Commander PK Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Who else has bought the new Iron Maiden disk? I have to say that I think it is their best since "Powerslave." The band is on fire. Bruce Dickinson still sings as well as he ever has, and the guitar work of Janick Gers, Adrian Smith, and Dave Murray is incredible. My favorite track is "For the Greater Good of God." A 9 minute metal opus that rivals "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Great, GREAT album. Tracklist CD: 1.Different World 2.These Colours Don’t Run 3.Brighter Than A Thousand Suns 4.The Pilgrim 5.The Longest Day 6.Out Of The Shadows 7.The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg 8.For The Greater Good Of God 9.Lord Of Light 10.The Legacy "For the greater good of God" Are you a man of peace Or a man of holy war Too many sides to you Don’t know which anymore So many full of life But also filled with pain Don’t know just how many Will live to breathe again A life that’s made to breathe Destruction or defense A mind that’s vain corruption Bad or good intent A wolf in sheep’s clothing Or saintly or sinner Or some that would believe A holy war winner They fire off many shots And many parting blows Their actions beyond a reasoning Only God would know And as he lies in heaven Or it could be in hell I feel he’s somewhere here Or looking from below But I don’t know, I don’t know Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is More pain and misery in the history of mankind Sometimes it seems more like The blind leading the blind It brings upon us more famine, death and war You know religion has a lot to answer for Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is And as they search to find the bodies in the sand They find its ashes that are Scattered across the land And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind A shot is fired somewhere another war begins And all because of it you’d think That we would learn But still the body count the city fires burn Somewhere there's someone dying In a foreign land Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man Tell me why, tell me why Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God He gave his life for us He fell upon the cross To die for all of those who never mourn his loss It wasn’t meant for us to feel the pain again Tell me why, tell me why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfanevan Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 ive heard nothing but great things about this cd, i think its time i pick it up myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomerics Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Nice!!! Always been a huge Maiden fan, I'l be checking out the cd. Saying a song rivals Rime of the Aincient Mariner is high praise indeed. . . one of the classic epic heavy metal songs. BTW, their stage show is top notch. Haven't seen them in over a decade, but they used to be incredible, I assume nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I have it, I dig it! It's a BIG album though and it takes a while to grow on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've been listening to a buddies bootleg copy for a while. I don't get to hear it enough to develop a liking for particular songs yet, but's it's real good background for shooting clay pigeons. I look forward to hearing more.

Mr. S Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 wow, I didnt' realize they had released a new album, I think I know what im doing after work today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I bought it - a very good solid album. It does take time to grow on you unlike some of the older ones - like Number of The Beast which is just awesome on the first listen. I think it is there best work of the last 3 releases. If you are a Maiden fan you will not be dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I also was unaware of a new album. I will be picking that up this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzod Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'm happy with it. Just bummed that the closest they are coming to DC is East Rutherford. I got the disc the day it came out and it was $9.99 at Best Buy with a bonus DVD that was studio footage...the making of the album. Very cool for 10 bucks.
