Great Album. Everything I would want from a Maiden album. They still got the light

rock on iron maiden 5 stars all the way for you guys rock out hard man thanks

I’ve listened to this album both via headphones and on a stereo system and either way, it is an absolute winner. Using a good pair of headphones will blow you away because this is a complex album with a ton of layered sounds. The Three Amigos (Dave Murray, Janick Gers and Adrian Smith) take turns with some truly amazing guitar solos and this album is true evidence of how a band with 3 lead guitarists can co-exist and flourish like no other. True Maiden fans will be able for the most part to tell which guitarist is playing which solo. All I can say is just indulge and enjoy. Nicko McBrain’s drumming is off the charts great! The beats that his right foot alone is playing will put smile after smile on your face, and coupled with Steve Harris’ signature bass sound, this is a rhythm section unlike any other in the hard rock/metal genre. Although the use of keyboards is more on this album than on any other recent Maiden album, the keys are softly in the background and really do add to the overall sonic landscape. This album may take a few listens before you realize that it is a great metal album but it is time well worth invested. Maiden fans can only grow to love this one over time. It is one of Maiden’s best and Bruce Dickinson’s vocals, as usual, carry the torch. Don’t miss out on this one! “The Writing On The Wall”, “Days of Future Past”, “Darkest Hour” and “The Parchment” are my favorites but make no mistake there is no filler on this album. Thanks guys. Up The Irons!

I like the new album, but that terrible keyboard sound effect stops the album from being great. Way over used throughout the album, and the sound he chose for it doesn't go with the songs. It is the same "sound/effect" in all the songs. It makes it harder to understand the lyrics too. If they redid this with the keyboard sound effect completely gone, or at least used it minimally then it'd be so much better.

Great effort, grows on you like sporotrichosis.

Iron Maiden have weaved together an album full of many artistic pieces. From the slow beautiful songs showcasing the classical guitar to the all out rockers reminiscent of the Maiden of the 80’s. Bruce’s voice is somehow just as strong as it has ever been. Kevin Shirley’s production is spot on combining all the different elements into one beautiful work of art. You really do need to sit down and give the album your attention, preferably with headphones. Iron Maiden might have made their best album ever.

Iron Maiden is so good one of the best I love them the new album is cool to Iron Maiden is very good 5 star rating or 50 star rating

Terrible production. Kevin Shirley needs to go.

Waiting for touring this album.

I’ve listened to the full album every day since I downloaded it here. It’s slowly growing on me and right now it’s up there with The Number of the Beast, Powerslave. Seventh Son and Somewhere in Time. Death of the Celts put chills on me. Steve Harris outdid himself writing that song.

This album was sadly draggy, slow and no life in it. I’ve listened and loved Iron Maiden from the beginning. This in my opinion is their worst album ever, I bought it, listened to it and deleted it.

They have 3 awesome guitarists why aren’t they doing double leads? 3 different guitar solos in a song? Every since they have had three guitarists, on their new albums, it’s not as good as you think it would be. Use everything towards your strengths and advantage Iron Maiden.

F yah!

The songs just get too long and drawn out. Miss the days when it was just a few minutes back in the early 80’s.

I love this album. Every time I listen to it, it gets better.I noticed that many people complained about the length of the songs and album.

This is one of the reasons I love it. I want to be immersed in an album. I don’t really like short, choppy songs that don’t relate to each other. The album feels like a complete narrative. Each song building on the previous. It allows you to become intimate with and almost drown in it. Been listening to it for a month straight. Put it on and paint.

These are the same things I love about Seventh Son. A metal opera♥️

I highly recommend.

Unfortunately they all sound tired from the long history they have. Time to ride off into the sunset and Rest In Peace. It’s time…….

Somewhere in Time. I would give this 7.9 out of 10. Very good music. Up the Irons!

I'm sure this could've been a better than average offering BUT I can't get past how horrible the sound is!!! What has happened??? This sounds like an early '80's recording. The sound is dull and muddy NOT crisp and clear as it should be! Are the production managers of this deaf and did they actually listen to the final product????? They should've learned a lession from Metallica when they put out Death Magnetic and the drums sounded like somone beating on metal trash can lids....unlistenable!!!

I remember when 4 minutes was long for a maiden song. Now it’s their shortest one.. I’m sure if your a post 1985 maiden fan , this is great stuff..for th ins that thought they might go back to their roots. Nope

The album is good in spots, long in spots and slow in spots. It is certainly not the greatness of their 80s albums, nor does it seem meant to be. Unfortunately, it is also does not match the greatness of their last three albums. The first three songs are good. Lost in a Lost World sounds like Brave New World. The next song attempts to speed things up but never seems to break through. The long songs in the second half play lots of familiar riffs, march on but don’t give me that excitement. Overall good album, but was hoping for more catchy hooks great courses and a more rock anthem feel.

