Normal for a 60s prog rock band.The song Liar is great. Pretty long songs most of them.
The Lion is a great song. Quality hard rock. It could have fitted SIT (ofc) and NPFTD indeed, it's like Hooks In You but better. And it would have been a bit heavier for the latter album.Just listened to it. I really like it. It certainly would have fitted on Somewhere In Time. Or No Prayer. And I certainly like production style here. Guitar sound and rhythm section overall. How do you call it? Woody? Thick? Imagine No Prayer for the Dying, or The Final Frontier with this sort of production.
Their biggest production was for the previous tour, but this is their biggest and widest screen. And it looks cool, especially when the stage design is included too. Manowar are one of the bands that use the screens best/right.Kings of true metal have returned to Europe, Ostrava. Is it me, or their stage production is getting bigger?
Priest needed some ''metal'' in Turbo, it's normal.Judas Priest should have go full retard and make Turbo album even more Turbier...
Early days songs overall vibe in Maiden or Priest? Can't see it now. Be Quick is unique. Aces and 2 Minutes? I guess Death Or Glory and Speed Of Light. You mean more like a lyrics approach? Well, Maiden are a more serious band now. So Boots-type of song... Montsegur?On a side note. I am for sure missing some attitude in Maiden's music. Not No Prayer attitude but Running Free, Killers, Die With Your Boots On, Aces High, Two Minutes, Be Quick or Be Dead, etc. type attitude. It doesn't have to be just depression/serious face, mourning all the time. Gimme somme healthy metal (within Maiden framework)
Two short kick ass rockers per album would be nice. In my book, Stratego and Days of Future Past do not fall in that category. Death or Glory was very good, imo. I agree that they are serious now. But cmmon, being serious all the time becomes so tiresome.Priest needed some ''metal'' in Turbo, it's normal.

We are getting the fun attitude from the melodies.
