Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

[Lampwick 43]

There are far, far worse Metal albums than 'Load'. It's not even relevant to this discussion, why did you even bring it up?

Did you not see the post directly before that one??

I did, but then didn't make the connection as I tend to switch off when people start talking about Metallica when they're not relevant to the discussion. I've looked at too many Youtube comment sections to have much interest in the same old arguments about them anymore.

why did you even bring it up?

Because the previous few comments included the phrase "shitload" and I knew there was an album called "Load" by Metallica. Then I added a common phrase "piece of shit" before Load and it hence made a clever (?) turn of phrase that .... oh for fuck's sake it was a lame dad joke, jeez.

Load and The X factor are among the biggest masterpieces of the 90s. I wish the new album could be like TXF.

Putting Load next to The X Factor belongs in the blasphemy thread

 

[KidInTheDark666]

No.

Yeah, The X Factor is a much worse album.

 

[Collin]

Didn’t think I ever would have to say this but...

The X Factor >>>> Load

Load and TXF are both terrifically underrated but one’s a masterpiece and the other could use some trimming down.

Well,the good news is that we are going to have one last Iron Maiden album ( probably last one) and would be out next year.Would be could christmas...

 

[Randalf]

I think we can all agree that an ideal scenario would be that the album #17 turns out to be better than both, Load and The X-Factor, regardless how high you rank them at the moment.

I have never understood why Load gets so much flak when Metallica's musical departure from their thrash roots had already started with the Black Album.

 

[Black Wizard]

There's a Metallica thread for this.

Load is meh, Black is just a piece of crap. So it gets less flak.

Now this post is for the blasphemy thread.

 

[Mosh]

I like talking about Metallica when they’re not relevant as much as the next guy but let’s go back to talking about Maiden XVII

 

[Whooten]

I hear there is going to be a shitload of new music from Maiden coming soon.

 

[Jer]

I hear there is going to be a shitload of new music from Maiden coming soon.

Since The Book Of Souls already had a shitload of music on it, wouldn’t that make Maiden XVII a re-shitload...?

 

[Poto]

I think Maiden really want a number one album in the US so a release not too long after this tour might be realistic. Judging from comments on social media people absolutely love this show, and this will be Maiden's most successful tour in North America ever.

To those who had been following Maiden at the time: Did the release of TBOS feel bigger than any other release since BNW? Like, was the hype much more built up, or am I looking at this in hindsight differently than those who were there did? Because the release and tour of TBOS seems to have been a pretty grandiose event, and I’m curious to know how Maiden will be able to top it.
