Welcome aboard.

What a great post, Zare! Very enjoyable to read.

Thank you. When new people come all excited, I get a nostalgia attack. Band has a big past for new fans to explore, while we can't do much than sit and wait for 6 old men to do something new

Exactly. Thinking about the way you discovered the band can be very exciting.

Fast forward a year or so, again VIVA 2, and The Wickerman. Great track, powerful, Nicko is playing like Nicko again, everything is just great, but there's no wow factor. That's exactly my opinion of Brave New World. For me it's the thing that came out after Chemical Wedding, and it fell damn short.

I discovered Chemical Wedding in 2005. Though I partially regret for the 7 wasted years, I don't exchange it, due the wow factor I had with BNW. For me it's the thing that came out after Virtual XI, and it fell damn huge
