[QUOTE=ashman]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[/QUOTE]

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.

[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.

-The Frank 08-24-2006 07:32 AM

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

JamJar 08-24-2006 07:35 AM

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.

Lord Abortion 08-24-2006 07:37 AM

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

-The Frank 08-24-2006 08:01 AM

^ 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]

rik 08-24-2006 08:28 AM

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...

crag 08-24-2006 10:19 AM

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

/feels ashamed

Don't do 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)

TojesDolan 08-24-2006 10:26 AM

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. :(

pate 08-24-2006 10:32 AM

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.

LINK ME UP!

COME ON! :eek:

pate 08-24-2006 10:38 AM

Email/AIM?

EDIT: Through the first 3 tracks, I fu[SIZE=2]cking[/SIZE] love it.

TojesDolan 08-24-2006 10:48 AM

There's been some talk on the first tracks being hit/miss, so the rest SHOULD be awesome. For you, at least.

I hope.

I'm beginning to realize Dance of Death is so incredibly repetitive for some reason. :-0

pate 08-24-2006 10:51 AM

I know. The first 3 tracks were ace, and 4 has been just as good if not better.

Track 2's chorus uses the exact same progression as the chorus of The Wicker Man and Blood Brothers. They're getting a nice bang-for-their-buck on that riff.

crag 08-24-2006 10:55 AM

This download is going so horrendously slow. I think that's my punishment for downloading AMOLAD :(

JamJar 08-24-2006 10:57 AM

[QUOTE=crag]This download is going so horrendously slow. I think that's my punishment for downloading AMOLAD :([/QUOTE]

I think that it's a sign saying that you should cancel the download :p

TojesDolan 08-24-2006 10:57 AM

When are they releasing it, anyway?

September, I think?

2006 has been a good year for music. :cool:

JamJar 08-24-2006 10:59 AM

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan]2006 has been a good year for music. :cool:[/QUOTE]
Yes it has. :)

The album comes out Monday for the UK and the following Tuesday for the US

crag 08-24-2006 11:07 AM

I'm listening to TCDR just now :) this truly seems like an amazing album from what i've heard. Everything is just spot on :)

pate 08-24-2006 11:09 AM

Indeed. It's very solid.

Lord Abortion 08-24-2006 11:23 AM

/Pre-orders AMOLAD

Finally.
