For real?  Did someone post this song for the "Book of Souls" video???  For shame! 

Still sounds like Maiden. Embarrassed

The book of souls packaging looks fantastic. Double cd in a nice hard cover book with what looks
Like a real page turner...lots of liner notes and pictures perhaps? Well, can't wait.

2015 is an awesome year for music.

I don't think Maiden's last few have been very progressive.  Just long songs with too much repetition and too many similarities.  Slow intros and outros.  I wouldn't mind them doing some more adventurous stuff in terms of songwriting.  How would a live band like Maiden that has huge sing along choruses do a song that didn't do the verse/chorus structure?  If their epics were more like Rime of the Ancient Mariner I'd be thrilled.  I think they have the chops to do something special still but I don't know.  I love Iron Maiden and metal but I'm not that hopefully.  Will still go see them when they come close, best live band I've seen.

I don't care for the cover myself.  Compared to classic Maiden artwork its quite bleh.

Some one convince me that I need some Iron Maiden and which one should I get...?

btw...I noticed that none of their cover art  ever showed an actual iron maiden with that silly skull creature in it.

I'd start with Powerslave, which is simply one of the greatest albums ever made imo. From fast songs like 'Aces High' to epic behemoths like 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner', it's got it all. Also, 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' is another good album to start with. However, you can't got wrong with much Maiden. Big smile

Powerslave, A Matter Of Life and Death, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, Piece Of Mind.........And by all means go see them LIVE!! Behind Rush, they put on one of the best concert experiences you will ever see.

Waaaaait!!

Do not over look "Somewhere In Time" and to get a solid flavoring of their tweaked sound for the 21st century give 'Brave New World' a listen. It's a progressive beast! Very melodic too.

Anyway. The book of souls is out tomorrow (sept 4th) !!!
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

I guess Maiden is just not my cup of tea. I listened to Powerslave and Seventh Son and I kept thinking of Spinal Tap.
The music is just too stereotypical for me....they sound like a band pretending to be a prog metal band....with all the usual clichés.

Dunno what prog metal bands they were trying to copy in 1984. Confused

Maybe it's not your style, but I recommend these songs:

-Starblind
-When the Wild Wind Blows
-Dream of Mirrors
-Out of the Silent Planet
-The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
-The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
-For the Greater Good of God
-Paschendale
-Alexander the Great
-The Phantom of the Opera
-22 Acacia Avenue
-Hallowed be Thy Name
-To Tame a Land
-THE EMPIRE OF THE CLOUDS

Those are some of their most progish songs (some not that much but are great). I don't mention ROTAM or Infinite Dreams because they're in the albums you already listened to. But Empire of the Clouds is a masterpiece that every prog fan should listen to in my opinion.
