War of Worlds

[Perun]

Blabla, explain your votes etc.

My vote goes to Brave New World. As much as I love Blood on the World's Hands for too many reasons to mention, the lyrics on Brave New World are just a bit more cutting and chilling, and the overall feel of the track is perfect.

 

[Mega]

Strange World. One of Dave's best solos ever. Plus it's a really good quite number.

 

[Reumeren]

I can't find anything wrong with Blood on the World's Hands and Different World is a strong tune, but Strange World is something special

 

[Jeffmetal]

Strange World. Because it is really strange and wonderful.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

BNW. All the others are subpar.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I let myself float with the stream and vote Brave New World. The only downside of the song is the repetitive chorus, but several other great Maiden songs have that. SSOASS and No More Lies, for example.

 

[Jonszat]

BNW. Love the intro and the instrumental around the solos.

Different Worlds was second. The vocals in that one are immense especially the last bit "Don't know what I want..."

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

BNW. All the others are subpar.

I just realized, I had my perspective wrong. All the others are par. They're standard Maiden: good, but not great. BNW is great.

 

[Reumeren]

I just re-listened to Brave New World and I'm just in love with Janick's solo but seriousily, that is really good solo. I like the rest of the song too, but like so many have pointed out: the chorus drags out way too long.

 

[Forostar]

If I am honest I might like BNW a tiny bit better, but...

Only one brave soul who voted for Blood On The World's Hands?!

I am going to join that person. Because I think it is a great song. Some of the best riffs and soloing and one of Blaze's best performances. Nicko's rhythm is pretty unique and I really like that bass intro.

 

[Aeolis]

To be honest, I vote for Different World.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Blood on the World's Hands.  Dark and unnerving.  I'd voted for BNW but I'm getting tired of the repetition.

 

[Natalie]

My vote goes to Brave New World, for the reasons mentioned by Perun essentially. The lyrics especially are what distinguishes it from the rest.

 

[Habberdasher]

Easily Brave New World. If that chorus wasn't so repetitive it would be one of Maiden's best ever. On an unrelated note, anyone think that "War of the Worlds" a good song/album title for the next album? Then Maiden could embark on the World War Tour '11. (Which I guess would be the opposite of the World Piece Tour '83.)

 

[Black Thunder]

I voted for Strange World. BNW is too repetitive and boring
