Spawn, don't blame Kevin - if Steve wasn't happy with the sound then I'm sure he would have made them change it. So blame Steve.

Theres no Maiden album that doesn't have good material on it, so even if its not the best album they've done in ages, I'm sure it will please. I do have a good feeling that it will be as good as if not better than BNW.

Exhibit motherf**king A. A good feeling is NOT a bold statement of fact like I made

I said it like that, so that if it's a fluff of an album full of 'Quest For Fire', 'Can I Play With Madness' and 'The Angel And The Gambler' clones, then it won't come back and bite me on the arse. 
Thats right, whereas I boldly and stupidly made a statement that absolutely NO Australian child will be living in poverty by 1991!
Except if you play with contexts and whatnot.

I could be the politician making stupid promises I can never fulfill, phloggy is the man in damage control fixing any of the quotes and things I have said to sound like they really werent what I said...
Next stop, presidency of the world.

We've got another election coming up, spawny!
Maybe it's time to resurrect your political aspirations such as the Spawny for PM campaign of 2001

Well im glad someone remembers all the work I was doing on their behalf
It seems as though phloggy has gotten a little too ambitious... Time for an executive order methinks...
Dont think ill turn my back on you for a second... I keep my friends close and my enemies closer.
*Makes executive order*
"Ill have an assassination, a bombing and an arms deal thanks"
"Would you like a coup with that?"
"No thanks"
See, if you had given me something to work with in regards the executive order phloggy, my post wouldnt have been as stupid.

And here's to hoping that none of the new songs will be able to be compared to that song too....Originally posted by Spiff
None of the BNW songs has a rousing chorus like Angel & The Gambler, though!
I hate that song
I think Kevin Shirley did a great job recording Brave New World. It sounds great cranked up and you can hear everything well. As for his recording of the drums in particular I really like the drum sound on Brave New World. You can actually hear Nicko's bass drum work for once! I never used to think that much of his drumming, I thought he was ok but nothing spectacular. Then I heard his playing on BNW and thought wow, this is really impressive. I went back and listened carefully to the older albums featuring his playing and it has always been good, but you can't hear the bloody bass drum! Perhaps being a bass player I am used to following or at least listening to bass drum patterns and this is why I appreciate it. I think BNW in some ways has an edgy, more 'live' feel to it than some of the other albums and the drum mix is a big part of that. I remember hearing the production the first time and thinking hmm, that's not what I expected. I was thinking something more along the lines of Seventh Son but with more bottom end would have been good but I like the production now and think it's a great album. In fact I think I might put it on the DVD/CD player now!
I can't wait to hear the new stuff. I think it will be even stronger than BNW now the guys are back together and have an album under their belts with the current lineup.
Has anyone heard any further news about the rumours of Nicko quitting the band because of his religious beliefs? I always thought it was a load of crap anyway!

Nicko will leave the band within the next two years or so. I have it on absolutely no authority whatsoever but it's a gut instinct. He'll quit to become a full-time churchie and make watches with his buddy Dan Spitz.
