Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

[GhostofCain]

I think we're back where we were one week ago.

Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before

 

[The Red and the Black]

Each to their own. To me it is a good song featuring most of Steve's cliches that is overstretched, although the instrumental part is pretty good.

I think The Red and the Black is brilliant in the way it stitches together "Steve's cliches". I do understand the criticism; it is kind of a Maiden Frankenstein's monster. But I think it just works, even if it shouldn't. Rocks my world. But yeah, just my opinion.

We can certainly talk about what we want to see on the next album, but keep in mind this thread is primarily for rumours and speculation, rather than dreamlists.

We have lots of rumour and speculation regarding the existence of an Album 17; we have nothing about the content of same.

 

[The_7th_one]

we have nothing about the content of same.

WRONG because we know that it's going to be AWESOME!

 

[Collin]

What if it isn’t?

 

[Jer]

What if it isn’t?

If the post-reunion trend of albums alternating between being stronger and weaker continues, this would unfortunately be slated to be a weaker album.

 

[The_7th_one]

Be positive!

I love how everybody has already made up their mind about an album which exists in entirely hypothetical state at this point.

Exactly, everybody is only in Paris to rehearse a certain “fan favorite” track that will budge its way back into the LOTB setlist.

I think they could release 2 albums in 1 year, something like they did with A Real Live One and A real Dead One, GNR did it at the same time 2 double albums. Or W.AS.P. with the Neon God…I'm dreaming I know

You are thinking unrealistically.

 

[The_7th_one]

I said that because I'm afraid that this is could be the last studio album and I just want something special.

 

[Magnus]

I just want something special.

Ain't Saké-Infused Lager special enough?

 

[The_7th_one]

it comes with a nice packaging though mmm…it's not enough

 

[Magnus]

Wish I could be that optimistic really.

 

[Trevoire]

To be honest the only reunion album I don't like is TFF, and even that still has 2 belting songs on it (Talisman and WTWW


The rest of the reunion albums have plenty to like.

 

[The_7th_one]

Kevin Shirley says that will reunite with his family in one month so…the album –that we think that they are recording– needs one month to be mixed, mastered and finnished (aprox 15th june that it's the date that the band would begin to rehersal the second leg of the Legacy of the Beast Tour)

So, the mods want to both encourage more speculation about content and then complain about people speculating about content. At least we got that cleared up!

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Well said.

I love all the reunion albums so I will definitely like the next one. They have simply been on the right path since their reunion, at least when it comes to what I want to listen from Iron Maiden.
