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

    Are you musician ? ps: And for others things about that album. I really enjoy shortest tracks. EOTC and TRATB are really too long and repetitive (like i'm, yes sir !). Greater songs are the ones written before rehearsals at "Guillaume Tell's Studio", that's sure.

    Exactly. After that, it doesn't mean that composition are horribles. It is just a shame to sell an unfinished work like that. The recording is finished since the ending of 2014. So, a lot of time to mix well...

    "JAM" is the good word if you read maiden interview where they explain their studio approach for that album.

    Well resumed. Exactly what i think about the mix. It really seems that there is no cohesion of levels between tracks. It is sounds really weird. Another thing: Nicko Mc Brain... doesn't he seems to be bored with all of this ? Always playing the same way ? Without any strenght in it ? The word...

    I'm checking his wikipedia and in fact, i remembered that i dislike flight 666 sound mixing (which he did mastered). But he did "en vivo" which is great. edit: he also did "british lion" and "maiden england 88" mixing... and the job is horrible on those works.

    Not a bad album at all. On contrary. I just do not agree with the "progressive" fact and find that some tracks are too long for nothing.

    Does he have a so bad reputation for mixing and mastering ?

    I found that effect on guitars really disturbing too.

    Death or glory for sure.... The Great Unknown is not my cup of tea.

    I like jamming... but i think it is less productive on an album globally.

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

    Seems i have to justify my opinion. So, no, i'm not lost by uncommon music structure. Just to say that. Been there since 12 o'clock. Thank you ! Not at all. There are really very good tracks. The Man Of Sorrows is excellent by example. BUT, longest tracks do not have the taste of a "rime of...

    That problem have been upped in some press reviews. Not inventing that. And, i'm aware of progressive tracks structure. Sorry, I do not exclusively listen to iron maiden guys.

    Wow. Such sense of humour ! ;) Seriously, they are jamming on the longest tracks... that's a manner to do, but it sounds like a jam and not like a "real" track. My point of view.

    Ok, that's not only me who got that impression ! In a lot of tracks they didn't seems to know where the song is going... that's what really disappointed me. And it is not the case on tracks like "death or glory".

    And Notation is just a manner to rapidly give an impression to the reader. And i do not only give a note. There is some line written on the fly during a first listening. And yes, i'm not a maiden hardcore fan but i listen to them since i'm 16years old, i'm 35 today. I think i have heard all of...

    Just giving a point of view and maybe begin a discussion around tracks we like/dislike. I do not think that's trolling. edit : And my opinion seems so negative to you ? 3/5 is not a bad note at all according to me. I really think they could have done really better on a lot of things on that...

    Exactly, i'm a long time listener to maiden and i decide to find a place where to share some impression about that new album. I don't see where it could be a problem.
