"The Book of Souls" - Official pre-release thread (CONTAINS ALBUM SPOILERS)

Maybe, but dont forget he heard the album just once, so I think it is not a valid review also.

To be honest most of the times I stand by my initial impression after listening an album once! However it depends on the listener. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and judge for ourselves.

There is always few songs that get better and few songs that I liked at first but lost interest after.

 

[Donner]

I don't really pass judgement on something until after 3 listens. Especially something as long and involved as BOS will be.

I would be interested in hearing your ideas on this rubric and trying it along with you. I've never rated every Maiden tune but have been meaning to. This sounds like a really interesting way to go about it. And because you have experiencing doing the same with visual art, I'd be quite interested in what you would come up with.

Thanks Man. If I have a little time over this next week, I'll make a draft of one and send it on to ya, see what ya think.

So far it seems that disc 2 is the better one

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

Apparently the album has already been delivered to some stores, so I imagine a leak is imminent

That pic is making me drool.

Where did you find this?!

Iron Maiden Memes on Facebook posted it.

Freaking Hell! A whole week before the release @Night Prowler : Maybe you try again tomorrow???!!!

Yep. And it's incredible that they picked basically the weakest song of the album as promo single.

 

[Srogyy]

I hope someone will finally reveal more or less what's inside the deluxe book... I can't decide if I should get one no matter what or pick a standard edition if that's the only thing I'll find in shops.

What a twist, they picked weakest song… For me that was always their game

I'll probably be close to the CD shop again, but to warn you up front: even if I somehow find it, I'm not gonna leak it. Too scared of Rod somehow tracking me down and I'm serious when I say this.

 

[Brigantium]

Rod isn't anywhere near as scary as the record company.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

OMG! A leak could happen any time then!

And check this out:

Final, final reminder to all, don't post links to leaks here, and don't use this forum to tell people where to find the leaks.

OMG! A leak could happen any time then!

And check this out:

That's the schedule from our trip, yes. It didn't quite go to plan. Still a unique experience, though.

 

[Gk1]

Everyone acting like it already leaked. Let me tell you it hasn't!

 

[Meliegree]

I have leak…

Spoiler

that there is no leak.

 

[viced92]

I haven't read a single review about the album. Didn't feel the need to, somehow.

I've stopped looking at them, don't want to be spoiled so much.
