[Neptune]

Oh good question I'm not sure! I'm happy as long as Rocky is there lol.

Yeah that's about all I can say. High hopes dashed. I do not like this song.

 

[Neptune]

Yup pretty lackluster…….Too old!

I need to listen to it a bit more. To me it's pretty much where I expected Maiden to go after Book Of Souls. Long songs, story telling and trying to be more epic than they need to be. I think the days of Maiden releasing 3-4 minute songs are over and they want to be story tellers with everything now.

 

[Neptune]

Exactly!

 

[Slammed]

The thing is I don't entirely hate that approach. Some of their stuff drags on a bit but Book Of Souls was over all a great album that spanned 2 discs and about 2000 hours of music. I'm not sure how this current song will sit, and I was already thinking that Balthazzars (or however it's spelled) Feast wasn't really a great name for an album, but I'm still keen to hear the album.

We heard about it months ago and now it's finally coming to fruition. There is no doubt this is a massive collection but holy shit 42 discs is a hell of an investment, in both time and money. I wonder how many they will sell?

It would have been funny if they ignored the Ripper years just to piss him off and feel deleted again

I suppose I need more listens. But what let me down aside from the production was that yes it's long but I didn't find it epic. It just seemed like a song that went on to long.
It doesn't sound much like the Maiden I loved.

Ahahaha! That would be so funny! God that's a lot of discs. Imagine the shipping cost?!

Yeah I kind of think this is the way Maiden have been going. Book Of Souls worked (for most songs) because the stories worked. I'm not sure the story works here yet. It could be that it's not a story suited to Maiden, or that I haven't understood it, or it could just be not told right, I'm not sure yet. I also don't see a connection yet with Bathazars Feast which I guess there only needs to be if the album was a concept album. Maybe there is just too many missing pieces to make a judgement yet, but I do think there has to be more and better pieces to make the album a great Maiden album.

You get a free ship with every purchase
Imagine how long you'd have to put aside to listen to it all!

I was just looking at the specs for that JP box set again and while I'm still not interested in buying it I do like this part of the description

Includes Ross Halfin photos signed by each band member:
Rob Halford
Glenn Tipton

Richie Faulkner
Scott Travis

[Neptune]

No doubt!

That's great! So deserving. I can't wait for the bitch fest!

I think the studio/live albums that have already been released number 29 or something so you have to assume with double albums and lives there's an average of an hour for each of those CDs'. It would probably be fair to assume there close to a 50 hour running time given the rest are made up of live shows and rare studio stuff.

What would be even funnier is if they wiped him off the remasters like Mustaine did with Jnr

I would never get through that lol.
