TFF Songs In Order of how you like them

1. Starblind
2. Isle of Avalon

4. Coming Home
5. The Man Who Would Be King
6. The Alchemist
7. The Talisman
8. Mother of Mercy
9. Satellite 15... The Final Frontier
10. El Dorado

Not really a fair list since Starblind, Avalon and WTWWB are basically tied for first. Every song except El Dorado is exceptional in its own way. That's what I love so much; not a single filler. Starblind is an absolute masterpiece. Whatever review it was that called it filler is a joke.

Only listened to each of them two or three times though, i'm sure it will change tomorrow.  :bigsmile:
 
1) Starblind (in my top 15 list of Maiden songs)
2) When the Wild Wind Blows (absolutely LOVE the part from 3:30-9:00. kinda reminds me of ROTAM)
3) The Talisman
4) The Man Who Would Be King
5) The Alchemist
6) El Dorado
7) Isle of Avalon
8. Mother of Mercy
9) Satellite 15/The Final Frontier
10) Coming Home

When I heard the El Dorado single, I thought that would be the best for me. After AMOLAD, I didn't have too high expectations because of the number of long songs. I thought there would be a lot of repetitive chorus's and a lot of slowdowns, but as others have said, they are ENERGETIC and don't feel long at all. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. This exceeds my wildest dreams (no pun intended).
 
1. El Dorado - one of 2 songs that doesn't have a boring part, sounds like classic Maiden without being derivative
2. Satellite 15... Final Frontier - the 1st part is the most original thing Maiden have done in at least 20 years ,  the title track has the most energy on the whole album
3. Mother of Mercy - this is the one i find myself singing along to most
4. The Talisman - the second half of this song is pretty great, but the overlong intro with Bruce singing the same melody as the music is getting tired
5. Coming Home - Revelations this is NOT
6. Starblind - pretty average, the lyrics remind me of Rush, specifically Freewill
7. When the Wild Wind Blows - this song has 2 major problems, 1) the tone of the music does not match the heavy subject matter; 2) for a song that's 11 mins it's not that complex
8. The Man Who Would Be King - yet another slowly building song that goes on forever
9. Isle of Avalon - possibly the worst Maiden lyrics ever
10. The Alchemist - really? this song is less than half-assed. quarter-assed. More fodder for the anti-Janick crowd

For all of you who's blood is boiling now, please relax, these are but one man's opinions. I do like the top 5 a lot, and this may be Adrian's finest album since SIT, but after a promising beginning, the second half of this album could have benefited from some substantial editing, and perhaps a bit more time to coalesce. I think this is my least favorite of the 4 post-reunion albums.
 
I'm still pretty new to this album after hearing it for the first time on Tuesday.  This is the first Maiden album in a long while to really require me to listen multiple times to get.  Anyway, here's how I see it-

1.  Starblind
2.  The Talisman
3.  Isle of Avalon
4.  Coming Home
5.  The Man Who Would Be King
6.  When The Wild Wind Blows
7.  The Alchemist
8.  Mother of Mercy
9.  El Dorado
10.  Satellite 15...The Final Frontier
