replace rush with maiden and prog with heavy metal, and those statements remain valid, with the mention that rush are ~5 years ahead.nfu in the rush thread said:

I like pie.

in your opinion. i enjoyed vapor trails. it was heavier than anything theyd ever done and had some quality tracks in its own right. and geddys voice is probably at its most "classic" sounding and accessible as its ever been. maiden just keeps churning out the same melodies and riffs over and over again. not to mention dickenson's increasingly drab and painful vocals these days.

nine feet and I have already agreed to disagree here, but I think prowler has a valid point here. There is a degree of subjectivity involved that should be appreciated and at the end of the day, if you dig it, it's all good. To my ears, latter-era Bruce Maiden is on a par with what Rush is doing on Test for Echo and Vapor Trails, which I listened to again today btw, see epic upcoming post in the Rush thread.
Kerrang seems to like the new album. I stopped reading Kerrang after they did a story on Marillion and Fish ages ago:

Yeah, I saw that article on the Maiden website. I'm interested.
I've since given Ben Breeg another shot, and I have to admit it's growing on me. Particularly the middle section. The vocals seem a bit to restrained and tired, actually, now that I give it a good listen. I'm hoping the rest of the disc delivers in the way Kerrang seems to think it does.

Listening to it now. It's pretty average. Better than "Wildest Dreams" imo, but that's not too hard. It's certainly no "Where Eagles Dare", "Aces High", or even "Wicker Man". I'm still hopeful...

I was thinking the same thing when I saw a preview for the remake of the Wicker Man. The original is a classic and should be left alone!
A new song is available for a listen at www.ironmaiden.com
Haven't heard it all yet. It's one of the "epic" tracks.... fingers crossed (preparing to be disappointed).

this one ain't horrible. it is also nothing special. it's got some not-so-standard-maiden feel to it at the beginning (the main riff there), but the song gets weak by the middle. i have to admit that bruce can't sing well on the songs on this album. he was way better in brave new world. i like x-factor way better than this new album.
i just heard "different world". it's just so unremarkable. i am sorry to announce that the new maiden is worse than dance of death, which is hard to top in that respect (for maiden) really.
