Jannick was just very raw and very wild nothing wrong with that. Most people think Jannick was what ruined them originally, but you know its not true. The 3 guitar line up is spectacular, with Dave, Adrian, and Jannick are just soaringly incredible. The drumming is spectacular as usual since its good ol Nicko, screamn siren bruce is here and bass Cant go wrong with the legendary Steve Harris. Now to start out this no doubt is maidens best album yet. Iron Maiden have always rocked, even in the dark years with Jannick and even Blaze. Login or register using the 'Sign-in' box to the left.

Yet upon further introspection, Brave New World seems to be an amalgamation of many different elements drawn from each of the albums since the late 80s - the occult themes of Seventh Son…, the social awareness and politics of No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark, the personal introspection of The X Factor and the emotional depth of Virtual XI. Likewise, the guitar sound has returned to that of the late 80s and Bruce’s vocals are once again in top form. Brave New World marked the long-anticipated reunion album featuring the return of Maiden powerhouses Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith.ĭue to the high emotion surrounding Iron Maiden’s return to their golden-era lineup, this album faced almost impossibly high expectations, of the sort that are rarely if ever fully met.īut amidst all of this hype, Iron Maiden has exceeded all expectations and produced an album that is the equal of any album since their golden era of the 80s.Īt first glance, Brave New World is a progressive album which fits most closely into the same category as Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.Īlthough the guitar and bass synths have been jettisoned in favour of a real keyboard (played by Steve Harris himself), the overall style and mix of the synthesizers are similar.
