Wait, you also forgot "This sounds like Maiden and not some proggy thrash band with blast beats. They obviously don't care."

Well, sometimes the more you criticize something the more you enjoy it. Like raising your child )You LIKE the album? Hahaha, said by a guy who edits the album in audio programs....And who uses words like disgusting and whiney to describe tracks...Yeah, sure you do
"The chorus is probably the most disgusting thing about the album"
"Too much AMOLAD in it. And whiney vocals. I already knew from the reviews it was to be the worst track."

Exactly, me too, so I think it is OK to call @blindg3 out on some horrible posting in this thread that has shit fuck to do with anything
And now. No more words on this from me.

It was already posted. Great review that echoes a lot of my thoughts.
The part about hyperbole resonated with me. I tried to describe the album to a coworker who is also a Maiden fan. It's hard to put into words what this music is like. It's similar but different to anything they've ever done. I just told him, "it's fucking incredible."

Good review. I don't recall seeing a bad review yet (from the press, that is).

This doesn't necessarily have anything to do what anyone has said in this thread, but I'd just like to point out that I like the idea of a double album. I don't see changing CD as a problem, since both CDs are quite long by themselves. They're both about the length of SSOASS, and i never had an issue taking out that CD and changing it for SIT, or whatever it might be. I actually like it, because it gives a breather and is something new for Maiden, which adds something unique to this already amazing experience.
And if the band would think they should shorten down the album to fit it into a single CD, it would interfere with the artistic creativity. The art is created from the soul and a result of the band releasing their inner creativity. To start cutting in that would be to hold back what their mind intended to be the actual piece of work.