I have been a fan for over 25 years and they never disappoint me. Well maybe once or twice but this album is one of their best work.

I purchased Writing on the Wall pre release, Now that I purchased Senjutsu, it is omitting Writing on the Wall on the Album, but it shows on my Itunes as a single. Also, it is showing that I have to purchase Writing on the Wall to complete the album.

Very enjoyable once I found the right eq settings. Production was very flat, no dynamics. There are some very good songs on this album.

How can people call this a masterpiece? Lol. It’s ok. But masterpiece? Come on folks. Fans are so predictable. Anything new is awesome. Let’s be objective. I love Maiden. Playing is great but song writing here is average not great.

Long time fan but not happy with this.

Don’t know if it’s COVID or age or what. But it’s doesn’t sound to professional as Iron Maiden.

This album is Great

Iron Maiden never disappoints! Definitelty in my Top 5 IM albums

Maiden are awesome, no doubt. However, this record is stacked with songs that seem pretentiously long just to be long, with not enough great stuff to occupy the time. Hey, they can do what they want and I'll always buy it, because even when it isn't their best it's still Maiden. They may have accomplished what they're going for, maybe a more progressive lean, but this is hardly progressive, just stretched out rhythms. I'm on my third listen, and besides a couple stand out tracks I'll go back to and some notable guitar solos, I'm not loving it.

Ok u snapped drake

Sounds awesome they are still rocking

Seems like another rehash of the last few albums, which kind of all sound the same. Better than a lot that is out there though.

Unmistakably Maiden, still got it and still producing great songs and epics!

Music a 10 why price 7.99 now

The songwriting is sub par. The songs go on way too long. Ever heard that about Maiden before? Three guitarist but not one of the guitars are clear. Vocals are not good. Production is probably ok for AM radio. Look, I am a Maiden fan from the beginning. They haven’t put out a decent album since Matter Life and Death. The last 20 years of this band have been mediocre at best. So much better metal out there. If the name was different, this would be in the bargain bin already. Do not buy.

I paid 13.99 the paid is 8.47 why

The reviews about the production are accurate. Sound like they are in a shoe box. It’s embarrassing coming from a established band like this. Maybe they are too old to figure out the new recording technology? My dad has trouble with his cell phone.

Have been listening on repeat 🤘🏼

At first listen, I didn’t like it. I found it boring and too long. After a few listens, it’s growing on me. It’s more progress rock than metal, which isn’t what I wanted it to be, but on its own, it’s excellent. Just don’t compare it to past albums. Give it a chance.

I’ll admit, I never picked up a Maiden album in all my years growing up. Rock was more mainstream and the internet was very primitive compared to what we have today. Quality still mattered. Real producers produced real music and the artists had to find more than just their voices, instruments and a few days.

Today’s music is terrible. It just is. So acts like Iron Maiden are at least trying to keep a quality fire going. Anyway, I don’t know if quality and real melodic masterpieces will ever return. But this album has today’s country pop and other acts beaten by a long shot.

🤘🤘💯💯🎸🎸🔥🔥

Production isn’t as sharp as most of their stuff. But it’s new FN Maiden!

I’ve listened to their hit songs, but never a full album. I’m kind of shocked how good this is. I can’t stop listening to it. Now I need to go back and listen to all their albums.

…..every song is just way too long. It was cool years ago on Powerslave but, damn…..it doesn’t need to be every single one.

Sorry chaps, I’m not paying $12.99.

I don not know yet😳.

Dumb question maybe but what are these numbers in reviews all the time??? #34 #39?

These guys continue to dominate the rock and roll world, love this album

Best Iron Maiden album ever. No band has ever released their best album this late in their career

Just very disappointed.

Had such high hopes and 👎🏻

This is a far cry from what used to be. Not sure why so many are referring to this alum as a “masterpiece” when, frankly, it comes across lifeless and dull. And is it even metal anymore?

I can’t get enough Iron Maiden, been listening to them since the early 80’s. They are timeless!! Another epic album hoping for many more!

I love Maiden but everything is starting to sound the same. Can they still play? Yes. Can Bruce still sing? Yes. The issue is every song sounds like many other songs, from recent albums. And every song is too long. An occasional 8-10 minute song is cool, but every song? Plus, the constant slow tempo is killing me. Pick it up once in a while.

