Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations

[gazda]

So now we can be sure that TWOTW is not a name of a new album.

 

[Brigantium]

So the samurai Eddie?

I wasn't sure if that wasn't a nod to Japanese style animation and the Samurai Eddie in the Legacy of the Beast game

 

[srfc]

The Samurai is from Sun and Steel no?

 

[Azas]

Now I am little bit worried that the new album will be AMOLAD twin. Bleak and colorless social commentary. All this Babylonian speculation we can set aside, it was only about single.

 

[GhostofCain]

The Samurai is from Sun and Steel no?

That might be the reason hinted at something Sun and Steel related coming later this year during that Download video interview.

I’d rather have songs with the lyrical content of Brighter than a Thousand Suns or The Longest Day than Bible-inspired stuff.

 

[Azas]

I want songs in the vein of IESF, TCW.

 

[mihai]

That second solo is something special…

 

[Azas]

By the looks of the video, we will be getting album about the world and the enviroment.

And Gaia, and waters.
Known for years here, why are you so surprised?

 

[pablominiaci]

It seems that Steve began to accept a little more, the tuning in D from "If eternity ...".
I thought it was an amazing song, great riff, great melody and very, very, very Bruce solo style.

 

[Ruflux]

That might be the reason hinted at something Sun and Steel related coming later this year during that Download video interview.

Well, that's it. You heard it here first, Sun and Steel's officially confirmed for the new album tour setlist, along with Only the Good Die Young and Alexander the Great.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

What about The Educated Fool?

I wish.....how did you come to this conclusion ? Musically the new song is full of rock (oh Lord.....) melodies, how is this similar to the darkness of AMOLAD ?

Anyway , in retrospective, I hate how they hyped this with stuff like «man or beast, heaven or hell» e.t.c. Some people even thought that we would get a spiritual successor to 7th son, yeah.....NO.

Hype plummeted since the release of TWOTW because I kind of think that this isn’t a new Speed of Light (which was decent but didn’t really represent TBOS album) but a new TROBB (totally representative of the album).

Why couldn’t they try to record their own Firepower ?

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

It's one song out of a collection of songs, still time to see if TWOTW is part of a bigger picture thematically.

 

[LooseCannon]

Why couldn’t they try to record their own Firepower ?

Ew. As a fan of Firepower, I say ew. I'd rather Iron Maiden continue to grow and change - which seems to be the course of things.

Dark lager?

 

[Iron Lurker]

Why couldn’t they try to record their own Firepower ?

Probably because they are not interested in redoing what they've already done in the past? But let's hear the whole album first. I know we have opposed opinions on the the new song but it has me really excited for the new album.

This^^

Writing songs that some people have already mentioned remind them of the NPFTD-era is «growing and changing» ? Yeah I wish they didn’t grow and gave us a «balls to the wall» heavy metal album for what might be their swansong. I am legitimately so sad since listening to the new single......

These are the same excuses that Metallica fans use even though, deep down, they would prefer a new Master of Puppets instead of load.
