I cancelled my order from Amazon because they weren't going to dispatch it until Sep 4 with the new Maiden album for some bizarre reason! Totally unacceptable! So I just now ordered it from WOW HD and it's cheaper too £7.57 instead of £9.99. So FUCKK YOU amazon! :madra: Edited August 22, 2015 by treeduck

Oh thanks for reminder!

Heard this album a little while ago and it didn't quite hit the spot for me. Some good songs on it for sure but I enjoyed their last one much more.

Same feelings for me. Didn't love what I heard.

Definetely NOT the band I was used to.

Interesting. I listened to about half of it yrsterday and was thinking the same. But i was doing stuff around the house so figured i just needed to sit down and put my headphones on

 

 

 

[treeduck]

Shit I've had to cancel again. So currently I have no order in for this album.

[djflex]

I listened to a few songs again today, but so far meh.

Sounds flat. Almost like they overproduced and took all the fun out of the music.

Will listen to rest tomorrow...

 

 

Not trying be a buzzkill, but so far a huge letdown...
