Spoiler

So this was recorded in the same studio that they did BNW. I Definitely has the same sounding production

Spoiler

If they ever record more studio albums after this, they definitely need to record them all there. Easily the best sound they've had since BNW.

Then where are those metrolyrics from? Is it part of someone's resume?

 

[Stan]

Lame question. How do I add spoiler tags properly?

 

[Hallowedbeme]

Man, I have no idea where to get it, any clues?

 

[WickerMan601]

Okay, after finding the leak I told myself I would just check it out, listen once to get a feel for it and then get it at Best Buy tomorrow. But now I've listened to it 5 times and I can't stop. Help me.

IT's buried here somewhere but you can put:

at the end, but a / ....

An update on the chat mess... it appears our chat server won't let us get over 12 connections via kiwi and mibbit total. If you have something like mirc and know how to use it, that's the best bet.

Our apologies... we didn't realize this would happen. Our chat isn't behaving right.

I think this song would have sounded much better if it was a bit faster

 

[Stan]

Wasted and Jeffmetal: thanks, I got it.

using the square brackets [ and ] instead of parentheses:
(spoiler) stuff here (/spoiler)

 

[Wästed The Great]

ok, sorry. [ ] with the word spoiler in it

 

[Hallowedbeme]

im lost lol

 

[Wästed The Great]

yeah, I don't recall, but think Shadow had a 'code' written

 

[Wästed The Great]

spoiler in [] (they keys kinda above enter) and /spoiler in brackets too.

Spoiler

Judging by reviews, I have a feeling it sucks. It's not as speedy as the title suggests. Plus I don't like Deep Purple (except Perfect Strangers) or Devil On A Hog.

It doesn't suck. At all. However you might not like it.

Spoiler

Again, it's also rather reminiscent of Dio-era Black Sabbath.

Spoiler

I think that whoever wants a new Wickerman would be really disappointed. The song is so different to what we heard from Maiden up to now. It's got the H cool factor. I was so tired of the happy sing along choruses. This is metal,heavy,riffy and well played.

 

[Collin]

It's so good I've listened to it 19 times already.
