The new song is ok, it's growing on me.

the new song rocks

Just heard the song, I love it.

The intro is a cross between BNW (Reminds me of Ghost Of The Navigator) and like you guys said X-Factor. The rest is pure BNW/DoD Maiden.

mmm i see the x factor, but it doesn't heavily remind me of it, but does it remind anyone else of the age of innocence?

Yeah, parts do really scream out that Age Of Innocence parts..But it's all together this X-Facter/DoD intro Hybrid and then full out DoD style.

yeah i'll go with that, not that any of that matters it still just plain rocks.

I really liked the video aswell, will be cool when we finally get to see it properly, and all that.

all you people who didn't like it are upsetting me :(

It's the only song i've listened to all day, i absolutely love it.

I guess this album is gonna be either loved or hated :(

Has the song leaked or is it just the video on Youtube?

it hasn't leaked the band posted the video on their website

12 'kin 3 \m/

I smiled all throughout the song.

Iron Maiden has now officially taken over my life and playlist.

This song is awwwwesome. Steve's long intros drove me nuts on DOD, but this one is really beautiful and haunting. But ****, after the song kicks in... it's SOOO HEAVY. And not just heavy for Maiden, like actually heavy. That riff at the end is insane. I loved The X-Factor, so maybe that has something to do with it. Like people have said, it's not supposed to be Run to the Hills or Aces High. It starts slow, it's plodding, that's the point. It builds. The 4:30 groove, the 4:55 harmony, the Davey solo - they're so powerful. If the rest of the album is this good I'll be ecstatic.

Anyone else think the sound is much better than DOD? The drums sound crisp and punchy, even through the crappy video compression, and the guitars are big and loud. I'm really excited.

It reminds me of Ghost of the Navigator as well. I think this just plain [I]sounds[/I] like Maiden. It's definitely not one of my favorite songs of theirs, but it can stand up to their previous stuff, which can't be said for a lot of bands later albums. Iron Maiden has so much to live up to, its amazing they can keep sounding fresh. I think if I had never heard Iron Maiden before though, and heard this song, I wouldn't think much of it. I hope the rest of the songs on the album are better.

The only thing that bothers me is Maiden needs to learn how to mix solo guitar parts HIGHER. You can barely hear them...

this is gonna be one hell of a singalong song live, I'll be there at Sheffield in December singing my lungs out. I like the whole heavyness to it, a nice...almost progressive style...but I think Maiden need a bit more pace than this to work with. Its not exactly plodding, but its not an exciting speed. Good song, I'm satisfied, and you know the album;s gonna have faster ones on...this just tells us they've still got it!

Being as it is the single release, I think its safe to assume that its not the best that they have to offer. At least I hope it isn't.

Not saying that it was a bad song, but it didn't really get going until about 4 minutes in.

Just seen the video for TROBB.

Please excuse me while I clean my computer screen...

I like the music, but afterwords it still feels as if it hasn't left an impression on me.

...because they sure do mix their own albums.

The band still has a huge hand in the mixing and producing processes, even if they don't do it all themselves.

First off, Steve decides how he wants the sound 99% of the time. He may not actually mix it, but if he doesn't like how it sounds, then he'll make them change it.

Second off, I think by Maiden, he just meant the whole crew/gang all together.

Well aware. :p

That's what bothered me about some stuff on BNW. Great songs, but you can't really hear the lead parts.

Since I'm somewhat new in these parts, I hope you guys don't mind if I ask you a few questions.

1. What's your favorite Maiden album?
2. What's your least favorite Maiden album?
3. What do you think of Brave New World?

I hope you don't mind my mini-questionarre. :p

1. Seventh Son
2. That I've heard completely, Fear of the Dark
3. Amazing
