Dance Of Death - the album

[Cosmiceddie]

Rainmaker and Dance Of Death are still in my Maiden top ten.

Dance of Death is my favourite reunion era album. It has a great energy and balance between short and long songs. None of the songs drag for me.

^Probably the best example from the Reunion era. Actually, DOD has some experiments with sound and stuff, but overall it's what the early 90s albums could have been with a more traditional Maiden approach. Or surprisingly close to a traditional Bruce solo album approach. Bruce and Adrian have more impact from it onwards.

Dance of Death is awesome imo. I prefer it over AMOLAD, think I prefer it over Brave New World as well

Just wish Age of Innocence and New Frontier wasent on it

Dance of Death is awesome imo. I prefer it over AMOLAD, think I prefer it over Brave New World as well

I'll agree on both counts here.

I’m glad that people on here agree with me! I often feel that it is viewed as the ugly step-child of the reunion era (and yes I am purposefully referencing the cover here). But to me it is a great album.

BNW is the best reunion album for me but DOD and Senjutsu would be vying for second spot. Shame about the cover art but that is a side issue really.

I know that
'A Matter Of Life And Death' "blows it away" as far as comparisons go, but what I want to know, is

HOW DOES IT STAND ON IT'S OWN?

What number between 1 and 10 do you give this album?


1 = not good.
10 = perfect.

I give it a 10.

IRON MAIDEN : DANCE OF DEATH

This album is 10/10 supreme grand masterpiece.

Well, it's more like 11/10.

It is the SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON of Maiden's "reunion era".

Yes A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH is also at this level. But there is something extremely special about DOD.
