Those who were afraid that this epic ║ │ │║ release might be even more progressive, lengthy ║ │ │║ and harder to digest than the cacophonic ææThe ║ │ │║ Final Frontierææ five years earlier, can relax ║ │ │║ and breathe again. Despite many overlong tracks, ║ │ │║ the eleven diverting new songs sound more ║ │ │║ structured than the material on the last studio ║ │ │║ album. The six artists go back to the classical ║ │ │║ heavy metal sound with some minor progressive ║ │ │║ guitar sounds as on ææPowerslaveÆÆ and ║ │ │║ æÆSomewhere in TimeÆÆ. The record also has a few ║ │ │║ darker tones that remind of ææThe X-Factorææ and ║ │ │║ especially ææA Matter of Life and Deathææ. The ║ │ │║ record this new output is best compared to is ║ │ │║ though the underrated ææDance of Deathææ because ║ │ │║ of this releaseÆs enormous diversity. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Bruce DickinsonÆs vocals sound even higher and ║ │ │║ more skilled but also more joyous and natural ║ │ │║ than on ''Dance of Death''. The bass sound on ║ │ │║ this album is a little bit less dominant than ║ │ │║ usual but still perfectly audible and the album ║ │ │║ even includes a short bass solo in the beginning ║ │ │║ of the classical epic æÆThe Red and the BlackÆÆ. ║ │ │║ The twin guitar leads are as melodic as always ║ │ │║ and the record includes a few solid but maybe ║ │ │║ slightly too experienced solo parts. Adrian ║ │ │║ Smith adds some progressive guitar sounds in the ║ │ │║ dynamic æÆWhen the River Runs DeepÆÆ, Janick ║ │ │║ Gers has a weakness for almost folk-influenced ║ │ │║ guitar leads as in the rather average title song ║ │ │║ æÆThe Book of SoulsÆÆ and Dave Murray is the man ║ │ │║ for calm and psychedelic retro guitar leads as ║ │ │║ in the appeasing æÆThe Man of SorrowsÆÆ that ║ │ │║ needs numerous spins to grow on the listener. ║ │ │║ Nicko McBrainÆs drum patterns and fills sound a ║ │ │║ little bit too experienced as his performance is ║ │ │║ probably the least spectacular on this album. ║ │ │║ His fills in æÆSpeed of LightÆÆ sound exactly ║ │ │║ the same as in æÆEl DoradoÆÆ, ææDifferent ║ │ │║ Worldææ and ææWildest Dreamsææ before and he ║ │ │║ could have tried out a few new things here and ║ │ │║ there. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The production is quite straight and transmits a ║ │ │║ dynamic live in studio atmosphere. This record ║ │ │║ canÆt mess with the crystal clear and powerful ║ │ │║ sound of ææPowerslaveææ and the likes but along ║ │ │║ with the rejuvenated and straight unmastered ║ │ │║ sound of ææA Matter of Life and Deathææ, this ║ │ │║ record might have the best production since ║ │ │║ ææFear of the Darkææ. The simplistic yet ║ │ │║ effective album cover also shows a more grounded ║ │ │║ approach where the band goes back to basics. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The best new tracks are written by singer Bruce ║ │ │║ Dickinson. ææIf Eternity Should Failææ is the ║ │ │║ best opener in at least two decades and comes ║ │ │║ around with a creepy and psychedelic atmosphere ║ │ │║ in the introduction and the epilogue while the ║ │ │║ centerpiece of this track is powerful, ║ │ │║ diversified and yet catchy with an incredible ║ │ │║ vocal performance. ææEmpire of the Cloudsææ is ║ │ │║ one of the bandÆs very best album closers and ║ │ │║ feels like a cinematic experience for all your ║ │ │║ senses. Bruce Dickinson is a gripping ║ │ │║ storyteller who introduces us to a topic he ║ │ │║ really cares about and the way he narrates, ║ │ │║ sings and whispers this track is authentic, ║ │ │║ diverting and intense. As if this wasnÆt enough, ║ │ │║ the song constantly shifts and changes hand in ║ │ │║ hand with the dramatic story without losing ║ │ │║ momentum or a clear guiding line. Bruce ║ │ │║ DickinsonÆs piano performance might not be ║ │ │║ spectacular but it fits and adds a credible dose ║ │ │║ of atmosphere to the tune along with some ║ │ │║ chilling orchestral passages. There is no doubt ║ │ │║ that both songs by Bruce Dickinson are among the ║ │ │║ very best tracks in the bandÆs stunning career. ║ │ │║ These two tracks should become instant band ║ │ │║ classics. