Well, questionable probably, but definitely looks better than Dance of Death.

This just in: lyrics from the new album (got it from some other forum):

I am not impressed by this song and I'm a huge Maiden fan. That song has one cool riff and that's about it.

Maiden's HUGE!!!

and this new albums Rocks!!

\m/

So anyone got this? I just finished listening to it through for the first time,and while it may not throw up any incredible surprises, it does seem for the most part pretty strong. There's some bits that I'm not too sure about: the opening song Different Worlds didn't grab my attention all that much, and I'm still not too keen on The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg, but it's starting to grow on me a little bit. It's really hard for me to listen to this album in an unbiased way though, seeing as Dance Of Death is my favourite Maiden album that I own, and so at the moment I'm just comparing the two. What does anyone else think of it?

I've listened the album a couple of times now and it definitely still has to grow on me. When I listen the whole album it's still all sort of a blur, not really a song that stands out a lot, although I very much liked Brighter Than A Thousand Suns ever since the first listen. But I haven't had the time to listen to the album with all my attention yet either.

I will see Maiden live in 2 months from now, by that time I certainly have a better opinion about the album :).

Without a doubt this album is a grower some very strong songs on there,i wouldint say its there best album IMO there best was seventh son but its a good album and ill go see them in december when they play here....i think i read somewehere that there goin to play the whole album live i think i was bruce that said it

Awesome album, much better than Dance Of Death although nothing on here quite reaches the heights of Paschendale. Much less patchy than recent efforts and full of classic songs The Longest Day, Brighter Than A Thousand Suns and For The Greater Love Of God are early favourites.

Their best album since Bruce returned to the band. The guitars are awesome (as they always are) and the production is much better than before. For the Greater Good Of God is a classic. I just love the way they have changed over the years. More progressive and the music has so many layers in it. Love the album, love the band.
