The Ultimate Album #17 Fantasy Contest Thread

Randalf

Ancient Mariner
If you're familiar with The Ultimate LOTB Setlist Thread, you know the basic idea. This time, since it's about the next album, it'll be a slightly more complicated with more variables coming to play.

Rules and scoring are the following:

*Try to predict the title, structure (songwriting credits, song lenght etc.) and release date of the album #17.

SCORING

You'll get points from...

*Correct album title (10p) or album title with correct nouns (1p per noun, max 5p)
Example A: let's travel back to Ed-Huntour era:
- Actual album title: Brave New World
- Contest entry: World of Chaos -> 1p from the "World"

*Correct release date/month/year
- You'll get 5p if your entry has the correct release date (if global differences occur, we'll go with the UK release date)
- You'll get 3p if your entry has the correct release month/year combination
- You'll get 1p if your entry has the correct release year

Examples with actual release date being 6th Oct. 2020
1) Your entry has 8th Feb. 2020 as release date -> 1p from a correct year
2) Your entry has 20th Oct. 2020 as release date -> 3P from a correct month/year combination

*Correct count of songs, songwriting credits, song position, song titles and song lenght
- You'll get 1p if your entry has the correct total amount of tracks; possible intros or such separated as individual tracks count here as well, even if they're directly linked to a succeeding or preceding song.

Example: your entry has 9 songs and the actual album has 9 as well -> 1p

- You'll get 1p from every correct songwrigint credits combination, regardless the actual running order and extra +1p if the correct credits appears in a correct spot
- If you get the opening and/or closer track credits and/or running time correct, you'll get the points regardless the total amount of songs

Example:
- your entry has three songs credited to Smith/Harris and the actual album has two songs credited to Smith/Harris-> you'll get 2p from two correct credits
- one of the mentioned song entries is the opening track and the actual opening track on the album is indeed credited to Smith/Harris -> +1p per correct credits on a correct spot.

- You'll get 1p from every correct track running time entry with < 30 sec. rounding up to next full minute and >30 sec. rounding down to a previous full minute
- You'll get +1p if a correct song running time appears on correct position

Example:
- Album has three songs with a running time between 6:00 and 6:30, one of them being the opening track
- Member X's entry has the opening track with 6:00 running time-> 1p+1p
- Member Y's entry has the opening track with 5:37 running time -> 1p+1p
- Member W's entry has three song entries with a running times between 6:00 and 6:30 but none of them are in the correct position -> 3p

- You'll get 5p from every correct song title; the noun-rule from the album title does not apply here, however.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO AFTER THE ALBUM #17 ANNOUNCEMENT:

Actual album:

Title: They'll Never Play it Live
Release date: 12th December, 2020

1. The Light of Freedom (Smith/Harris) 6:24 -> 6min
2. The Evil That Once Was (Smith/Dickinson) 5:39 - 6min
3. Deceased Kingdom (Gers/Harris) 7:56 -> 8min
4. Don't You Think I'm a Saviour (Harris) 13:46 -> 14min
5. The Heretic (Gers/Harris/Dickinson) 5:25 -> 5min
6. The Torturer (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 8:00 -> 8min
7. Am I Sloppy? (Gers/Harris) 5:13 -> 5min
8. Crowley's Crown (Dickinson) 5:11) -> 5min
9. Mother of All Gallops (Murray/Harris) 4:21 -> 4min
10. Don't You Think I Could Save Your Life (Harris) 6:45 -> 7min

Entry (not-too-serious example from the album speculation thread)

Title: I Hope You're Wrong
Release date: 20th January, 2020 = 1p

1. The Light in the Abyss (Smith/Dickinson) 6:13 -> 6min 1p+1p+1p (six minute song 1/2 in a correct position+songwiring credits 1/1) = 3p

