News 18th Studio Album discussion

If I were to listen to either of those two albums from start to finish, I'd probably pick BNW, although I think DOD has higher peaks taken individually (Rainmaker, Montsegur, title track, Paschendale).

DOD probably has more "variegate" ideas but I would take one, maybe two tracks out of it, with the candidates being No More Lies and Gates of Tomorrow.

I'd say the high points on DOD are higher (Paschendale in particular), but BNW is more consistent.

EDIT: The stinkers on DOD (No More Lies in particular) stink more though.

I enjoyed their return to the theatrics and historical themes so much. It was also the confirmation that the reunion plan was for real. Five songs from the setlist were Dance Of Death tracks. And I love it when Maiden focuses on new material. All this, of course, is justifiable because I do like that record. To me, is the album that gave the band wheels to keep going over the hills and far away, bringing back themes from their past, but also new sonic qualities. Awful cover though!

Six, six, six, the number of tracks off DOD played for you and me.

Setlist could have featured more songs (the gig was merely 100 minutes long, definitely shorter than the GMETID shows), but the DOD songs were the highlights. Paschendale, Dance of Death and Journeyman were magnificent.

Nice gig. The car part at Vistalegre was very expensive though!

Getting «Lord Of The Flies» was pretty cool too.
