    I just have to point out that Secret Chiefs 3 already released an album "Book of Souls." Like, just a year or so ago.

    You guys are really looking forward to this one, huh? Nobody else found the last four albums-well six albums if you count the Blaze Bayley era-to be really bloated? I kind of liked AMOLAD, but IM's songwriting has become so long winded and predictable, IMO. Somehow I'm not expecting much from an 18 minute track except a 3 minute atmospheric intro, a mid tempo verse, a chorus, a gallop, a few solos, the gallop again another chorus and then three more minutes of quiet outro. Hopefully, I'm wrong....

    Yes. Same every time. I now have only the albums up to 'Seventh Son...'. I cooled on AMOLAD after noticing every track except (I think) the last one was in the same key! Didn't bother with the last one. Really they are basically a more ornate AC/DC nowadays IMHO, it's clear what you're going to get.

    But I'm glad Bruce is doing well and that they are still out there doing it, probably bigger than they've ever been. Good for them.

    I have to agree about the formula....although it is a helluva formula, most of the time. I do wish they'd stretch out a bit more. I thought "Satellite 15" was one of the coolest things they'd done in awhile...too bad the rest of the album didn't live up to that (IMO). I did really like AMOLAD - to me it sounded like they were firing on all cylinders, and not quite going back to the same well as much as they had in the past.

    Still, Maiden remains among my top 3 bands.....formula or no.

    Yeah, from watching Flight 666, Harris and Shirley are well aware of the "formula" charge, and they don't give a shit. They like what they like, and Maiden fans like it that way.

    I'm with Harris, Maiden doesn't need to "progress" to be successful to my ears.

    I'd like a return to the warmer production of the 80s, but other than that, Maiden doesn't have to do too much to make me happy. They don't quite get a free pass, but, well, I've been listening to them since I was 10. They reside in a very happy spot for me.

    I burned on Dickinson's vocals a long time ago. I can only listen to the first 2 Iron Maiden albums these days...

    Seriously, when I saw the track list with all those long songs I wet myself. An 18 minute epic by Iron Maiden gives me a woody.

    September can't come fast enough. The only other disk I'm this excited about is Metallica's next release.

    This is a autobuy for me and was before I was born.

    They threw a few new spokes in the wheel of Rock when they came out and still have enough left to excite me.

    I'm in the same boat. Admittedly, I haven't paid attention for years, but Dickinson never did a whole lot for me compared to Di'Anno.

    Listening to AMOLAD. It's still my favorite of the reunion albums. It's epic, and rocks like a bitch.
