Traditional Metal

[Omni]

It has good songs that are hindered by pretty bad sound.

 

[CiG]

How fucking low are those vocals? God damn.

 

[Omni]

They should consider remixing it and releasing it again. I would probably buy it again.

 

[CiG]

Yeah so would I.

 

[Krow]

So people are saying The Book of Souls is Maiden's best album since 7th Son. And people I'll say, that I expected to have nothing positive to say about it at all.

 

[The Ozzman]

Did it leak already?

 

[Krow]

Yes.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I think it's crap fwiw.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I bet it's pretty average, like their last 8 releases.

We aren't talking about Manilla Road tho

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Ouch.

 

[CiG]

We aren't talking about Jungle Rot tho

Btw, cassette, because I saw you post it a while back, I was jamming Johnny Touch in my car a few days ago, as good as I remembered it to be. Great album.

Brilliant!
Australia needs more bands like Johnny Touch who honour the olde Gods of Metal but aren't afraid to put their own spin on it.

Not that I'm against meat'n'potato Metal, one of my favourites is Convent Guilt right now.

Cassetteisgod laughs at your four winds!

New Maiden seems pretty lame. Might still be better than the last one. Opener's cool, 18-minute closer sucks.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Yeah, the first song seems way above the rest of the album after two listens. The middle of the album (end of disc 1/beginning of disc 2) is awful, one of the worst stretches they have.

 

[EspaDa]

What are other people opinions on that 18-minute closer which was supposed to be epic?

 

[The Ozzman]

Too bad it's the wrong genre for the thread.

 

[CiG]

Have you guys heard Outcast from Australia?
