Yes, a comprehensive update 3 or 4 years before they may retire is unlikely. I'm just amazed that their basic marketing model, forged 30 - 40 years ago, has seen them this far. There's some validation in that for sure.
Yeah fair point. I didn't consider that.
And there's nothing wrong about that but we shouldn't be dismissive about that. Standards has changed.
Speaking of low bitrate and sound issues, there is not one single Maiden release when after someone listens to a leaked version: "hey, the sound is sh..t, this is probably just a low quality release" or "this is a raw mix version, the album version will be much better" (!) then the album is released and everyone like: "WTF?!" LOL
I buy both formats but Vinyl is expensive and less convenient so sometimes I will opt for CD. I've not noticed as much compression in recent years compared to the loudness wars of the mid 00's. With the majority listening on streaming services which can auto-level your volume, artists are less fussed about having the loudest album in the jukebox and more dynamic range seems to be coming back in today's masters.
I would love if he brings back the King V guitar from TEH tour. He debuted the White V last year, so there is a chance.
That's an amazing cat!
That literally happened on this forum with the El Dorado single.
Indeed, it's part of the pleasure. We've been given the info (songs length and names of composers) which allow us to try and figure out what the songs will sound like. That's OK for me, and I want the excitment to slowly rise, without any leak.
Yeah I totaly agree. The last album came six years ago, and we dont know if there will be another. So I really wanna enyoy this time, this album and everything. And I mean its less then a month left, time goes so quickly. I wish some people would calm down
It's likely someone in the Maiden camp has suggested new ways and Rod and the boys say "nope, we're good" and stick to what they've done.