2. The Torturer (Gers/Harris) 4:35 -> 5min 5p+1p+1p (correct song title+5min song 1/3+G/H songwriting credits 1/2) = 7p

3. Worth the the Fight (Smith/Harris) 6:24 -> 6min 1p+1p (six minute song 2/2 + songwriting credits S/H 1/1) = 2p

4. After the Storm (Gers/Harris/Dickinson) 7:47 -> 8min 1p+1p (8min song 1/2 + G/H/D songwriting credits 1/1) 2p

5. The Child Who Lost His Way (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 6:47 -> 7min 1p+1p (7min song 1/1 + S/H/D songwriting credits 1/1) = 2p

6. Abbey of Thelema (Dickinson) 7:03 -> 7min 1p (Sonwriting credits D 1/1) = 1p

7. The Well of Tears (Murray/Harris) 6:45 -> 7min 1p (songwriting credits M/H 1/1) = 1p

8. Night of Reckoning (Smith/Harris) 5:03 -> 5min 1p+1p (5min song 2/3 in a correct position) = 2p

9. Those Who Look Upon... (Harris) 9:32 -> 10min 1p+1p (songwriting credits H 1/1 in a correct position*) = 2p

*= album closer

Total score: 22 points

----------------------------------------------------------

Any feedback is welcome; are the rules and scoring a tad bit too confusing? Is there something you don't get or something you'd like to fix? Share your thoughts - I'm not a native English speaker so I might have explained some aspects of the rules rather poorly.

Prize?

Maybe I'll try to do a heavily stripped down vanilla version for general use, just in case someone wants to give it a shot, and expand the current one to cover lyrics, cover art and whatever, just for Diesel. ;)

Background:
While flying over the Bermuda Triangle, Bruce Dickinson runs into engine troubles. He manages to get to the Miami harbor before things finally conk out and he crashes into the ocean. He manages to survive, but is left recuperating for months on end. This sends a wake-up message to the band - they aren't getting any younger, and with the likelihood of one of them dying only increasing with each day, Steve Harris takes the initiative to start working on album #17. Over the phone, Bruce agrees to write one song himself during his hospital stint, and he'll just come in to record the vocals while the rest of the band finishes up there stuff.

Thanks to strict rules about visiting hours at Bruce's hospital, Adrian finds that his writing partner won't be able to join him at all this time around, so he tells the rest to do whatever and he'll try to come up with something for whatever direction they end up taking. Dave and Nicko are just in it for the ride anyway, so that leaves Steve and Janick to come up with music for the album. At first they think that writer's block will get the better of them, until they play Virtual XI randomly and start reminiscing about how much fun it was to write that album. Up comes the grand idea to take one of the songs from that album and use it as inspiration for a full-fledged rock opera opus.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you St. Gambler.

1. Savior

Take my gut, it's hard shards
Take this shit and make it clean
Take my eyes for what they've seen!

Let me free, let me roam in peace

9. Slaughtering Daughters... Again
(Dickinson | 5:30)
Honey, I stepped out into the night
Trying to catch the late-night show
You know you oughta lock your doors
Because the men like to have a row
All your demons, all your wisemen
We stand in the corners with smiles
Try to run, try to hide
You know we'll take you away tonight!

Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
We did it once before, now we're back for more
Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
I'm in a band with deranged psychos
If they take the Gambler, then lemme bring my daughter to the slaughter once again

I see you crawling under the door at midnight
You know your appearance gave me such a fright
All the men in town like to take a look
But I'm the only one
Who can get his hands inside
The mirror image of my mind
Listen, cuz tonight we're gonna be

Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
We did it once before, now we're back for more
Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
I'm in a band with deranged psychos
If they take the Gambler, then lemme bring my daughter to the slaughter once again

I guess you could say I'm a powerslave
But I had a revelation like the flash of a blade
The song was like an empire made from clouds
Our number one hit, top of the pyre
Lemme throw it into the funeral pyre!

Scream for me!

Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
We did it once before, now we're back for more
Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
I'm in a band with deranged psychos
If they take the Gambler, then lemme bring my daughter to the slaughter once again
Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
We did it once before, now we're back for more
Slaughtering! Daughters! Agaaaaain!
I'm in a band with deranged psychos
If they take the Gambler, then lemme bring my daughter to the slaughter once again

Fuck my life.

