New Maiden Album

I love Maiden. I've seen them 4 times, the last time being the early 90's. My brother will be sending me this so I can give it a test drive. I stopped buying their stuff. Seventh Son was the last one I bought. They started going through lineup changes, and I stopped following them all together.


But I always have Maiden somewhere around. I think Piece of Mind may very well be in my top 5 favorite albums of all time.
 
Even if it is only 72 minutes long.

Any way I just got it and am reserving my decision until a few more listens because at this present moment it's not done much for me, but that's what I thought of Dance Of Death too.
 
doesn't think you'll be disappointed with this new one, at least pretty sure you won't be.. Thought 7th Son was one of the last best, too, the last good one all the way through was Piece of Mind.
 
Well, I bought it Wednesdy, and have given it a good playing for the last few days. It is pretty, good, right in line with the Maiden I knew and loved for so long. I will say, however, that most of the tracks are slower paced, and overall, the cd has a much more subdued tone.

There are a few moments of the trademark Iron Maiden guitar 'gallops' that you find in songs like The Trooper and Die With Your Boots On, but for the most part, it's more on pace with Children Of The Damned, as far as atmosphere.

It does seem to drag a bit, but make no mistake, it's Maiden, through and through. Good to hear the boys are back.

Up the irons!!!
