Ok. I'm as excited about this album as any positive maiden fan can be. I also hate to be a sh*t here, but I think the cover art is awesome. They really got the right EDDIE this time. It's marathon running EDDIE. Gaunt and freaky looking. Better than the final frontier Ed Hunter.
92 minutes? Does scare me a little, but man I am looking forward to hearing that 18min epic. I am imaging dance of death combined with where the wild wind blows. Hey? I think that could work! Anyhow, I'm an optimist. I think the album will kill cancer.
Then again, who knows...perhaps the second disc will be an ambient/acoustic/jazz odyssey tour-de-force!
I'd probably die of shock if ALL those genres were to be found in the space of a single Iron Maiden album! Will give it a listen with an open mind but I can't say I am too excited. Will be surprised if it is not more of the same because more of the same is what Maidenheads desire. Then again, it's been so long since I heard a new, straight up heavy metal album that this might just do the trick. I got to see them on the AMOLAD tour; their energy translates better live. The perfect stadium rock band.
Yeah. Liquid tension dream theater maiden. f**k that would suck.
Flippin' 'ell !! Awesome news. An 18 minute epic ?? Hopefully this outdoes The X Factor, at least musically......(I'm probably that album's biggest fan......)

I'm borderline obsessed with 82-88 era Maiden, especially Murray and Smith's guitar work on those albums, but I'd be lying if I said I've really enjoyed anything they've done since No Prayer For The Dying. I only managed to listen to Final Frontier once all the way through and that was a very tough listen. will still check this out though

I stop hearing Heavy Metal long time ago, but I do respect bands that can re-invent themselves... and Iron Maiden sure can do it.
Iron Maiden stepped forward the simplistic heavy metal a long time ago actually, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son were quite a prog-metal albums.
Their present-time progressiveness is mostly about the form, I guess, and the actual content is not as prog as their late-80's albums.

Definitely. Both Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson are big prog fans, and I am sure the others are as well.

Iron Maiden would never be moved into a pure prog category on this site, not even if they made a double album of songs like the one below. They just lack the proper prog credentials ;-)

3-LP monster set.....Brilliant!!! Been looking forward to a new album by one of my all time fav bands. It's been 4-5 yrs since I have seen them live...I am due for an Eddie fix.
Please do not move them to prog-metal.....leave them alone!!! I also am not fond of the artwork, although I bet the vinyl sleeves and gatefold will be stunning!