Been a fan since the beginning! Love it ! Can’t wait to hear it LIVE!!

I've always been kinda an Iron Maiden fan, so I listened hard to a couple of samples, then bought the album. I've been listening all weekend. Enjoying that slapping bass, the galloping drums tweaked for shrinking clarity, the wailing guitars, and of course, those seasoned vocals that hide wisdom in that gravelly cry. Now its Monday morning and this whole thing is burning in my head. I can't stop listening (even at work). It won't die...

Listening to paint dry is more exciting than this album. Too Wagnerian. I want Maiden to ROCK, and this album will bore you death. 'Days of Future Past' is the only hint to their rocking past.

I sure hope the band has a meeting of the minds and decides to make their next record full of pump your fist, bang your head, Rock and Roll .

A little different from last record definitely a more 70s maiden sound but oh a modern record set up

Best thing I've heard inyears!

A sprawling masterpiece

IRON MAIDEN…..’nough said

The Parchment. Period.

I bought the single Writing on the Wall and now when I download the album it isn’t on the album. It completely skips track three. I hate iTunes. It’s such garbage. The album is great though.

Another Maiden Masterpiece !!!!

Once again, Maiden proves that age is just number, and that they can belt out some fantastic masterpieces. Although I wasn’t there from the start, I’ve heard all of their albums, and each release gets more intricate and fluid with every song. They don’t write quick and catchy for the masses like the 80’s, but insist on great tales of life and war. It takes a great deal of adaptation to understand the masterpiece of 2000’s era Maiden, and I’m honored to be born at a time to hear and witness this fine band. Up the Irons!

been rocking Maiden since the early 80’s, and this is why! Always better, always melodic, always a story telling, … always Maiden!

Bruce hinted that this maybe their last album. I hope not cuz these guys are only getting better. Hard to improve on greatness but they've done it again. Every song 10/10.

Their past decade of albums might not be as highly regarded as their 80’s output, but I’d beg to differ and say it’s just as good. I hope we get a few more albums from them before they call it a day. If you get the chance to see them on tour, you definitely should. They put on a great live show.

So deep…. It is truly amazing

I think a lot of people are too afraid to admit it, but this band is washed up. Every album has sounded the same since Brave New World. True Maiden fans know their golden era was in the 80's and the band started slowly going downhill somewhere after Fear of the Dark. Classic Maiden will always have a special place in my heart, but if they keep releasing these same sounding boring albums, they only harm their legacy even more.

The production sounds like this was recorded in a shoe box. It's very muddy and compressed. I'm a big Maiden fan, so I will buy it because I love the songs, but the production is garbage!

Forty years in and the boys are showing no signs of slowing down. Fantastic album start to finish and possibly their best release since Brave New World.

Still Rocking

Ok..I love Iron Maiden..been a fan since the 70s, that said….last said, last few albums in the last 20 years had a lot of progressive long winded songs, but you know what I’d rather listen to them then a lot of new crap coming out..and see them live if you can..even some of those long drawn out songs are hits live…fan for life.. love them and so happy a band I’ve been following my entire life is still around making music..won’t be long before all the great Rock/Metal bands are gone. Enjoy!

Production. Sounds horrible! I have better sounding cassettes

If you’re being honest with yourself, then you know Iron Maiden hasn’t released an awesome album in over thirty years. It’s the truth — and you know it. They were just so phenomenal in the eighties that they were able to ride that have for the next three decades. It’s been over for a long time, but they just refuse to quit.

Great song... Sounds real good and can't wait for the rest of the album. Not sure what you other clowns hear, but I don't hear a cover of "Feel Like Makin' Love" at all.

Thought that was cover of "Feel Like Making Love". LOL I like the song but that is a up straight rip off of a classic riff.

Ok nice song - but come anyone else hear it.

Please tell me you hear it.

Ok I’m not joking.

I feel like makin love. The bit the riff the crunch it’s all their

I’ve been following Iron Maiden since 1981. They are one of the premier metal bands of all time. They only turn out excellent offerings! Even if you raise the Blaze era as clunkers, there are epic tracks on those offerings too. This appears to already be shaping up as a legendary offering. The video references Power Slave, Somewhere In Time & the album cover is a nod to the ole Sun & Steel Eddie. If you’re a Maiden Fanatic, you’re already in, I’ll wager.

nothing short of amazing! and thats just for the single!

Iron Maiden are great, buy with confidence!

Up the Irons \,,\.
