So for the groupies who heard the new Iron Maiden, what score review will AMG give the album?







I'm going to go with a solid 4.0, still it could be a little lower to even a 3.0 as the site does not like when bands sound like they always do. They score more for a fresh sound. ???????

Hard for me to rate it as again, I am not a fan of Maiden all that much, though I have given it all a great try over the years.

Yeah, I can't stop listening to the Scythian. Moments like 1:36 on the first track where they transition from atmospheric melody to savage death-thrash riffs... man oh man. I'm listening to it right now because I saw your mention of it.

 
If such moments are to your liking, you should definitely check - that is, if you haven't done so yet - Craven Idol's Towards Eschaton as well as Crom Dubh's Heimweh. I have no idea how Vrath conjures all these killer riffs, melodies and atmosphere - and has enough of those for three different bands.

I've had this album for several years... I'd say it has a high replay value.

I have to say, this Book Of Souls may just be my favorite Maiden album. It's just such an easy listen. It washes over you effortlessly..... and mesmerizingly?:sleeping:

Abigor is still my favorite black metal band! Have you heard their discography?

(Darren Hayes, now solo artist, is the former vocalist of the pop band Savage Garden. Many of his songs are much better than this one.)

4/5 Would be my score too. Very solid but has some flaws.
