That's actually pretty tough. The X Factor is a fantastic, often underrated album. The Final Frontier - while not a top 3 reunion album - still represents my favourite incarnation of Maiden and has a lot of great stuff in it. I'm voting TFF but TXF is pretty close.
Definitely Dance of Death. The Book of Souls - aside from the title track masterpiece - is full of uninspired, underdeveloped tracks. DoD is known to have some fillers, but I'd argue that the fillers are pretty decent and based on solid ideas.
The first night of the Ed Hunter tour, definitely. I can imagine how wonderful it felt to be a Maiden fan back then and witness Bruce and Adrian's return. And the setlist was great too.
Yup! The centaur looks like an evolved form of the first one or whatever. He also holds a guitar and it seems to me like a part of this idea got into TFF tour poster.
Hah, this and that unused Riggs art that was posted the other day in a different thread got me dreamy about the visual stuff...
It's been a while since I peeked into TFF booklet. Forgot how cool some of these are. I like the top left one. Very out-there for an Eddie, but I think there was potential there.
I like Dave and I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but he's the only member without whom I could imagine the band still going on. Don't think they would do that, though. 10-15 years ago maybe, but not when they clearly don't have that much time left as a band anyway. That said, I'm not...
The album has been with me all the time since the release. Absolutely love it. The best one since AMoLaD easily. So much better than TBoS (the weakest reunion album by far IMO - aside from the 10/10 title track). Senjutsu is more inspired, more Maiden. Also, way more "metal" for lack of a better...
I was just about to correct myself. You're right.
By the way, here are some pro photos. https://www.ph-pit.com/2022/05/23/iron-maiden-zagreb-arena-22-05-2022/ Sorry if that was already posted, I didn't see.
Sad to see The Wicker Man and FtGGoG dropped. I realise they were not crowd favourites during the previous leg of the tour, but for me both songs would be among the highlights. I would gladly trade Revelations and The Clansman for them. Not thrilled with the addition of Blood Brothers either...
And the other way around too, I imagine! All the warming up for the tour probably helped him nail it in the studio. Seems like a smart decision to do it right now. I hope all vocals are done (as opposed to just a few tracks or whatever), so Roy could work on the final production while Bruce is...
I assumed that the lake of lava is a reference to TNotB. If I'm not mistaken, its backdrop image was something like this. But it would be cool if it was actually something new.
I'm sure TWotW and Stratego will be played. The imagery on the poster seems like an official confirmation. If there's a third one, I think Senjutsu is the most likely, even though I also think it would take away from the future album set a little bit. I mean, the song feels like something that...
Big fan of the band here. I've just listened to Impera for the first time. The best way I can sum up my initial reaction is that I feel I've just listened to Ghost covering a bunch of songs that I don't know. There's something... alien about it and I'm pretty sure it's not a matter of it being...
