This new album is gonna be a lot more progressive than the previous ones, I'm guessing. Steve commented on it, saying something like, ''this is the kind of music i always wanted to hear, i would go out and buy it, etc.'' ...i think the exact quote is somewhere on here, I'm not sure. Also, they chose Dream Theater as an opener, so this may be a hint. 8 songs, 79 minutes long. Steve's long moody intros, janick's sloppy solos, 4 songs about war, 2 about the meaning of life, nicko not writing anything, kevin shirley's lame muddy production.

I kind of hope that's not the case. Albums like that make it a chore for me to get through. Must be my short attention span.

Quite frankly I'd rather blow-torch my nipples off than listen to an album like AMOLAD (but worse by the sounds of it). It's not progressive or epic, it's just slow. Why can't they just do what Scorpions did, what they do best! More songs like The Wicker Man and less like For the Greater Good of God!

I love all the new Iron Maiden albums. Especially "Dance of Death".

I welcome another album in this mold!!!





And if choosing Dream Theater is any indication of the new album ... I'm all over it! I love Dream Theater!!!

Brave New World was the best, the other two got progressively worse. So the next one will be poop, at least my expectations are low, it might be good!

I hate to say it, but I agree with that statement. Maybe not "worse", but definately boring. I'm going into this next album with very low expectations.

A long time ago, I was on a Maiden forum and people were posting re-written lyrics of maiden songs with a funny yet sick twist. And that if I can recall correctly, was one of those lines. I can't find the entire lyrics, but from what I remember they were really funny.

OK. Enjoy your joke by all means.

The problem with AMOLD is that they didn't even master the album. So the sound is just crap on it. Steve's decision to do that was not very good, at least in my eyes. Shirley himself is a pretty good producer (not their best though) but that raw sound they tried to get by doing that backfired. It's a shame as there are some real good things going on with the album itself.

Do not really like MAIDEN, never did and never will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree as well. I love A Brave New World and enjoy most of Dance of Death but sadly I sold/traded my A Matter of Life and Death. It did nothing for me.

Too much weight lifting has warped your mind!!!!!

Ha. I lift and I love AMOLAD better then the other two.

I'll say it again for the third time this thread.....BNW, DOD, and AMOLAD are the 3 best Iron Maiden albums. The 80's are over kids, time to listen to grown up music.

Looking forward to their upcoming release.

Same here! Any release date yet?

Before the tour starts in July, they will announce the cover and tracklist I think on the 10th of July, I'm not sure. The album, I read somewhere, was scheduled to be released in late August.

Does anyone think Maiden should re-work / re-record Virtual IX?

The album I think needs to be given a better chance. They've already shown the world how great this material can sound with the current line-up, I mean the Clansman is just amazing and Futureal w/ Bruce is also a good number.

But I think the whole album needs to be reworked - the songs have potential it's just that they seem a little incomplete at times.

Dude, for years I've been hailing "Dance of Death" as my all time favorite and best Iron Maiden album! I usually get mocked or jeered. Nice to know someone else recognizes it's greatness. Cheers mate!

Going to barnes and noble today gonna see if i can find Brave New World or the GH MB Recommended
