For any Iron Maiden fans

[BLAZE]

I've spent far too long on Planet Swans and forgot that the autists on the Maiden forum don't necessarily appreciate stiff debate

Ive just got myself banned from the forum and likely kicked out of their fan club too

I put forward the suggestion that Dickinson sounds awful these days

Carnage.

Fair play Blaze, if you are going to do it...go big.

Another ban incoming I think... The hobbits on the Maiden forum are on patrol waiting for the album to leak

So I started a thread...




"IT HAS LEAKED!!"

I fully anticipate death threats

Is it me or are the vocals really low in the mix on the new song?

No it's not just you. They don't want to spend the time needed in the studio to release a polished product so chuck it down in two weeks and claim they were going for a 'live feel'

The other tracks have finally leaked onto YouTube. They sound awful though so I'm gonna wait until Friday and hope it's just a shitty quality upload

 

[BLAZE]

So my opinion has gone from "what is this shite!?" to "f*ck me this is good" between the 1st and 5th listen. Maiden has never been an easy listening band but this takes that to another level

Enjoyed this album on first listen, caught the end of Bruce chatting on PlanetRock yesterday I’m sure he mentioned UK dates, but can’t see anything online other than Download next year.

I think he was talking about his “An Evening With Bruce Dickinson” tour. Was expecting a bit more from the Planet Rock show. Like what the songs were about. Instead got Steve Harris saying stuff like, “Some people will moan about the length of this song, but I think it’s the right length” for The Parchment. Thanks for that wonderful insight…. At over 12.5 minutes, it did sound a bit monotonous on the first listen. Time will tell on that one. Not many long songs stand the test of time, but if they do, they are pretty epic.

Still haven’t had a chance to listen to the whole album. Like Blaze, it takes me a number of listens to get into new stuff. Writing on the wall has definitely grown on me now. Like the opening (title track) on first listen. But sometimes the stuff I like straight away, I get bored of quickly.

From what I’ve heard so far, Bruce’s voice sounds strained on some songs and good on others. Maybe it’s some of the notes he struggles with these days. As ECB said, the vocals are a bit low in the mix.