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Those who like it less ambitious and but more ║ │ │║ focused, should try out the powerful and raw ║ │ │║ single æÆSpeed of Light'' that works very well ║ │ │║ in the album context, the catchy and more ║ │ │║ enthusiastic æÆWhen the River Runs DeepÆÆ that ║ │ │║ would make a great second single, the simple yet ║ │ │║ efficient ''Death or Gloryææ that opens the ║ │ │║ second disk or the charming and melodic ║ │ │║ ææShadows of the Valleyææ that includes some ║ │ │║ memorable ææSomewhere in Timeææ reminiscences. ║ │ │║ These songs might not be the most original ones ║ │ │║ in the bandÆs impressive career but they stand ║ │ │║ for the bandÆs rekindled lust for music. You can ║ │ │║ feel and hear how much the band must have ║ │ │║ enjoyed creating these new songs together before ║ │ │║ the shocking news that Bruce Dickinson had a ║ │ │║ cancer that surfaced right after the recording ║ │ │║ process. I'm convinced that all these tracks ║ │ │║ have the potential to become immediate live ║ │ │║ anthems. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If you took a look at the bandÆs past few ║ │ │║ records, you would realize that Bruce Dickinson, ║ │ │║ Janick Gers and Adrian Smith have added the most ║ │ │║ interesting new songs to the bandÆs extensive ║ │ │║ repertory while Steve Harris and Dave Murray ║ │ │║ kept repeating themselves. ThatÆs also the case ║ │ │║ on this release. Dave MurrayÆs calm ææThe Man of ║ │ │║ Sorrowsææ sounds like the timid little brother ║ │ │║ of ææThe Man Who Would Be Kingææ and needs a lot ║ │ │║ of patience to grow. Steve Harris is clearly ║ │ │║ running out of ideas on ææThe Red and the ║ │ │║ Blackææ which is clearly too long and repetitive ║ │ │║ to work efficiently. Iron Maiden's mastermind ║ │ │║ also copies several of his very own songs like ║ │ │║ ææRime of the Ancient Marinerææ, ææHeaven Can ║ │ │║ Waitææ and ææBlood on the WorldÆs Handsææ in ║ │ │║ this track. Even though they are not plain ║ │ │║ horrible, Harrisæ and MurrayÆs songs are clearly ║ │ │║ the weakest on an otherwise surprisingly ║ │ │║ diverting, organic and passionate double-album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In the end, Iron MaidenÆs new release proves ║ │ │║ that this band is still alive and kicking. ææThe ║ │ │║ Book of Soulsææ mixes the bandÆs greatest ║ │ │║ inspirations from the past with a few new ║ │ │║ elements brought in by a very creative Bruce ║ │ │║ Dickinson. Even though the album might have been ║ │ │║ one or two tracks shorter, this release is a ║ │ │║ highly diverting trip for any heavy metal fan. ║ │ │║ Most bands that have been around for four ║ │ │║ decades fail to equal their successes from the ║ │ │║ bast and deliver lukewarm new material as a ║ │ │║ pretext for new touring opportunities. Iron ║ │ │║ Maiden though delivers a very good new release ║ │ │║ that might not beat their very best releases but ║ │ │║ which is far above their most disappointing ║ │ │║ outputs. This new record is in the upper high- ║ │ │║ quality middle section of the bandÆs studio ║ │ │║ outputs and while this position might only be of ║ │ │║ a good average quality for a band like Iron ║ │ │║ Maiden, there is no doubt that this fiercely ║ │ │║ glowing genre highlight easily beats any similar ║ │ │║ release of the past decade.
