I can't do it, I can't listen to the new Maiden album. It's ruined within the first 60 seconds of the album. This is all I can hear. I am so sorry to any Aussie out there

I'm not gonna lie, this Maiden album is pretty boring. It's better than the last couple, I guess but nothing about it really stands out in any way.

I like when I can spot exactly where bands will rip off other bands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGnhSsxF7Vo&t=70s Hmm, I wonder where I've heard that riff before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5L7GyZeazM&t=48s Edit: unrelated but I really like this kinda stuff even if it's all been done before and it's all just rehashing the same lovely old bands, as evidenced above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ9CYDsEdtM Spanish Manlove fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Sep 4, 2015 |

My favorite underrated/less popular Maiden song is either Stranger in a Strange Land or Still Life

Bruce Kison posted:My favorite underrated/less popular Maiden song is either Stranger in a Strange Land or Still Life gently caress I love Stranger in a Strange Land. Also Wasted Years. I don't know if I'd consider either underrated but they're amazing all the same. I grew up a metalhead in the 80's and all my friends were into metal but only two of my friends were into Maiden like I was. They've been my favorite metal band since Piece of Mind first came out. I can listen to them whenever. I never have to be in a mood to hear them.

Bruce Kison posted:My favorite underrated/less popular Maiden song is either Stranger in a Strange Land This for me. I had such horrible taste in rock/metal in the 80s that I got into Maiden because I went to the Seventh Son tour mainly to see the opening act, Frehley's Comet. Needless to say I was a big KISS fan then. Maiden actually didn't even go on that night, I forget why, and the show had to be rescheduled. At the time I was like, cool, no need for me to come back. Thankfully the dudes I went with convinced me to return, and basically from the first note of "Aces High," when the air cannons blew a wave of pot smoke across my front row balcony seats, and my eyes adjusted to the light in time to see Dickinson's feet touch the stage from his first running leap out of the dark, I decided that I'd been doing metal all wrong. (In my sort of defense I already was listening to King Diamond and Vicious Rumors; for whatever reason even then I saw Maiden as dinosaurs. I knew them foremost for "Run to the Hills" and their then current single, "Can I Play with Madness.") After that show I bought Seventh Son and Somewhere in Time and they've remained my faves to this day. Pretty sure I still have those tapes. On the way to the show that night was also the first time I ever had hunch punch, offered to me out of a milk jug by a skulleted acid head in the passenger seat of a Trans Am being driven by an ROTC cadet who soon after became a stuntman in Hollywood. This was in Georgia. It was pretty much an Archer B-plot except Iron Maiden performed at the end.

It's actually a good opinion because the album gets boring as hell and pretty much all the songs sound the same.

Agreed on overlong songs. Disagree that they're bad songs, or that the album is bad. Agreed that there's other things I'd rather listen to right now, which is really the only part that matters. e: kind of disappointed that a few of the songs keep doing that "yell the title of the song over and over" chorus that they started on Brave New World though Vulture Culture fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Sep 5, 2015 |

The new album isn't bad, it has some good ones and some that are overly long, generic or a combination of both. Its classic Maiden, I don't know why you'd expect anything else tbh.

I finally got my Caladan Brood vinyl and Holy.poo poo. This was worth the $80 I paid to order it from the label in Germany (only place I could find it). This is absolutely the definitive version of this album and I can't recommend you do whatever you can to get it. I'm hearing stuff I never did before, probably mostly because I'm sitting here dedicated to listening to it (one of the reasons I like vinyl) but still, this is an experience. The packaging, layout and artwork just sings in this large format. It's loving beautiful in every way. It comes with 2 Summoning covers along with the actual album so it's 2 records total, lyrics in the gatefold, 2 large posters of Mortal Sword and Shield Anvil, plus a logo sticker.

I'll be (hopefully) picking up the new Maiden album tomorrow, reviews on here seem mixed so I've had a little jaunt round the Internet to see what others think, and it's mostly the same honestly, though the general consensus is that it's better than The Final Frontier. Looks like I'll have to form my own opinion, darn, how annoying. Quite a lot of quotable stuff out there too, as you'd expect - I've tried to restrain myself and pick just the one out, but it's a doozy:
