TheMadCap Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Bought this last night. Holy crap, the entire album rocks! There are no "filler" songs on this one, and while not every song would be considered a "classic" maiden song, they are all very enjoyable to listen to. It sounds like an Iron Maiden album from the mid 1980's. I am not sure what happened to these guys, but they sound inspired. Now if they will only play a friggin show in the US outside of New York, Chicago and LA. If you enjoy old school metal, definitely give this one a listen. Best Buy has it for 12 bucks...

/dev/null Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Now if they will only play a friggin show in the US outside of New York, Chicago and LA. 790950[/snapback] I think they played Ozzfest a year or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 I think they played Ozzfest a year or two ago. 791021[/snapback] Ah yes, they did indeed Dev. In fact, that was when Sharon Fuggin skank-bag Osbourne threw eggs at them and cut thier mics to the PA. Something tells me they won't be playing Ozzfest again...

yall Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I second the motion. Great album from front to back. Metal fans should run, not walk to get it. It's interesting too that in 30 years and ~60 million in album sales, this is their 1st album EVER to crack the top 10 on the US Billboard charts. For those interested they'll be close pretty soon... coming to Toronto on October 16th. Here are the other dates... there are a few more in the States aside from NY and NJ, but not many... http://www.ironmaiden.com/homepage.php?sec...=0&subsection=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I'm gonna go out and pick this up. I've been hearing good things. I kind of gave up on Maiden shortly after the Life-giver died and all around was laid waste. I hope you guys are right. If not, you better watch out because the golden goose is on the loose and never out of season, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 On my drive home from work one of the local stations played some Maiden "Run to the Hills" 793321[/snapback] The first single was Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg which was kind of long. The second will be released this week, Different World. Not that you would hear it on the radio mind you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yall Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Just wanted to give this a bump to let those interested know that they are playing all of the new album during the tour. That's right, the whole album, front to back. Toronto, October 16th... see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The first single was Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg which was kind of long. 793658[/snapback] It is not a bad song. I heard it on Sirius this week. Maiden is one of the few bands I have stored in my radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Wow, they have some serious ballz playing the record in its entirety. Start to finish, plus 23:58, Iron Maiden, The Evil that Men Do, Fear of the Dark, and Hallowed be Thy Name. SOme people are already pissed off about that, as they likely want to hear more of the old songs. I say be very fuggin thankful they even come within five hundred miles of your city, I don't have that luxury. Ken, I agree Breeg is a pretty decent song, I am not sure why so many people are down on it. All in all, a terriffic album. Now if I can only catch a show...

I'm pretty sure this is the first tour since 1982 where they haven't done those two songs, and I say it's about time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually never seen them live. I keep missing them. If they come anywhere near Virginia I will this time. For anyone interested, I have a bootleg of the Hartford Show, PM me and I will hook that up for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they're touring with Bodom in the UK. That'd be friggin awesome. Another band I want to see in person is Rammstein. Their live DVD from Berlin is insane.
