GMD Song Survivor: Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind - Round 3

[Vegard Pompey]

I've no doubt that you're all off your heads
You don't say but it's in your votes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that poll
I can't believe you fuckers voted out Still Life, I don't know what to do

Die With Your Boots On and Still Life are eliminated, with 8 and 10 votes respectively. Now that we are down to five tracks, only a single song will be eliminated per round.

The poll will close in three days.

[EspaDa]

To Tame a Land.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Revelations, easily.

 

[Vilden]

So many votes for Revelations

I think The Trooper is, while catchy, the least engaging of the ones left.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I changed mine from Revelations to The Trooper.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The Trooper.

 

[Phylactery]

I also went with The Trooper. Good song, but the weakest of the remaining ones.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Had to go with "The Trooper". While I fully recognize its iconic status, if I'm being 100% honest I have to say that it got overplayed for me years ago. The other remaining tracks are brilliant so its going to be tough going forward.

Christ, I didn't realize To Tame a Land was so overrated. Just because it's long doesn't mean it's great.

 

[no country for old wainds]

such a magnificently unstable and melodically adventurous song. stands out as obviously special/different even in this company.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You have to be a total pleb to not realize every second of To Tame a Land's existence is justified. The lyrics are crap, but it doesn't even matter.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Just because it's long doesn't mean it's great.

LOL

Eh, I find the opening vocal passage too clunky. Maybe that's what you see as "unstable". I do like the extended build-up that makes up the core of the song. The opening/closing melody is adequate, but not up to par with most of the album.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

you guys should all be castrated.

 

[Satanstoenail]

We could pretty much just declare Where Eagles Dare the winner already really.

 

[CiG]

you guys should all be castrated.

Why, do you need a pair of balls?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Nah, several.

 

[EspaDa]

Final clash between Eagles and Icarus will be interesting.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Why, do you need a pair of balls?

what would i need a bunch of low T ball-sacks for?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

To Tame a Land really captures the sense of awe I get reading the source material. Makes me want to fall on my knees in worship. Bruce is the real kwizatz haderach.
