Sounds good! There's only been a few which have really grabbed me right off the bat - Different World, These Colours Don't Run and Out Of The Shadows but I think it'll be a grower. I'm surprised Bruce's lungs didn't explode recording the album - really belting vocals!!! Some of the songs seem very long winded tho.
I know you are not asking me. I have had the CD for about a week now. The songs that are linked on the web page have NOTHING on the rest of the album. This is by far the best Iron Maiden album since 7th son. Yeah its not quite as good IMO as the classic era stuff but who knows, a lot of people believe it is. Bruce sounds amazing. Good production, heavy riffs. Its technical but not too 'progressive' I think its stunning. There are no real fillers on this record. Very complete and semi diverse. The chrouses are amazing. Maybe a little over the top at times with Bruces opera-ish vocals and some choruses repeat a few times too many but other than that he sounds better than he ever has. This album should get great reviews and give a lot of credibility back to Iron Maiden.
Some of the heaviest riffs Maiden has ever done are on this record. I LOVE it! And for me it's not really a 'grower' it was good and blew me away the first listen as I wasn't expecting much from the songs I had heard on their website prior to getting the CD
Its obvious the artist did 0 research when it comes to the military. Especially that crossed rifle emblem. Putting the magazine at the tip of the handguard assembly? Its fucking stupid! LOL
