treeduck Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Shit I've had to cancel again. So currently I have no order in for this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 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...
