The album came out today, Yesterday for the rest of the world - And I have just finished listening to it for the second time all the way through, And must say I am more than impressed. I knew the album would be good, Maiden always rise to the challenge. But this is album is alot more than I thought it would be. Guitars sound great, solos are awesome, the melodies are as catchy as ever, bass is bombastic and full on traditional Steve Harris, and the drums sound great (Nicko even does a bit of double bass!)

One thing I think most everyone will love about it is that there are so many hints to there older albums like Powerslave, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, The Number Of The Beast, and Somewhere In Time - while still sounding extremely fresh and new. This is not the sound of a band who has been around for more than 30 years, everything still feels new, the ideas are still creative, and the whole experience is much bigger than any of there previous album.

If you haven't picked it up or heard it, I am assuming you are being hostpitalized in such a way that prevents any free movement smile.gif

My favorites off The Final Frontier would have to be:


Satellite 15...The Final Frontier (Full version is amazing)
Mother Of Mercy
Coming Home
Starblind
The Talisman
When The Wild Wind Blows


But then again every song is truly awesome, so check it out! And if you have it, what do you think?
