Title: dance of mediocrity
Product review: Yes, i am a huge maiden fan and always will be, but i am also honest.this album is nowhere near as good as "brave new world."it does have a few good moments, like all maiden albums(they don't write a bad album), but the album is mostly filler.the first 4 songs could all be combined into one, because the riffs and time signatures are all the same.on the title track, the music is quite good, but the strings are so loud in the mix, it sounds more like jethro tull then maiden.lastly, bruce needs to rest his voice a bit more, because this album shows a very weary voice.I'm sure the tour will be quite fun, and the live songs are always better than the album versions, but this album should not have been rushed to print.maiden should really take more time recording. it shows in the lyrics and in the music. this is a 2 star maiden album, but hey! they had a great 25 years didn't they?
