The Final Frontier-a grower or love at first listen?

[Travis The Dragon]

For the most part, it was instant love.

 

[Suicidehummer]

Well I can't say I love it yet, but I know I will when I figure out what the hell is going on in the last 1/2 of the album...

 

[Revelations85]

For me, some were instant love, and others were growers. For instance, TMWWBK and Isle of Avalon grew on me.

 

[Xodus]

I agree with the above. The shorter tracks in particular were great with their first listen, whilst the longer tracks took 3-4 listens to really show their true form.

 

[Black Thunder]

4th option

TMWWBK & TA took me awhile to get into, but it was worth while 

Even if they are my 2 least favorite songs from TFF, I love them 

In fact, I love every TFF track!

 

[Sjeske]

Instant love for me!! Great album!! Almost an instant classic! 

 

[The Flash]

It's a good album for me after 2-3 listenings. But I predict it will be a great album for me after 8-9 listenings. "Great" will be the peak of this album.

 

[IRONfear]

I loved it instantly, the first song I listened to was The Man Who Would Be King and I was blown away.

 

[The Flash]

It's a good album for me after 3-4 listenings. But I predict it will be a great album for me after 8-9 listenings. "Great" will be the peak of this album.

I listened the whole album after that post 5 times. I will say it's best album of 2000's Iron Maiden. That reach the great level and passed it. That's an "amazing" album.

sounds awesome first times around, only the intro to sat 15 threw me off abit but ill come around.

 

[adolson]

Instantly loved a lot of the songs, despite how different a lot of it felt at first. There were maybe 3 songs I didn't love after the first day. After the second day, I had cut it down to TMWWBK and IOA, and after the third day, I loved it all.

In a week or two, I should know if I prefer it over AMOLAD or not (which was all completely insta-love for me, personally).

 

[Invader]

Most songs didn't hit me first, except a few parts that just made me go "what" or "wow".  The Talisman and the title track I liked at first listen, the rest are steadily growing. 

 

[snake plissken]

I was blown away. From Mother of Mercy in I was enthralled. Amazingly, the more I listen to it the more I love it. So much depth.

 

[Murder89]

Mother Of Mercy, Coming Home and WTWWB were love at first listen.
The rest still have to grow on me.
