The Man Who Would Be King May not have the strongest riffs or vocals on the record, but taken as a whole this is a very strong track, and it fits perfectly on the end of this record.  I get chills every time it finishes spinning with the wind blowing.

I can see that

Loving this tune more and more.  May be the strongest on the record. I don't know that Bruce is outright denying the existence of God; certainly he's questioning many of the foundational ideas of major religions.  I agree with Khan in that it comes more from a place of agnosticism than...

On first listen this seemed to be the weakest of the bunch... but I'm loving it now.  Cranked it full blast in the car with the windows down and "got" it finally.

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) Don't know about you guys, but I have chills on my arms through almost 90% of the album...

Texted a buddy yesterday "Talisman = Rime of the Ancient Mariner Part 2"

I look forward to your commentary LC... the only reason I found this site was by Googling "Aces High commentary" and stumbling upon your lengthy exposition.  This song is heavy and the lyrics are freaking awesome even though I have no idea what they mean.

Anybody else's eardrums get blown out every time the gallop kicks in?  Seems to be mixed higher than the rest of the record.

Voted COTS / Holy Diver.  It physically pained me

I had similar thoughts... So no pity vote for Wildest Dreams? Anyone?

Having a harder time getting into this tune... it has its moments but it almost feels like filler.  Almost.

I can't believe how powerful this simple tune is.  What I cannot wait for is getting a copy of this tune live from Brazil!  Whole audience singing along... chills

Re: Highlights and/or shortcoming on Final Frontier? (Spoilers.) Breakdown @ 4:00 minute mark in Starblind.  7/8 time?

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) I'm hearing lots of the Blaze era (and the 90's in general) throughout the whole record.

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) What group is Miley in?

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) His wording confused me as well. I can reject music I don't like pretty instantly.  I also can tell when I hear something special.  But there's a middle category of material that's deeper like (most of) Maiden's post-reunion...

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) I agree.  The point remains that arbitrarily drawing a line like "true fans must like X category of Maiden's material" is a fallacy.

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) Please see this article for confirmation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) It absolutely did have something to do with it.  Especially with AMOLAD - those are not singles, something I didn't understand about Maiden at the time.

Re: Official thread for Final Frontier discussion (Spoilers inside) Completely agree
