NOW PLAYING

Yes, but such choruses are aslo needed for some songs. Repetition too, in a songs like ''The Parchment'' or ''Empire Of The Clouds'' - it's important for the mood and the picture the lyrics are trying to describe.

Agreed, well more for Empire as you might have guessed :lol:. That middle instrumental part is damn long, but the song conveys clearly that this is the airship flying, and it would just feel wrong if it was shorter.

''There's enough going on within the chorus'' - I agree. Everything is perfect in ''The Wicker Man'' imo. Btw, do you like the chorus more with the additional verses from the Radio version?

I probably prefer the radio version, but I rarely listen to the song outside of the album so I usually just hear the album version. Hard to say...

Not only in the epics, I forgot to mention. Song structure? I think the structure of Steve's songs is always great and interesting.

You didn't forget it, I just nitpicked because it's even more surprising regarding the epics... Their epics are almost always drawn out. At least they have scorchers like BQOBD and Man on the Edge in the short songs department. A lot of power metal is influenced by Maiden, but Maiden themselves have a sound that's very much not about jumping around between parts.
 
First time hearing this. Like it just not his guitar work for it almost always sounds the same on every recording I've heard of his.
