Tyranny of Souls is a bit disappointing. And is it just me or is the intro very Spinal Tap? It reminds me of Nigel stepping up to the mic in the movie with the hood drawn over his head and talking about Stonehenge, especially where he says the bit about 'there lived a mysterious race.... the druids..' (I can't remember the exact wording!)
Don't get me wrong, I love Bruce's solo stuff and as far as I'm concerned having Maiden put out albums plus him doing solo stuff just means we get to hear him twice as much, which is great. I'm just not impressed by this album. As I mentioned in another thread it sounds slapped together.
