I like to think of Blaze's solo career as 3 eras of 3 albums each. The first 3 albums are the best, the Infinite Entanglement trilogy is in the middle, and the 3 albums in the middle are the worst, with The King of Metal being the bottom of the bottom. Here's how I would rank them at the moment:
Silicon Messiah
Blood & Belief
Tenth Dinension
--------------------------
Infinite Entanglement
The Redemption of William Black
Endure and Survive
---------------------------
The Man Who Would Not Die
Promise and Terror
----------------------------
----------------------------
The King of Metal

I don't listen to Blaze outside of Maiden.

Don't worry, neither does Nicko.

Fun fact : Nicko had to be "born again" because he was a bad man, especially towards Blaze.

Nicko was a dick to Blaze. "Elvis has left the building" was pretty disrespectful.

I guess someone had to break the news of Blaze's appalling live performances to Steve and I do not think Janick or Davey had the guts (balls?) to do it.
Anyway, to go back to the topic of the thread, as much as I have enjoyed Iron Maiden since 2000, the downside to the reunion has been the curtailment of Bruce's exciting solo career.

I can't remember where and when Nicko was quoted saying that, but it was after Blaze left, and was a reference to his OTT sideburns

I don’t completely understand, but anyway.

Blaze had big sideburns like Elvis Presley had. Elvis has left the building is a famous phrase, I believe it used to be said after Elvis gigs to let everyone know the gig was over, much like always look on the bright side of life at a Maiden gig, but the phrase has entered into common use as a colourful way of saying something has finished. Therefore, Nicko saying this is mocking Blaze's appearance and suggesting that Nicko is not upset by Blaze's departure.

I am afraid it is not. That masterpiece was released in September (I remember buying the album on the day it was released).

Nope, I bought it on CD.
I have been buying new releases on CD since the early 90s; the format of choice was vinyl or tapes, depending on the amount of pocket money I had managed to save, before.

That's interesting that side B continues with track 7 instead of starting over with 1 or in some cases, the tracks aren't numbered at all. I've never seen side B continue the numbers like that though.I can see a Spice Girls thing in the background. How 90s!
Interesting that the photo is from Burton. When I was at Bloodstock Festival (not far from Burton) a couple of years ago I found this when looking through the stall which sells CDs/vinyls etc.:

I did not buy it. Who the hell owns a cassette player now anyway?
And people who don't have a cassette player might buy it to collect and not play. Some bands like Metallica have actually re-released stuff on cassette.

As you scream into the web of silence...
For the longest time, Wikipedia had that it was released today. Luckily that’s been since changed.
