It tries to copy the previous Maiden material, but since Maiden has over-used its basic idea, this album doesn't really 'give us anything'. I believe that an album should always either try to improve a genre or at least try something new. 'A Matter of Life and Death' does neither. It seems that Maiden is finally running out of fresh ideas, which I find very sad. Hopefully not.Seether Finding Beauty In Negative SpacesIt's very strange to see a review claiming that an album is terrible when the review is heavily one-sided. The album is staying, surprisingly enough, true to the genre of grunge (save a few developments, such as the screaming and the inclusion of metal-like fills). In the commercial world, that is already special enough to make a band stand out. Yes, the riffs are very simple and repetitive, but I cannot agree with the statement that the lyrics are, in any way, bad or lack talent. Just because the lyrics do not follow the 'rules' set forth by the music industry, doesn't mean they suck. They are experimental, yes, but also have true meaning. I wish for more objective reviews in the future.1.5 very poorSimple Plan Simple Plan
