    Bruce Dickinson

    I have to say I find both new songs more enjoyable than feared. I still think Roy Z is one of the least interesting guitarists out there, but I like these two songs much better than most of TOS.

    Maiden's Biggest Missed Opportunities Live

    I wish they would have been more adventurous with their show openers. The X Factour and GMETID deserves praise for not opening with an album opener, but most of the time you sort of know which song is going to open the show, even if you don't know the setlist. I imagine opening the show with The...

    Senjutsu - 20 Months Later

    4:30. I have no idea what that sound is, but it annoys me to no end!

    Senjutsu - 20 Months Later

    I really like it. It does have its flaws (the vocals on certain songs, The Time Machine, and the "ding" in HOE comes to mind), but it is the most interesting album of the reunion era.

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    "WOTW" making its debut on the LOTB tour poster does point to that, but if that's the case, it makes little sense to release the song 11 months before the tour starts.

    Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

    Their profile image on Spotify has changed from the (horrible) NOTD Eddie, to the "Tower". Looking more likely that it is a central part of the new album's artwork.

    New Single - The Writing on the Wall

    Brilliant! Much better than what I expected (the singles from the last couple of albums were pretty meh). Can't really go wrong with Smith/Dickinson, and i love the Uriah Heep vibes.

    Why don't Maiden delve deeper into their back catalogue?

    They're just a bit lazy, simple as that. I did applaud them for taking risks when it came to the Early Days tour (not playing FOTD, and playing some of the deeper cuts of that era) and AMOLAD, but they know that the fans are going to go crazy no matter which songs they play. When it comes to...

    The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

    That might be the correct setlist, but the order can't be right. The "slow" trio COTD/Blood Brothers/Tears of a Clown would destroy all momentum.

    Virtual XI appreciation

    Awful album and a terrible time for Maiden. However, Blaze's live versions of songs from VXI from after he was fired from Maiden, shows that with better production and a more focused direction, the album could have been decent. For all the blame that Blaze gets, it was Steve who let the band...

    Empire Of The Clouds

    I tried to like it, but I just can't. For a 18 minute song, there's not alot going on. I consider it to be Maiden's worst "epic". This might be the one song that has suffered the most from Shirley's poor production. There's just no life to it and no sense of danger when the climax/crash...

    If Eternity Should Fail

    Best opener since Sign of the Cross. Majestic.

    Anybody? Or is possible to just buy access to high res digital files? I don't buy CDs anymore.

    Does anybody know if a download code is included with the 3LP version?

    "The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

    Thank you for the translation. Could you please translate what is written about SOL as well? Yes, we've all heard it, but the other review that surfaced earlier has it down as an "instant classic", which leaves me a bit sceptical.

    The problem with people asking for shorter Maiden songs

    And what do the songs you listed have in common? Nothing really. And I think that´s the issue. I don't think it's about the length, I just think a lot of fans are getting tired of the "progressive" formula (which is really not progressive at all). Speaking for myself, I just want variation...

    Does Maiden care anymore?

    Honestly, I've only listened to Speed of Light about two or three times since it's release. And that's not because I want to save it for the album release, it's because the mistakes and the production makes it too annoying to listen to. It really does sound unfinished. I get what they're aiming...
