Re: Tron's Maiden Countdown!
Ok not 1-2pm then ... Amolad anyone?
#7 - Lord of Light - A mystical intro sounding troubling and terrifying with Bruce ghost like above it all. Then from light haunting sound a huge heartstopping riff and bruce explodes into the fray with power and vibrato on the building
why the slaughter 
, the vocals sound angry and massive with the equal instrumental which continues its complexity behind. The story as with most of the album is dark and troubling
lucifer was just an angel lead astray and i love their ability to do this without sounding like theyre just throwing dark images together in a hodgepodge. it all comes together for the more gentle chorus
give your life to the lord of light.
After this the song dies down through a sudden fade in pace to more melody than pounding soar. More story builds like a prayer to the lord and a warning to us all
free your soul and let it fly before a more stripped down powerful section than began and then the guitars build back up into their inevitable amazing solos through a culmination of drumming and high pitch shreaking guitar work. For me this song and all that follow are perfect now. Free your soul and let it fly
#6 - The Legacy - The perfect closer for amolad and the best close theyve ever made. The beginning is a dark reminder of the horrors of war to atmospheric music that sounds perfect for the collect your dead story we get and summarising the album that has come before it and the section ending with
only time will tell if the scars of war ever heal. Through light plucking we build to the guitars that hit like a very aggressive church organ which is wonderful. A crashing marching beat then takes over and carries Bruces lyrics of hate with a light flowing background carrying
i cant begin to understand..., without a huge crunching riff it creates a powerful sound with a defiant march of horrible war tales that we can all call upon

At 5:34 a more lively pace carries away with guitar melodies intermittantly springing off and driving with the drums, Bruce then returns with his final testimonial
we seem destined to live in fear,
death.. ..becoming a way of life,
they benefit from death and pain and despair really powerful lines in this bit, one can only speculate who the last lines are directed at but that video offers one view
Album #3 - Powerslave -
An iconic album, i even have shoes with the album art on
Spawning some amazing songs like 2 minutes to midnight, powerslave and Rotam aswell as Aces High and losfer words getting honorable mentions. The rest of the songs sit around mediocre for me, nothing special but nothing bad atall. The album has a very distinct sound, the early 80s harsh sound is completely gone and the growing polished sound reaches its peak prior to the more experimental following albums. I love this sound and the soloing is consistently brilliant throughout the album, a big album for the guitars with the music being very centred around them to my ears.
The rest of the band on top form and especially Nicko who also comes forward here for me.
and dark images of us being played as a joke im a jester with no tears... plus smoke and mirrors and the likes is never good in terms of wan...bankers (sorry letter out of place 
Then a pretty dark ending which in he takes someone to death to save them from the insanity he experiences alone. Pretty dark but the character sounds happy, deepening that insane sound (someone needs a padded cell) A very fun song and one where the story does continue and go along a path to a dark finale.
