A Matter of Life and Death..

New Iron Maiden album, what do you think?

Personally I like it alot, better than the last few, and they sound stronger than ever.
Now if we can get these guys to play more US dates!!Haven't seen them since Powerslave.

I like the whole story can't really decide on a favorite song yet.

The thing that boggles me is that I was watching a interview with Steve Harris and he mentioned this album was going back to the sound of Powerslave, personall besides the "epic stories" these songs have there isn't much similar to the PS record.

The band as a six piece work really great now and I hope some of the "nu-metal" lovers take a listen and enjoy the stories that IM tells

Have not picked it up yet.
What would you say it mostly sounds like then?
Older or newer?

Yeah like he said, more "newer" Maiden sound with hints of the past, but the 3 guitar sound has a natural sound as if it has been there since the early years. But overall probably the best they have had in a few albums.
They recorded the whole album in 2 months time, and most was recorded live in studio which is why I think it has that sound.

If you can get it, buy the special version with the DVD. I pre-ordered so for $16 I got the cd,dvd and a t-shirt so even if the album was bad I still got a killer deal

Prefer the film...

I'm not sure about it yet- It certainly has the 'new' Iron maiden feel about it, but nothing will ever beat Two Minuites to Midnight or Run to the Hills

cheers

P.s- The band is LEGENDARY lol

[Politically Incorrect]

If I were to list my favorites

Powerslave
Piece of Mind
Matter of Life and Death
Live After Death (the Rio live album wreaks of bad production)

Then the rest.....

Back when records were still the thing, I got 3 Iron Maiden Picture discs!

The songs on them were::::

1. I got the fire.
2. Remake of "Cross Eyed Mary" by Jethro Tull &
3. Rainbow's Gold.

If I can dig them out of the attic, I will take some pictures of them!


Any of you heard these songs?

[Fly2e]

think my mum or dad has got them locked up somewhere in the attic

that's what happened when my Dad heard me listening to Frank Zappa's J"Joe's Garage" back when i was about 14 or so.

Being a dad now myself, I would have done the same thing!  ;D
