood Brothers, though to a lesser degree) and its now become...

I do apologise @Gk1 . I searched the forum to make sure it hadn't been posted, and I swear I didn't see your post, otherwise I would not have posted it at all. In terms of the content of the review, I think some people may be overreacting a tad to Janicks comments regarding Steve adding...

Another very detailed Jannick interview. There ARE some minor spoilers about some of the songs stylist direction http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/iron_maidens_janick_gers_were_not_gonna_be_a_parody_we_are_valid_now_and_what_we_play_now_is_valid.html

I honestly don't know which tracks i'm more excited for. As far as predicting which tracks will become "hidden gems," it seems that distinction, by default, will belong to the shorter/medium length songs that no one is talking about. The supposedly "dark and unsettling" nature of Man of Sorrows...

Another interview from the silver clef awards. A bit more insight into Bruces' treatment, and a few other interesting things...

Well...that is certainly not going to make the wait any easier. Straight off the bat we get an extremely catchy and memorable melody bathed in refreshingly sharp production. September, please hurry.

It WOULD be believable...if Mr shadow pants wasn't also responsible for the last lyrical trolling on this thread. It doesn't help that you've done the same song as last time @shadowpants . That being said its very impressive (if excruciatingly frustrating!!!) So well done :p

My F5 key is taking a beating right now. I am too excited for this moment...I'm almost afraid of what i'm going to do when they actually release some material from the album.

I'll be honest, upon first hearing WTWWB, it didn't really click, and I felt it was the weakest of the last 5 tracks. It did grow on me, but its standing remained the same. Then I bought En Vivo... SWEET JESUS OF NAZARETH, WHAT A SONG!!! The live version is just stunning, absolutely flawless...

Six weeks out, and the herd is already becoming restless. Its touching though. One of the main reasons I joined this forum (besides the perpetual thirst for any album info) was because no one I know is a maiden fan, and its the hardest thing ever not to vent my unprecedented enthusiasm upon...

Nicko has spoken. Last time I recall him saying similar things was before AMOLAD, which I definitely think deserved the praise. Someone freeze me until September 4th. This is getting unbearable.

The Red and the Black The Ninjas a back Their fighting with katanas Its totally bananas The Red and the Blaaaaaaackk (queue extended instrumental section)

I think "The Red and the Black" takes the award for Maidens vaguest song title. Do any of you still think the the katana wielding silhouettes that were present on last years Maiden Christmas card are still an indication of some of the material thats on The Book of Souls? Obviously not the album...
