It's exaggerated. Ok the first verses are weird and almost out of tune. And if we are meticulous, we can say that the chorus is a little repetitive and the transition with the Black Sabbath Part is not perfect, but the rest is good, even very good. I am sure that this song will be a killer live.

Yes. And I hope Kill Devil Hill, one of my favorite songs from Bruce solo.

Yes indeed, Skunkworks vibe

Everyone has their own taste. :) For me, this song is by far the worst song on the new album. The intro is good but the same as the song Freak. The instrumental part in the middle is quite good and the Chorus is ok, but the verses are awful: this is not melodious and he has not the voice...

Not sure of that. I have the feeling that some spoken parts have been added and the guitar solo at the end, and maybe some arrangements. But the rest seems coming from the original recording. If you're right, at their place, i would have re recorded some other parts.

Lol, Back to the future

I have read somewhere that they were guest musicians on the new album. Apparently chris declercq on Rain on the graves. Do you know the others?

Agree with you for the Lyrics and the fact that this song could have been better. Personally I would change also some weird vocal lines. But i love the last part of the song and the spoken words

Exactly, like the final section of Empire of the Clouds

I like this moment, and like you the part after, but this is the last minute which is for me "eargasmic"

I don't know why but i think you will not rank Mandrake in the top of your list :) :)

I like this song and the ending is beautiful, Bruce at his top, but i don't see really a chorus in this song, apart "this is your life, world of the dead..." which is for me the worst part of the song.

My only complaint is that he lets some weird vocal lines. We know that it was improvising but he could have done more re recording or corrections

Little change for me, after a week-end of listening:) Finger is more than a good B Side. 8/10 On the other hand, Many doors and Ressurection are slightly worse (or less good) than i thought. 7,5/10 for Doors and 6/10 for Resurrection

1-Chemical 2-Accident 3- Tyranny 4- BTP-Skunkworks- Mandrake 7- Tattoed Difficult to choose between BTP-Skunkworks and Mandrake. BTP is not a great album but has some great songs. Skunkworks was an ambitious project but not my cup of Tea. Mandrake is just ok with some good songs and new ideas.

I quite like the verse "bring back my queen", :):) ok this is a weird vocal line but it s fine for me

1- Afterglow - Quite good song 7/10 2- Many Doors - Good song 8,5/10 3- Rain on the Graves - B Side for me 4,5/10 4- Resurrection - Quite good 7/10 5- Finger - Ok like a good B Side 6/10 6- Eternity - Good song and good cover but not new 7,5/10 7- Mistress - Bad song 2/10 8- Face in the Mirror -...

Yes that's fair. He shines on Many Doors, Eternity and the last 3 songs.

For me, this is clearly not the problem. Personnaly, I don't want to have an another AOP or TCW, or a maidenish album. Some criticize the production, it is possibly part of the problem. But i really think that the new songs are not enough great or strong. Time will tell but i cant imagine songs...
