I can't say I'm loving the new album. I really want to like it and it has it's moments where I do, but I feel it's lacking something. Oh and fuck Yanick.

FUCK THE YANKEES, Cliff Lee, The Phillies, Tom Brady, Drew, snow, SS.org, Ebay, Bill Belichick, John Boehner, the iPhone, the gecko from the Geico commercials, shitty drivers, dealing with insurance companies, crazy ex girlfriends, my job at the moment, my shitty mood, new year's resolution's, happy people, the state of Connecticut, my cubicle at work, lower back pain, the Seahawks, anything Queensyche has done the last 15 years, NASA, Tiger Woods, the economy, people who can't drive in the rain, acid reflux, everyone in Dream Theater except John Myung, Metallica, customer service at Verizon, people who take up the whole aisle at the grocery store, The Rock, working Saturday's, waiting for Drew's album, The Packers, Robinson Cano, tires with no traction, spam email and the spam you eat, Putin, cavities, Netflix, Godzilla, Taylor Swift, the price of replacement windows on my house, squash... to be continued

It's the excessive repetition that bothers me about recent Maiden albums, even Brave New World to a degree. It feels like most of their eight-minute songs could be easily cut down to four minutes without losing anything. I agree that the producer and his "extra set of ears" should be the one giving advice along those lines.

I would rather listen to a 40-minute Maiden album that kills rather than an 80-minute album with too much padding.

:agreed:

Also the production is lacking IMO. Not to say Maiden ever really had the greatest sounding albums, but it just doesn't sound like a lot of time was put into getting guitar tones on this one. I thought Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was one of their better sounding albums they ever did from a production standpoint. I blame Yanick.
