Bruce Dickinson Solovivor 2024: THE TOP 10 - #5

[Eddieson]

Road To Hell (could have easily been a Maiden classic) and King In Crimson (with its 2 amazing solos) nothing special? Wow.

I mean, it's good, they are probably 8/10s, but here we have some real perfect 10/10 tracks, some of Bruces' absolute best. The competition is hard

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

King In Crimson is absolutely amazing. Best riff in Bruce's discography. This is wild.

 

[Diesel 11]

Bro you guys cannot be voting out "Trumpets of Jericho". I know Jer has shit opinions* but I expected better from the rest of you. Jesus Christ.

Hey, why was the poll closed already? I haven't voted yet.

Hey, why was the poll closed already? I haven't voted yet.

Unless an album is entering the poll is left open for just two days. I can’t update rn though so I’ve opened it again for an extra three hours.

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Thel, Urizen, Alchemist. But honestly, the only song I really dislike here is Thel.
An inferior, more boring remake of Aquarius... and those multi-tracked strained wails in the middle must be among the most annoying moments Bruce has ever commited to tape.

One more round of AOB/TCW, let's see if we can get these songs promoted and start fresh with the next round.

Voting for:

• Accident of Birth
• Arc of Space
• The Alchemist

...for promotional purposes.

And I of course missed that window as well
It's a bit frustrating that we aren't getting notifications for new rounds due to website limitations. Oh well, there's always next round I guess.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Queen and Arc (for promotional purposes)

Cluttered as it may be for voting, nothing else from TCW deserves to go (neither did Crimson or Jericho). These songs are better than anything we’re about to vote on over the next two albums.

Yeah maybe I need to go have a heart to heart with Jon lol.

 

[Diesel 11]

@Vaenyr here’s the next round by the way.

 

[MindRuler]

From TOS the only "masterpieces" for me are Navigate The Seas Of The Sun and the title track.

 

[Eddieson]

Taking the Queen
Road to Hell
Accident of Birth
Chemical Wedding
The Tower

 

[Jer]

Trumpets of Jericho - 9 votes

Hallelujah. Worst song on the album for sure.

New votes: Accidental Arc Alchemist

 

[Kalata]

Eliminated after Round 15:
Gates of Urizen - 10 votes
King in Crimson - 9 votes
Trumpets of Jericho - 9 votes

Given the rest of the songs from the album, these are not surprising, especially Trumpets. King In Crimson is like in the middle for most fans, while I thought Urizen was a bit more appealing.

Votes:

Arc Of Space
Jerusalem
Chemical Wedding (it was between it and The Alchemist, but the latter is such a unique piece of art. I know the title track shines with vibe and vocals, but I always thought it could have a better instrumental section)

 

[Vaenyr]

Tough choices:

Road To Hell
The Tower
Book Of Thel
The Alchemist

 

[MindRuler]

From TOS the only "masterpieces" for me are Navigate The Seas Of The Sun and the title track.

And of course Kill Devil Hill!

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Alchemist and Road to Hell
But most of all, yes, Book of Thel

 

[Diesel 11]

Eliminated after Round 16:
Arc of Space - 13 votes
