I suppose, but it didn't appeal to me simply because most of the tempo was done at a slow pace but wasn't really showing a proper motion with this style. I mean I don't mind slow songs but it wasn't prepared the right way and it sounded very drawn out to me. And you are right they have done better in most of their recent stuff though the stuff I don't like is usually because to me those songs sound either awkward or poorly constructed to me. AOR certainly is one of THE best metal albums ever and honestly I want more of that but we will wait and see. But the whole "we are to old for this sh*t" comment was just a very blunt description of what it sounded like to me. I usually don't do blunt comments but I have been in a crazy day here at work and I apologize for being out of line.

That album was so boring and bland in general. I mean if you want plodding "we are to old for this shit" metal than this is the album for you. This was not their best planned/made album by any stretch.      Brian_Evans wrote:  "Out of the Shadows" from "A Matter of Life and Death" is another example of quality Iron Maiden.  Year 2006 -14th studio album....  26 years after the Iron Maiden album and still going strong recording quality metal..   Edited at: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 6:08:02 PM
