The pre-chorus freaks me out!
I'm the jester with no tears, And I'm playing with you fears

It's Bruce lyrics, trust me.  Bruce's lyrics are always more cryptic and less straightforward.  If I had to guess, I'd say:
Bruce: 2, 6, 7, 9 at least.  Presumably the rest for Steve.  
When the Wild Wind Blows
is most likely a Steve epic.  The longest song since Sign of the Cross too. :ok:

Interesting. Has a definite early 90s feel, feels it would fit right in on Fear of the Dark.

The artwork might just be their worst, but at least the new black and white Eddie logo is awesome

I will say this:

It is definitely very dissimilar to ANYTHING on AMOLAD.

The post-solo section where the bass comes in is going to be amazing live. Imagine 30,000 people clapping to that.

Lyrics:

Gonna tell you a story,
On a cold winters night,
You'll be sailing for glory,
Before you knew what was right

So come over here now,
I've got a vision for you,
It's my personal snakecoil(?)
It's just something to do,

I'm a jester with no tears,
And I'm bringing unknown fears,
I'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death,
The eternal lie I've told,
About the pyramids of gold,
I've got you [can't work out rest of this line]

hahahahaa!

You'll be wanting a contract,
You'll be waiting awhile
I'd like to give you my contact,
But that isn't my style,

Well you only get one chance,
And it's too good to miss,
If I'd given it to you,
Then I wouldn't exist,

Greed, lust and envy, pride, [?]
It's the same-old, same-old way,
The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me,
I'm a [?(I thought I heard 'clam and bankers' :p)] face,
With just a little out of place,
I know someone just like you, knows someone just like me,

Chorus:

El Dorado come and play [?]
El Dorado step this way,
Take a ticket for the ride,
El Dorado streets of gold,
See the ship is oversown [?]
You've got one last chance to try,

So gone is the glory,
And gone is the gold,
Well if you need a story,
[?]

Well you can say I'm a devil,
I wouldn't say no,
But out here on the dark side,
Hey, on with the show!

So now my tale is told,
Big and bad, twice as bold,
This ship of fools is sinking as the cracks begin to grow,
There is no easy way, for an honest man to [?]
Which is something you should think of when my Wrathboat [?] sails away.

Chorus x 3

Please fill in the gaps! I've left [?] where I'm unsure.

May I have your attention, please: STOP USING SPOILER TAGS.

The only "protected" information is the setlist, when the tour starts. We can discuss the song / art / tracklist freely. The spoilers are really getting annoying.

Have you people forgotten the rules? Filesharing links have been removed  ;)
Sine their site keeps crashing and Maiden is offering it for FREE download anyway, I don't see the big deal in giving a download link in this situation, but rules are rules.
 
Re: Discussion thread for ENTIRE new album! FULL details and new song to download!

Okay, El Dorado has a similar vibe to Confeos off of The Chemical Wedding. Discuss.
 
Re: Discussion thread for ENTIRE new album! FULL details and new song to download!

Nice one LC

Anyway, please clarify: We can discuss anything we want, but keep the names of the songs in spoiler tags?
 
Re: Discussion thread for ENTIRE new album! FULL details and new song to download!

That information is freely available now, and you can discuss it as much as you like.

The ONLY thing that must be kept in spoiler tags is the tour setlist, when it starts in 2 days - or other information about the live show, including all photographs.

I'm loving the new song too! That INSANE intro! And in the verses, Bruce hasn't used that style of his voice in quite some time. The only think I kind of don't like is the guitar riff being played after the intro and during the verses, but Steve's galloping bass is SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!

So did they re-record Bruces The Alchemist song?!
 
Re: Discussion thread for ENTIRE new album! FULL details and new song to download!

You guys think this could be a concept album? The track names seem like they flow together well and the single cover says " More incredible sci-fi storys from The Final Frontier"
 
Re: Discussion thread for ENTIRE new album! FULL details and new song to download!

I think it's an interesting song. The lyrics are pretty cool, I like the theme of El Dorado, the solo's are good and the bass is top notch.

Bruce is worrying me a little on this song though. His voice seems raspy and strained at times. I'm hoping that it's just an effect for this song rather than a pattern. Vocally, he's been as good as ever on the last couple of albums so it'd be a shame for him to tail off now.

Nah, The Alchemist is 6:03 so it's a lot shorter.
 
Re: Discussion thread for ENTIRE new album! FULL details and new song to download!

I'm absolutely blown away by this new song.  It reminds me of the best of Bruce's solo material with an Iron Maiden glossy shine.  It's absolutely brilliant, and i'm totally headbanging!!!!
