the least best songs on the album

[Djöfull]

these bug me a little... but they're not that bad
Declaration day
when the Eagle cries

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

When The Eagle Cries (good in the right mood,mostly not),Star Spangled Banner and Greenface...but majority of the songs are good/great so I don't mind.

 

[Lopes]

Greenface and Red Baron, the music and choruses for these songs are killer, but the lyrics are just atrocious. The lyrics in those songs sound like first drafts.

 

[Iced In Flames]

I dont lie the heavy version of Eagle Cries. And I think Greenface is prolly one of the worse Iced Earth songs to date. What the fuck does "Where the metal meets the meat" mean??

 

[anonymousnick2001]

HAH! That's actually a line from the song?

 

[Rottuated]

I dont lie the heavy version of Eagle Cries. And I think Greenface is prolly one of the worse Iced Earth songs to date. What the fuck does "Where the metal meets the meat" mean??

I'm not Jon, but my guess is that since Greenface is a sniper, it means that that his bullet (the metal) will hit the person who he is shooting at (the meat). Some snipers refer to themselves as being one with the bullet when they fire at a target...so, maybe that makes a little more sense.

My least favorite is probably Valley Forge. Everything else I enjoy immensely. I like Valley Forge, but not as much as everything else. I think the Rhythm guitar needed work on this song. The rhythm was just kind of boring to me.

I honestly don't know yet, I have to listen more.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

The Red Baron lyrics are pretty bad at times...but I love Tim's delivery. Most of the lyrics are good anyway.

I'd have to add Valley Forge and Hollow Man to the list. Valley Forge isn't too bad,but I never listen to it. Hollow Man is just kinda uninteresting.

 

[Psychonaut]

The Red Baron feels like an afterthought to the album and sounds a bit weak and redundant. Eagle Cries is probably my least favorite. I'm not really a big fan of ballads. I like Greenface, too.

I singled out these two tracks myself in the Oldschool forum. Mainly for the reason you stated. The Lyrics are horrid!

 

[Rottuated]

I liked the lyrics on Greenface. Red Barons lyrics were pretty good, at least it was historically accurate.

 

[MrMajs]

Red Baron is a killer song!

 

[Rottuated]

Red Baron is a killer song!

I think so too.

 

[Xalon Niles]

I don't like the heavy Ballad version of When The Eagle Cries but I love the unplugged version of the song because of the emotion.

 

[Platinum Maze]

I don't really care for Hollow Man or Valley Forge.

 

[Sydo]

I don't like the heavy Ballad version of When The Eagle Cries but I love the unplugged version.

I agree.
I don't like the heavy version of the Eagle Cries at all, but have always enjoyed the acoustic version.

I quite dislike Attila, it reminds me of Horror Show - but I don't want to get into that.

Declaration Day and Greenface are amongst my fav's.

 

[estranged88]

how can you say that about Greenface! it is the most kick ass in your face track on the album!!


that riff... is so awesome... and owens sounds awesome!

 

[Lopes]

It's just too bad that the lyrics suck.

 

[Rottuated]

It's just too bad that the lyrics suck.

I enjoyed them. They're different.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

The ballads suck. Especially Eagle Cries...WORST IE SONG EVER.