Wot ho said the ting

Jump into the fire

Falling from the sun
To the earth below
Leave the rodents to take control...

So you thought that we would be set free
You thought wrong, you thought wrong

It's all wrong, it's all wrong
Overrunning the shorelines
Overpopulation reaches our decline
Now we're left like a landmine
Exploding to implode
Fucking gone for good

11. Accident Of Maiden
(Harris / Gers | 7:10)
I've been abused, I've been sued
I've been mistreated, I've been misconstrued
I know that you've got a bad opinion of me
Lemme tell you, plagiarism ain't easy

It's so hard being rich
It's so hard getting that dough
Gotta help myself
Gotta keep myself
Make your own damn money
And get away from mine

Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just wanna see your blood
I just wanna stand and stare
See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Steve Harris can't be fought
Steve Harris can't be caught

I've been abused, I've been sued
I've been mistreated, I've been misconstrued
I know that you've got a bad opinion of me
Lemme tell you, plagiarism ain't easy

It's so hard being rich
It's so hard getting that dough
Gotta help myself
Gotta keep myself
Make your own damn money
And get away from mine

Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just wanna see your blood
I just wanna stand and stare
See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Steve Harris can't be fought
Steve Harris can't be caught

I've been abused, I've been sued
I've been mistreated, I've been misconstrued
I know that you've got a bad opinion of me
Lemme tell you, plagiarism ain't easy

It's so hard being rich
It's so hard getting that dough
Gotta help myself
Gotta keep myself
Make your own damn money
And get away from mine

Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just wanna see your blood
I just wanna stand and stare
See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Steve Harris can't be fought
Steve Harris can't be caught

I've been abused, I've been sued
I've been mistreated, I've been misconstrued
I know that you've got a bad opinion of me
Lemme tell you, plagiarism ain't easy

It's so hard being rich
It's so hard getting that dough
Gotta help myself

Won't you come into my room

12. Mission From Rod
(Harris / Dickinson | 10:19)
Up up on Huddersfield Hill
Lives the great Roddy Doddy
A sod if I ever knew one
Said he manages a band, he does
Bloody 'ell, he never even took personal finance in high school
Lord of the manor, great importance
Step inside because St. Gambler's on a mission from Rod

Hey, hey, hey now baby
Won't you look my way
Hey, hey, hey now baby
The sheriff comes your way
Ooh, you may not understand
You may try to pretend
But there's no turning back
It's the heart attack

Hey, hey, hey now baby
Rod is lookin' for you
He's only got a small wood
But he can still make do
It's not the size of your shlong
But what you do with it
If you're lookin' for a man
Then he's where you can get it

No, don't ask me where I've been
No, don't ask me why I speak
No, if you wanna know the reason why

#IBlameRod
#IBlameRod
#IBlameRod
#IBlameRod

Hey, hey, hey now baby
Don't panic, don't fret
It's just the beginning of the night
You'll get yours yet!
In the evening when the sun don't shine
Rod is out, plenty of time
To take a look, say hello
Ask thrice to stop or go

No, don't ask me where I've been
No, don't ask me why I speak
No, if you wanna know the reason why

Oooh, all the things I could do
If I had a little Smallwood
It's the Huddersfield world

Hey, hey, hey now baby
Don't panic, don't fret
It's just the beginning of the night
You'll get yours yet!
In the evening when the sun don't shine
Rod is out, plenty of time
To take a look, say hello
Ask thrice to stop or go

No, don't ask me where I've been
No, don't ask me why I speak
No, if you wanna know the reason why

#IBlameRod

Open up your doors
Roll down the windows
Ask me what I mean

Post-Script: This is the worst thing I have ever made. I hope someone gets something out of this, because I sure didn't.
 
I mean like, what was your thought process behind the ''slop'' line in 'Minnesota Blues'?

I’m shocked that you didn’t just call this “The Apparition II” and have a lyric “now I’m an apparition too...”
That’s because it’s not “The Apparition II”, it’s the “Return of Your Ghost”. Your refers to MaidenFans, most of whom hate “The Apparition”. It’s that song returning, but this time it’s also absolutely horrendous.
