• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

For any Iron Maiden fans

There will be more to it than one new track and a cartoon video. There's been a marketing campaign running for months counting down to today, with most people assuming it would be the announcement of a new album

The marketing has featured the figure 17, with their next studio album being their 17th, so I'm still expecting a new album announcement at some point
 
Otherwise, colour me under-fucking-whelmed 🤨

I thought the production sounded horrible but apparently that's a YouTube issue and it sounds better on Spotify. I don't have Spotify, so 🤷‍♂️

I've been a fan since 2002. Their back catalogue got me on first listen but all their new stuff since then has taken a few listens to get into. This is no different

Spotify is brilliant and free if you are happy to put up with ads. Otherwise the subscription is quite reasonable and it means you have access to just about everything ever released. You can make your own playlists and share them with friends. Spotify learns your preferences and offers you daily mixes of stuff you might like. You can download music to your device so you can listen offline. What's not to like?

Sounded fine on the wireless earlier. Good song too I thought.

Tell you what’s not on there, Sabbath’s Headless Cross album , which for a long while back in my formative years as a metal fan was my favourite Sabbath album. Tony Martin’s voice is more than a match for either Ozzy or Dio.

Laurence Cottle from Swansea played bass on that album. 👍 Awesome bass player.

He did indeed. Sabbath were between bass players at the time. Well at the time really it was Iommi plus whoever he fancied to fill in the gaps. Still a great album though.
 
Iommi's autobiography, Iron Man is an interesting read if you haven't read it. He goes through all those lineup changes of Sabbath at the time.

Into the Void is my current favourite track of theirs

Always a bargain bin Sabbath album, good though. I think Lol Cottle played on it.
