I'm so excited for this double album! Those three 10 minute plus songs sound really enticing.

Excellent news
Great cover art and great song titles too...It looks like its going to be a little darker album then past few.
Looking forward to this

That's way too little to judge.

Maybe, but Maiden had so many years not sounding like that

I'm pretty sure the vocals are going to suck, for me. Bruce sounded so thin on the last release!

Can't wait to have this one !!! Nevertheless, I hope the 5 years wait was worth it !

If it's the case, I hope it will be as dark as 'The X Factor'. It could be very exciting !

I really hop this will be a good mix of the last two albums! Can't wait for that 18 minute song *Droll.. Up the Irons, might this be their swan song!

I'm expecting boredom...

I don't get the high expectations some have for this album, or the hope that IM can pull off an 18 minutes epic these days.

Have they released any songs yet?

Will be your taste, cause in my book the 21th century albums have been HUGELY enjoyable

The album has leaked today, I'm listening and is nice More updates when the listening keeps going.

The Beast is back my friends... and it has come to take you all without mercy... I can already hear the beast's hordes galloping to the sound of Steve's bass...it will strike you like a lightning without a warning. THIS IS HUGE REALLY HUGE!! 10/10

After one uninterrupted listen, I have to say I really enjoyed it. I particularly liked "If Eternity Should Fail," "When the River Runs Deep," the title track, and the deeply impressive "Empire of the Clouds." The only track I didn't really grasp was "The Red and the Black," but then again that's only after one listen.

Looks like their best since Brave New World. Possibly even since Seventh Son.

Just tried lieaked songs on YT well some sucks, some are OK, will judge when it will be out but I think best is to make new CD whit best songs from this as one CD album

Not even close, though there's a couple more good songs than on The Final Frontier. And that's also before hearing Empire of the Clouds, which will be interesting...

On the weak side, Tears of a Clown is absolutely atrocious.

Looks like my buds already have given a couple of spins to new Iron Maiden here.

Went out of my radar and will sure as hell checking this out. Already through with streamed tracks and it had fire to generate curiosity.

So you haven't even heard the whole album (as of writing your post), and you already know its quality? Wow...

It's the only track I haven't heard which will not be enough to change the overall outcome of my opinion, even though it may improve it slightly. It's not that high of a horse you're on compared to mine.

It's quite different from earlier albums I feel. I really loved the tittle track. Best track on the album I feel and Empire just beneath. I'm not disappointed at all. I do think Empire could have had more text but that's the only thing that drags it down, the rest of the song is epic!

So, "Empire of the Clouds"... it's just too long and bloated. Some good melodies and ideas but lacks focus.

I think we're listening to different albums. Let's keep doing that and stop talking to each other about what we hear
