Title: leaning towards 3.5 stars
Product review: My immediate impression upon listening to this album: it's not as good as Accident of Birth or The Chemical Wedding. While time won't change that, it is growing on me. Dickinson and Roy Z are as good as ever, the songs are varied and generally flow well, but something is missing. There's less fire here, as though the distance between albums has given Bruce less to work with, and I can't help but think that Adrian Smith would've pulled this up a notch. Still, Tyranny of Souls is a solid metal album, and fans of Dickinson's other albums should enjoy this.
