On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad would it be to pop open the whiskey on oxy and celebrex? It's calling my name.

No, he didn't say anything about the song. That's what's surprising. He said the only DoD song that compares to the content on BNW is Paschendale, meaning he excluded the title track. It could then be extrapolated that the title track is, by Bruce's own comparison, not as good as, say, The...

I think he really meant Paschendale is the only song that competes with the whole of BNW. BNW marked something "fresh" for Maiden, and similarly, Paschendale was fresh. DoD is a retread of old material. It's a silly throwaway comparison. No way he doesn't consider DoD a perfect representation of...

He meant the passions are of different qualities and intensities I think. As in "there's a particular passion."

Glad I'm not yet forgotten! Thanks. :) I know why Bruce left out private details but I don't consider, for example, "I got married and then blah blah flight shit blah," or "Laughing in the Hiding Bush was inspired by my toddler's babbling" intensely private. I think he doesn't trust his...

Finally finished the book and wanted to rise from the dead to toss in a few cents. - Skunkworks is my favorite album so I'm so happy he still views it fondly. Usually artists judge their works by their reception. I also did not know BTATS was a reworking of Strange Death. Very cool. - I was so...

I like prog and I can see why Srogyy sees the transitions in EOTC as clunky. It's partially because in each case, there's a sudden "halt" in momentum followed by a seemingly random idea. It's like running on a track and suddenly the ground completely vanishes and you find yourself in the middle...

I can't do a breakdown like that because I wouldn't know how to categorize the songs. If Eternity Should Fail, The Book of Souls, and Tears of a Clown are the three songs I believe are absolutely perfect in their current states, but I don't know if I would rank any of them above a very clearly...

I'm referring to them using material from recent eras. The Wasted Years throwback didn't bother me in SotV (even in the unlikely event they didn't notice the similarity, I find it natural to revisit old creative ideas and put a new spin on them); I didn't appreciate how similar parts of the song...

I've been seeing people say that a lot, but I don't hear nearly as much AMOLAD as I do TFF with the exception of EotC outright lifting a guitar line from The Legacy. Side note: while I praised Maiden's creativity, I couldn't believe how many times it sounded like they had ripped themselves off.

Crawling out of my hole to say goddamn I love this album. It sounds like a natural progression from TFF. Janick was the surprise MVP for me. TBoS was jam-packed with ideas, almost to a fault. Maybe if this were any other band, I'd wish they pulled back, lightened up on the gas pedal, but it's...

Got my San Bernadino tickets this morning! This is gonna be a long five months.

Last The Hand That Feeds Man, I wish I voted in most of this so that I could save The Great Below, Echoplex, and Right Where It Belongs. :p

I had to choose between college and Maidenfans survivors. And trust me, it was very tempting to pick MF. :p I think some of those venues haven't been played in a long time, and one of them I believe hasn't been played in twenty years. The San Bernadino venue has been played at recently. I saw...

Wish (this made the top 10? Bah) Last The Hand That Feeds

Holy crap! That San Bernadino show is gonna be insane. I'm definitely getting tickets for this on Friday. Why are they doing this mini-tour, though?

Man I've missed out on most of this survivor! I hate college. The Hand That Feeds, but really, anything but The Fragile. :p

Meh. I'm glad Estranged won (#2 on my list), but this list is way too Appetite-heavy, and I was kinda hoping TWAT would make the top 10 (though I knew it didn't have a prayer :p). This survivor was super fun, though. Thanks for hosting, Mosh. :) I especially enjoyed not being the only one...

I almost forgot about this. :huh: Secrets Savage Curtain The Eyes of Medusa

Great to see a Headless Cross fan! One of the most criminally underrated metal albums ever, imo. :( This.
