With the new album all but confirmed to be announced within the next week or so, I thought it would be fun to play the prediction game for what could very well be the last time for us Maiden fans. The idea is this: predict as much information as you can about the new Maiden album. Since Maiden tends to follow certain formulas, I imagine someone here is going to get pretty close to what actually gets released. Try to be realistic. Rather than fantasy land nonsense about how you want Maiden to release a 10 CD set with a 30 minute epic written by Nicko McBrain, use your knowledge of Maiden to “predict” their next album. Here are the categories:

ALBUM TITLE:

ALBUM LENGTH:

ALBUM COVER ARTIST:

NUMBER OF SONGS:

LONGEST SONG:

SHORTEST SONG:

WRITING CREDITS (how many songs will be written by each member or combination of members?):

GUITARIST WITH MOST SOLOS:

NUMBER OF SONGS WITH TITLE REPEATED IN CHORUS:

NUMBER OF SONGS WITH TITLES LIFTED FROM OTHER MEMBERS’ SOLO CAREERS (bonus for predicting which specific songs):



The Winner will receive the grand prize of eternal forum glory and one (1) emoji reaction of my choosing.

Runner ups will receive one (1) liked post each.


Good luck!
