I don't see a river here (7Son cover art) To me it's Arctic ocean of some sorts.
Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

The Titanic doesn't fit inside
My criticism would be that the mix of the rhythm guitars lacks clarity and the bass could be a tad more prominent. But yes, it's easily the best sounding of Shirley's tenure. Not a patch on the sound of the 80s albums though (debut and Piece of Mind excepted).

Latest hint on Twitter (Sancho's squad number is 17...)

No one had seen the Guillaume Tell post despite it being up for a week. So they made that post which points to the studio
It's by the river. It has an apple in the logo. It's the capital of France. That entire writing was about Guillaume Tell.

Out of the Silent Planet
Way more Maidenish (and appropriate for the band) to me.
Do all the people in the world wear this shirt right now?...
It seems every day (until 15/07) there will be hints/clues.

for my money (and played through MartinLogan ESL 11 speakers with NAD amplification and SVS sealed sub) NO OTHER recorded song Maiden has done sounds better than "Out of the Silent Planet" off BNW. just insane impact and clarity.

Have you listened to any of the original vinyls for the first seven albums?

Honestly I don't get the total boner most people have for the sound of the 80's albums? For the most part they sound thin and fucking OLD to me. Killers has a pretty good mix, but every other 80's album I listen to in spite of the production, not because of it.
Brave New World sounds very good to me. Big, loud, heavy, modern, in your face. The drums in particular are HUGE. There's actually some low end weight to it.
It is slightly muddy (could be fixed with a better mastering job) but easily the best sounding Maiden record by a long way imo.
The rest of the reunion era stuff hasn't sounded great, but that's really down to Steve imo.

Wow, is Maiden's influence this big that they can have England give this guy 17?
Didn't he also wear some new Maiden West Ham merch or was that another guy.

i don't do vinyl just quality digital (FLAC). i don't dislike vinyl i just can't deal with the maintenance, pops/clicks/etc. but, yeah, i've got all the reissue cd's for the entire 80's canon...and i still feel BNW is the best-sounding album they've ever put out.
22 may on the cover = release date in may 2022 ? :/

DEEPER GREY CAME TO MOURN
Dear God, Beelzebub and Belshazzar I hope not. Don't think so anyways...I looked up that book and the actual book itself has that date on it. Don't think its manipulated for Maiden
