I love the new albums, as I loved the old ones. Okay, so Dance Of Death (*shudders at the thought of the cover art*) isn't Seventh Son, but there are still some classics in there. Paschendale, for example, is as good as anything Maiden have *ever* written, lyrically or muscially.

BNW was repetitive, yeah, but tracks like Wicker Man and Blood Brothers are still excellent, and you can't detract that from them. If you ignore the terrible era without Bruce, Maiden's later stuff is just as good as a lot of their 80's work, and I stand by that opinion proudly.

And i'm going to see them in December!

If Nicko isn't still in jail, of course...
