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

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Why do you guys even need to get an Mp3 version of the album, when you can just rip the CD? Especially if it costs more.

Shut up NP, we're talking digital music downloads here!

No, seriously: I have a US account with no credit card info assigned to it. I did have to make up an address though. I've had both a UK & US account for years. They used to be tied, but now they have separate log-ins. Either way, you can definitely buy vouchers in dollars with a UK credit card & have the balance in your US account.

I'm just going to buy my music on itunes US like I always do

Looks like I used Amazon vouchers, it was HMV I used to use PayPal for.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I see claims saying the album leaked on Amazon. Is there proof that actually happened?

Maybe your getting mixed up in your old age. Are you sure you weren't thinking of Woolworths?

You mean album info? Because it did leak on Amazon.

 

[Brigantium]

The album title and cover art appeared on Amazon first, is that what people are talking about? Someone posted a link on this forum before the official announcement.

 

[Maturin]

And everybody thought it was a fake...

Well, the titles are, as was said (by Ariana first), very Stardusty.

Ah yes, I see now. That's pretty wild that happened!

If you look through the Studio Album #16 thread, you'll see how it happened. Someone say it posted on another site and came here to tell us

 

[Travis The Dragon]

It's still pretty wild that it got leaked on Amazon like that.

Here's an interesting little fact. TBOS is the FIRST Maiden album EVER where EVERY song has at LEAST 3 words in the title.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

You're right! It doesn't have a single two-word title where the first word is "The". This is rare for Maiden albums - except for the Dance of Death album, every album after Somewhere in Time has at least one. NOTB, POM and Powerslave also have them.

"The Bestfuckinmaidensongever". It's there. We just don't know which one yet...

It would take quite something to beat the Hallowed Mariner.

 

[harrisdevot]

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Perun]

True, but if there's one band who has what it takes, it's Maiden.

I think gor meant that information about the album leaked, rather than the songs themselves
