The other two new songs that are available for streaming from www.ironmaiden.com -- discuss

"Different World" sounds a lot like "Rainmaker", for sure a stronger opener than "Wildest Dreams" was, with a nice infectious chorus and rokkin main riff and the very lovable Iron Maiden trademark harmony leads present as fukkkk
 
Breeg is the best of the three I've heard. Different World didn't make much of an impression and BTA Thousand Suns (also a Killing Joke title) was decent. I had hoped this album would be a progression from DoD (which was a progression from BNW), but so far that doesn't look likely. Looking forward to hearing the whole thing.
 
I posted these in an earlier Maiden thread, and Brighter Than A Thousand Suns is excellent, haven't been this impressed with a new Maiden tune since Ghost of The Navigator. Different World is a typical late-period Maiden opener (read: about a tenth the energy level of Aces High or Caught Somewhere In Time), nothing more nothing less...
