iTunes Review

As one of the most important bands from the “New Wave of British Heavy Metal”, Iron Maiden set a performance bar that’s near impossible to meet. The raw athleticism, the compositional complexities, the synchronous guitars and galloping beats all must meet the toughest performance standards in order to achieve the heights of the band’s ‘80s output. The band’s four-year layover did them much good. The performances are strong and, more importantly, the songs are fresh. “Coming Home” is an exacting ballad-to-rocker in the Maiden tradition. The title track is sure to shake the arena rafters. “El Dorado” displays the band’s compact riffing power while “When the Wild Wind Blows” reminds everyone of Maiden’s greatest ambitions: to turn heavy metal music into sonic literature with layers of guitars and lyrics that take serious time to disentangle. It may not reach the heights of Piece of Mind or Powerslave, but it shows the band is still keen on keeping their aim sharp and true.

Truly Up With The Gods Of Albums

Just listening to the album first time and if you haven't already got this album or intend to buy it. You need to, just simply an absolute masterpiece. Bruce's voice is on fire and a very chilling moving edge to the album at parts. Steve has done a superb job creating, structuring, basically writing this album.

Usually when I do reviews I tend to highlight some of the key songs in an album, but this is different, after Satllite 15... The Final Frontier at just gets mmore intense, more agressive, blowing your mind and putting your ears on edge for the 75 minutes youv'e waited for. 5 Star

Move over Gaga, the Irons are back!

After their sell-out headline performance at Knebworth’s Sonisphere festival this summer, heavy-metal giants Iron Maiden show no signs of calling it a day, with this their 15th studio album. For the Maiden faithful, this album delivers much of the classic Maiden we have to come to expect over the years: Bruce Dickinson’s unrelenting voice of power, bassist Steve Harris’s galloping bass lines, rip-roaring solos from the band’s other three guitarists. Combined this produces the standard banquet of melodically powerful, epic tracks, which take the listener on an album-long musical journey (in fact, the longest studio album to date) from one track to the next.

But before that unmistakeable Maiden sound is unleashed on the title track (The Final Frontier) we are treated to an unusual 4-minute prelude (Satellite 15), which startled me and led me to double check this was actually Iron Maiden I was listening to. Seemingly divorced from the rest of the track (and indeed the album) this assortment of Sci-fi noises, I assume to foreshadow the ‘futuristic, space’ theme of the album, seems more from an industrial metal sound world than one we have become accustomed to with Maiden. Progressive? Yes. But an unnecessary bolt on at the top of album? Opinions I’m sure will be divided.

Some of the more progressive songs will not appeal to the old faithful (the single El Dorado for example took me a few listenings to understand), but the latter half of the album especially, with songs such as The Alchemist and When the Wild Wind Blows will undoubtedly give the Maiden faithful much to smile about.

At a time when urban music has become the new pop, I’m sure that loyal metal fans both young and old will have more than enough to get their teeth into with this new album. Heavy Metal’s hay day may be increasingly becoming a distant memory, but there sure seems no evidence that Iron Maiden, and their devoted fans, are going anywhere. Up the Irons!

the truth

we've waited 4 years for this but its worth waiting for its similar to "The matter of life and death" but i think its better

Biography

Formed: 1976 in London, England

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Known for such powerful hits as "Two Minutes to Midnight" and "The Trooper," Iron Maiden were and are one of the most influential bands of the heavy metal genre. The often-imitated band has existed for over nearly four decades, pumping out wild rock similar to Judas Priest. Iron Maiden have always been an underground attraction; although failing to ever obtain any real media attention in the U.S. (critics claimed them to be Satanists due to their dark musical themes and their use of grim mascot "Eddie"),...
