so far the new Iron Maiden is...

[Baliset]

meh

but hey i am not upset by this at all because it is exactly what i expected.

but then again maybe on the second or third listen more will sink in.

 

[Stultus]

"meh.gif" is an interesting name for this.

I thought Brave New Squirrel was meh too on first listen but now I like it much. But I still don't own this new album.

 

[Baliset]

yeah i find it is dumb to make a hard and fast judgement after the first listen because these were other albums i didn't like on first listen:

Nevermore-Dreaming Neon Black
Iron Maiden-Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Bruce Dickinson-The Chemical Wedding

you get the idea

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah you need enough time to find out how bad it is.
