Listening to Dance of Death... the song...

Me too have listened a lot to this song to try to appreciate it. I like it a lot, but the more I listen to it the more similarities I find with other songs. Guitar solos and harmonies are almost the same as Brave new world notes for notes, and the beginning, like you said sound a lot like blood brothers.
I think the album will be very good if the other song are in the same style, a bit Xfactor influenced. I like it.
 
I downloaded a song claiming to be "New Frontier" from the new CD. The vocalist sounded like Bruce, but it was a really weak song. I hope it's not really the song it claims to be.
 
Yeah, true, they don't have to be instant classics to be good...
Bruce's voice sounds like the Chemical Wedding, so I'm not complaning...
More Bruce songwriting would be best for me, but this record doesn't have enough of it... but again, I'll reserve full judgement until I have the complete package in me grubby hands...
But by the looks of it, Steve needs to let go of the reins a little bit... The beginning of Dance of Death sounds like something out of a Spinal Tap record...
"Let me tell you a story to chill your bones"?? Stonehenge, anyone? LOL
 
Yeah that line is terrible, but the rest is cool. I like this part

"when you're lying in your sleep
when you're lying in your bed
when you wake from your dreams
and you're dancing with the dead"
