    Iron Maiden: Album Discussion

    Guitars need more distortion and sustain

    Sanctuary

    Worst song on the album for me and one of maidens worst ever. It's got a bit of energy but that's about it. It's just a standard punk rock song on my eyes 5/10

    Strange World

    The first solo is Dave is it not ? Anyway, my review I find this song something special, it has a unique atmosphere that maiden have never recreated. It all sounds very dream like. This is probably the only song on the album where the production doesn't negatively affect the song. Great solos...

    Prowler

    Nice intro with the wah peddle, the fast middle bit is cool and the solo has a lot of aggression. Lyrics are a bit dull and this song really suffers from the production 7/10

    If Eternity Should Fail

    Bruce's solo stuff is rarely over-repetative so imagine the extra chorus was indeed Steve's idea. I dunno though, maybe Adrian wanted more time to solo

    Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

    Back in the village The odd meter parts of Isle of Avalon and Starblind (but that's a personal weakness) Sea of madness is a little tricky I suppose The hardest solos are H's from SIT onwards. His book of souls solos are very tricky to follow

    Guitar Solos - The Book of Souls

    If you mean the solo after the break following the first three solos then that is Adrian

    TBOS Tour Predictions

    Imagine a 90's tour where they open with be quick or be dead, play the whole of the x factor in its entirety and finish with fear of the dark lol I can't see them playing anything off the final frontier and think they will drop dance of death.

    The Book Of Souls (song not album)

    I think someone already mentioned this. The guitar work in the chorus is very similar to the song heaven and hell by black sabbath. I rate this as the best song on the album and would give it a 9.4/10. I think the intro doesn't need to be repeated twice and there doesn't need to be an outro...

    The Book of Souls: General album discussion

    He's strained in some parts but still less strained than on the final frontier

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    I think the man the would be king is a pretty bad song. The intro and outro is beautiful but everything else is a bit meh in my opinion. The verses are especially annoying with Bruce's lackluster vocals, a lot of TFF suffers due to this style of singing. You could have made the case that he...

    Iron Maiden songs that you flat out dislike?

    Actually, new maiden tends to be a lot more technical and harder to play than the majority of old maiden

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    I consider ghost of the navigator and brave new world (the song) essential maiden

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    Why don't you like Brave New World so much ? Just curious And in my opinion fear of the dark and the x factor are both much better than NPFTD, the only song that I feel is above average on NPFTD is the title track and maybe fates warning

    The Man Of Sorrows

    I wonder if this song might have been partially inspired by the passing of Clive Burr. "As we watch all our friends passing over, As they pass through the edges of time" The song seems to be about people who deal with long term illness and their eventual passing. I know Clive was in poor...

    Your Maiden blasphemy

    There are at least 3 better songs than sign of the cross on the x factor. 2am, Judgment of heaven and Fortunes of war

    Guitar Solos - The Book of Souls

    100% Adrian. Definitely his vibrato. Wider and more controlled than jans

    The Red And The Black

    There is no anti-Steve Harris agenda here. It isn't our job to lick Steve's balls and worship everything he has written. If we don't like certain aspects of his songwriting, we are free to express our criticism's.

    The Red And The Black

    I don't think Steve is capable of writing a masterpiece nowadays without a guitarists help. Look at the best songs off the last few albums Book of souls Starblind Brighter than a thousand suns The legacy Dance of death Paschendale Brave new world Ghost of the navigator

    For Somewhere In Time fans

    MVP of the album is Adrian by a long shot. Although the world slavery tour effected Bruce's voice on SIT it didn't seem to have a lasting effect. The songs on SSOASS are slightly less demanding for Bruce than on SIT but by the time accident of birth and chemical wedding comes around, Bruce's...
