Spoiler

The red and the black is absolutely amazing. Got me on the first listen. It will probably make into my maiden top 10 of all time.

Spoiler

Yes, except it should be 9 minutes or so )

Spoiler

The title track is filthy...FILTHY. Even on the shorter songs like Death or Glory they are doing something interesting.

Wow just listened to the first disk this thing fucking rocks

I had just been wondering: should we use the spoiler tag for just saying what we think of the album, without describing any part of it?

(Finally) Listening to the album!

Can we say that we're living one of those rare moments in life when an album just seems to be an instant masterpiece and recieves, literally, universal acclaim?

 

[Brigantium]

Fair point, if you're not divulging actual details

I don't think you need to spoiler basic opinions. If you start to discuss in detail, spoilers until the 4th.

The book of souls opened. Last chapter is just awesome.

 

[Demigod_Tyek]

I... I... was... I... too weak.

 

[Severian]

I can't wait to see what @PlayClassics! Thinks of this, i reckon if he hugely dislikes it he's a confirmed troll because just....Wow!

Is there on the net Iron Maiden board where the users discuss free their thoughts?

 

[Hallowedbeme]

I went to my car to listen to IESF. I'm stuck at work & refuse to play them back softly at my desk. Suddenly, I feel ill.

I think it would be better if the people who listen to leaks posted in threads about general album opinions... This one became a mess.

This thread has been a mess since day one.

 

[Brigantium]

It's probably better for this one to be a mess than the ones that are going to stay up long term in the Commentary section

 

[hellishere]

Production wise, BNW is still the best sounding Maiden reunion album.

 

[LooseCannon]

No.

 

[viced92]

Ugh my resistance is falling lower and lower..

Exactly my thoughts too... This thread is null and void now and will not matter anyway once the album is out for everyone. The Commentary section will always be available.

I'm actually glad we managed to keep all BOS talk in here for so long or else everyone would have opened their own threads whenever something came on line.This is madness, but at least controlled madness

 

[Brave New Pilgrim]

This album is why God invented ears.
