whats the deal with this album? Everybody praises it but it sounds like generic boomer rock from whyte peopleits insane how corny this shlock sounds but I guess white boys eat it up
>>122796998This was the template that all those bands started ripping off, remember this came out about half a century ago. You think edm and nu-metal existed back then? Gotta crawl before you walk
>>122796998and an ooga booga to you too, op!
For me, it's Seventh Son of A Seventh SongIf there's one thing I do quibble with to Mr Harris however, the esteemed bassist and penner of tunes that he is, it would be his rather lax lyrical economy policy. 'Living on a razor's edge... balancing on a ledge... Balancing on a ledge... living on a razor's edge...' Yes, yes, very riveting stuff indeed! In fact, in reality, that is to say, *scoffs*, balladeering was historically a complex entanglement of poesy, scrivening, and lyricomelodic phrasing encompassing diverse metaphor and half-rhymes galore. There was simply not enough breath left in the passing of the stave to engage in such trifling repetition of an admittedly rousing chorus and pre-chorus phrase. It, however, contents me in the knowledge that listeners of Iron Maiden will one day graduate to become listeners of the cerebral and provocatively lyrical artists such as Steely Dan and Tool.
>>122797270That verse before the chorus on Evil That Men Do makes me laugh when I haven't listened to that album in a while. Can I Play With Madness is also a funny song just because of how jarring of a tonal shift it is with the rest of the album.

I think Powerslave is better, but NOTB mostly just sounds like generic boomer rock because the title track and Run To The Hill are so overplayed.

>>122806202I wrote that retarded GRRM drivel, and feel the need to state that I do unironically love that album, and that song, but I still think the pre-chorus shamelessly repeating those two lines is hilarious, and feels like the band just cheekily tried to see what they could get away withSeventh Son of a Seventh Son is just as bad with Dickinson belting out the title line in the chorus with various ludicrous degrees of operatic melisma
>>122796998While it’s no Killers, it’s still a solid Maiden album that has influenced countless metal heads across the world for 42 years.
>>122796998And that's a good thing, subhuman. You don't have to understand it. Now ban the white majority for fighting fore with fire. It's okay I'm not a subhuman
