    Iron Maiden Compilation Album

    Not quite a "ballad" compilation, but rather a calmer songs' one recorded as acoustic remakes: Slumber of the Beast: CD 1: The Man of Sorrows Coming Home When The Wild Wind Blows Out of the Shadows Journeyman Blood Brothers Como Estais Amigos Fortunes Of War 2 A.M. CD 2: Afraid To Shoot...

    Average song length of each studio album.

    100% agreed. Especially AOI and the front cover. Both stick out like sore thumbs.

    Senjutsu charts position

    Read all the article. Plus, even with albums released after the rise of streaming (BTW shares in streaming platforms are pure theft), Maiden profits waaaaaaaaay more with physical formats. . Add to it remasters, celebrating editions, boxed editions (the band released several of these during the...

    Senjutsu charts position

    It's obvious Maiden can't exclude themselves from streaming services: not only would they be losing money (hey... everything counts!) but also availability (since there's a fair amount of people who don't consume physical formats) and more importantly web exposition. That being said, when it...

    Poll: The weakest 80's Maiden album?

    Yup... it's exactly the only thing I dislike. Here's where our tastes differ. I also like QFF's instrumental, and (like anyone else, I hope) also think the lyrics are crap. Now, when it comes to TLOTLDR's lyrics, while far from top tier poetry, it doesn't annoy me the least. Yet, where I think...

    Poll: The weakest 80's Maiden album?

    Couldn't agree more with these takes. Especially TLOTLDR (my favorite tune on par with WY) and how the boring history lesson lyrics shave a bit of Alexander's charm (despite musically being one hell of a tune). Now this is where we disagree. Absolute monster of a song IMO. Heavy as hell and...

    Poll: The weakest 80's Maiden album?

    Nor are they mine (perhaps with the exception of FTGGOG). If you read it carefully I wrote "other fan favorites" (yes, even Deja Vu is highly held, especially now that it's the only SIT lacking live attention). And the only reason I don't like HCW live even more is due to a certain overplaying...

    Poll: The weakest 80's Maiden album?

    "Weakest" and HCW in the same sentence is unthinkable in my book. 10 ou of 10 even with a somewhat repetitive chorus. Which is a trait common to other fan favorites: Deja Vu, Fear Of The Dark, SSOASS, The Wicker Man, Brave New World, Blood Brothers and For The Greater Good Of God (just to name...

    Virus

    IMO, the single edit version is what it's at. From the point the track goes up-tempo (featuring those gorgeous guitar harmonies) up to the synth filled final part this song is awesome ... a solid 8 or 8,5 out of 10. Now, when it comes to the full version I think the initial calm section is...

    Doom Metal

    Taking into account that there's lot of Candlemass here, yup... it's kinda fair to say they are. Not that I care too much, but it seems the second wave of Doom Metal spearheaded by Candlemass (and then continued by Solitude Aeturnus, Solstice and many others) got the moniker of Epic Doom, while...

    Bruce Dickinson

    Listened to More Balls To Picasso today and IMO it sounded really nice. The samples are cool and I also liked the arrangements. Overall, it felt like a cool rearrangement of the original. And if it was Bruce's initial vision IMO he had the right to do it. After all, even if you don't like these...
