Bruce Dickinson

[Poto]

Machine Men is underrated. I always liked the song, but when I tried playing it on the guitar it really started to grow on me. The riffs are really heavy and really fun to play.

TOS has only one song I didn´t like at first, Believil, but it grew through the years.

Same. But ''Believil'' is one of my least favorite solo songs of Bruce.

 

[GhostofCain]

I really like Believil. I think Soul Intruders is the weakest song on the album.

Soul Intruders is much better!!

 

[Yax]

Yeah, I think all songs are solid. It's a really good album. The only thing is, it lacks the variety of the previous two records.

 

[GhostofCain]

Soul Intruders is much better!!

I am afraid we will have to agree to disagree.

I am afraid we will have to agree to disagree.

“Soul Intruders” is weak, but can’t most of us agree that “Devil On A Hog” is the true low point of the album…?

The main weakness of TOS is that is lacks Adrian!

You’ve got to love the Brexit-related replies to that tweet!

No.

Best track on the album.

 

[Randalf]

I quite like Soul Intruders too. It's a bit generic, but good. The chorus is punchy.

However, my very favourite from the album is Navigate the Seas of the Sun. It's relatively simple, yet very beautiful song and in my opinion, one of Bruce's best vocal performances (on the softer side, anyway) since The Chemical Wedding. I'd love to hear that one live.

Purple, gold and blue
Living colors every hue
Flowers in the garden of the gods
No one can ever know
if you never saw them grow
but this darkness is really full of light

 

[Yax]

For me, Navigate The Seas of the Sun and Kill Devil Hill, possibly along with the title track, are the peak tracks of the album.

 

[MindRuler]

For me, Navigate The Seas of the Sun and Kill Devil Hill, possibly along with the title track, are the peak tracks of the album.

And Abduction too!

The chorus of DOAH is amazing.
I really dig that song tbh.

 

[Gk1]

TOS is an unlucky album. It has the task to follow two of the best metal albums ever!

 

[Randalf]

Speaking of Kill Devil Hill, that chorus is huge.

Like, really, really HUGE. It soars. Chills, every time.

 

[Poto]

Like, really, really HUGE. It soars. Chills, every time.

It's triumphant. Fits very well with the lyrics.

 

[Kalata]

For me, Navigate The Seas of the Sun and Kill Devil Hill, possibly along with the title track, are the peak tracks of the album.

My favorite songs from the album are: Abduction, Power Of The Sun, River Of No Return and Navigate The Seas Of The Sun.

I can also add Kill Devil Hill and Devil On A Hog.

 

[Randalf]

Ah, Devil on a Hog. I think it's ok, relatively catchy rocker that paces out the album rather well. Nothing mind-blowing, but fun. Wouldn't have been too much out of place if it was on Tattooed, Balls or even AoB. I always found the following section of the lyrics as mildly self-reflecting regarding Bruce's past struggles with Maiden.

I’m not the shy retiring kind
Like a supernova for the blind
I used to sit at God's right hand
But I quit that show to do my one night stands
