I think it's a good album but all of the songs are sort of middle range Maiden songs. There's no real stand out pieces on it.[/QUOTE]

S/T, Public enema#1, fates warning,holy smoke, run silent run deep, mother russia. Plenty of good standout tracks IMO.

But i agree with PAJJ about production and progression of the tracks.
It sounds like janick used his most old and rustiest string for this album =/

1. Piece Of Mind
2. Brave New World
3. Somewhere In Time
4. Dance Of Death
5. Powerslave

"Invadersssss do do do do do do....de do de do de do."
Just got this album. Its awesome.

I really, really, really like Invaders. Few others do. Hell, even Steve thinks it's crap.

Invaders is one of the few songs from NotB that i still listen to on a regular basis. It's a very underrated track.

So far its my favorite on that album. Haven't listened to it alot though.

[QUOTE=UpperDecker]So far its my favorite on that album. Haven't listened to it alot though.[/QUOTE]

Trust me. Hallowed Be Thy Name will be your favourite on that album in time.

I just have this particular againstness on 22 Acacia Avenue and Gangland from that album.

Other than those, it entertains me greatly.

I still can't get over the 80ness of SSoASS. :(

It's a lot less 80s than Somewhere in Time i'd say.. love both though :)

Hallowed Be They Name and The Prisoneraremy favourite Miaden songs at the moment. Infact my top 5 IM songs are

1. Hallowed Be Thy Name
2. The Prisoner
3. Where Eagles Dare
4. The Clairvoyant
5. Fear Of The Dark

A top 5 Maiden song list is far too hard :(

yeah i'm not even gonna attempt to make a list of my favourite maiden songs/albums, it would change evey few days anyway :)

Songs?

1. Paschendale
2. Powerslave
3. Aces High
4. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
5. Hallowed Be Thy Name


Everything after that changes often. :)

Songs

Rime
Hallowed
Paschendale
Sign of the Cross
Where Eagles Dare
Blood Brothers
Infinite Dreams
Evil that Men Do

etc., etc.

Hmmm...I have no freaking idea. I like a lot.

1. The Wickerman
2. Hallowed Be Thy Name
3. Murders In The Rue Morgue
4. Phantom Of The Opera
5. Fear Of The Dark

Well, that's what it is now. It's bound to change.

Well, AMOLAD has been leaked already.

I've just been listening to it briefly, my best description so far is X-Factor under the disguise of SSOASS. You can tell they've tried to go into a different direction. Fore The Greater Good of God reaks of The Unbeliever from X-factor. I'll have a better listen in the morrow, but I have mixed feelings atm.

BTW, if I like it, I'll buy it, if not I'll never talk about this album again and Maiden will only have 13 Albums in my eyes :P

^
Traitor!!! :angry:

Songs eh.

Moonchild
The Trooper
Hallowed
Aces High
Wasted Years
Murders In The Rue Morgue

that's all I can be bothered listing.

After listening to AMOLAD for the last two hours I think I can safely say that this is the best album Maiden has recorded since SSOASS. It's soooo much better than Dance of Death it's not even funny. BNW comes close, but it lacks the sheer melodic joy that AMOLAD has. The first three songs are hit-and-miss, I'll admit (hit: "Thousand Suns," miss: "These Colours Don't Run"). But as soon as "The Pilgrim" starts, it's pure gold, baby. And frankly the production is the best of any Maiden album ever.

Honestly I felt like I kinda forced myself to like Dance of Death. I had huge expectations for it, and I almost refused to believe that it wasn't the album I wanted it to be. I don't think I'm going to have that problem with this one.

Get excited, guys. It's REALLY good.

I'm so not downloading the leak. I've waited three years for this album, I can wait another three or four days. Still, reading your views on the album has really got me psyched up for it.

Song list?

1 .Hallowed be thy name
2. Still Life
3. Dream of Mirrors
4. Sign of the Cross
5. Strange world.

My cd wont get to me 2 weeks after the american release date....if im lucky that is :(:(


anyway song list:

1.Phantom of the opera
2.still life
3.Murders in the rue mourge
4.children of the damned
5.Monstsegur

[QUOTE=-The Frank]My cd wont get to me 2 weeks after the american release date....if im lucky that is[/QUOTE]

Wow, that's unbelievebly lame :(

Anyway, I'll attempt a song list. Here it is in no particular order:

Infinite Dreams
The Prophecy
Face In The Sand
Dream Of Mirrors
The Unbeliever

It changes all the time though and I've probably missed some out. It's way too hard.

^^
Ugh i forgot face in the sand, my favorite off of dance of death.

It's been my favourite off the album for quite a while now. I find it to be one of Maiden's most emotional songs.

My Mummy is buying it for me for being a good little boy and passing my exams:)

^ im taking and educated guess that you are talking about AMOLAD, if so, im jealous, i have to pay for the cd and shipping :(:(

[QUOTE=JamJar]It's been my favourite off the album for quite a while now. I find it to be one of Maiden's most emotional songs.[/QUOTE]

Song list at the mo, though changes a lot.

1. Dream of Mirrors
2. Hallowed Be Thy Name
3. Phantom of The Opera

I wouldn't call it the greatest album of all time, it's too Dance of Deathy for me and it feels like they're trying to work into the mainstream a bit. There are some beautiful moments, like the harmony in the longest day (People who like the Duellist, you'll love this song).

The album is overall good, but it doesn't 'feel' right, the mixing is amazing, you can hear everything, there's a few bits of overdubbing, bruce's voice works well, they're at top form, but something feels wrong...

Wow, AMOLAD finally leaked and i am currently downloading it :upset:

/feels ashamed

[QUOTE=crag]Wow, AMOLAD finally leaked and i am currently downloading it :upset:[/QUOTE]

Don't :(

[QUOTE=crag]Wow, AMOLAD finally leaked and i am currently downloading it :upset:

/feels ashamed[/QUOTE]
Don't do it!

/...is Considering doing it..

Ok, send me a link, and I'm going to download it, but NOT listen to it...I'm going to lock it with a random password (Keyboard mashing)

Hmmm... I should wait for the album to make a good statement on it and shi...

Anyway, for favorite songs let me check...

(In order of album appearance... probably)

Remember Tomorrow
Ides of March
Wratchild
Killers
Flight of Icarus
The clairvoyant
The evil that men do (live, preferrably)
Be quick or be dead
Ghost of navigator
Blood Brothers
Montsegur

Yeh, that's the smallest it can get. :(

I just started AMOLAD up. Yes, I have no morals, but oh well.

Different Worlds sounds so much better than the version we all heard a few weeks ago.
