I gave WFIKTBD another listen, and wasn't exactly flattened by epic genius.
Some nice moments, I feel a lot of the better riffs are under-developed, and the rest of the time is filled with bog standard drumming and vocals that I find kind of grating.
There are some hints of some really good melodic ideas, but some of the songs seem so short that these chances are wasted, they're a bit choppy in structure and the production hardly makes it any more listenable.
I wouldn't recommend it to someone really. In conclusion, listen to Sea of Madness by Maiden instead, like I am.
