Iron Maiden - Dance of death
What does everyone think of this album?
I got it today and i thought the first 2 tracks were too familiar with those of Brave new world. The track Dance of death is gooooooodd - but imo wont ever match to the good old days of Powerslave and Seventh son
Opinions please....

I agree. CD definately kicks ass but I love the title track and face in the sand the most right now.

For me the verdict is still out. I am listening to it now for the first time and parts are great and others just the same old same old.
But it is Iron Maiden. The use of keyboards seems unnecessary. And Shirley's production does make it sound different.
It is a pretty mellow album overall. Bruce does sing some great melodies that are not typical maiden. These are all too rare however.
It also seems they have made a conscious effort to avoid the gallop, which is fine with me.
Look, listen and post thats all I can say.
I still somehow expect Harris to come up with something new. A classic; and I guess the closest thing you get is the title track with typical Harris patterns with a bit of a twist.
I really don't know what sort of statement they are trying to make with this album. It seems unfocused and also very radio friendly (not that any commercial stations plays "metal" anymore).
I sort of expected something heavier. If you are you will be disappointed.

It's better than Brave New World. Adding a bit more of classic Maiden stuff , and better proggy-folk oriented songs ( reminds me the DiAnnos-era "Remember Tomorrow & Prodigal Son"). It's amazing

I like it a lot, some tracks are very original, others are copy/paste of old stuff, but I still like it.
The last 4 albums make much more sense now, dod is like the missing link, a strong blend of everything that was good on these last 4.

I liked it. Not on first listen, but it's grown on me.
