    In 2000, when Bruce Dickinson came back, I was excited to hear what they would do. I was disappointed with Brave New World and Dance of Death (With the exception of the stellar song Paschendale). This album was fantastic though. Best song, in an album of great songs, is Lord of LIght.

    Awesome album, and hearing it performed in its entirety made for a great concert. Brighter Than Athousand Suns is a true gem.

    I didn't get into Iron Maiden until a couple years ago. The music usually takes time to grow on me, and then I can't get enough of it. I love the storytelling, and the tempo changes are always enjoyable, but I feel like the drum fills, at least on recent albums, are somewhat predictable.

Description

Japanese pressing of 14th album from heavy metal legends. Virgin. 2006.You've got to hand it to Iron Maiden. After two decades of recording and releasing albums, the British sextet still has its share of fresh ideas, something it proves once more on A Matter of Life and Death. The opening tracks "Different World" and "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" show, more clearly than ever, the group's progressive rock roots and its affinity for upsetting expectations about what a heavy record should sound like. But some of the material--"These Colours Don't Run" and the epics "Lord of Light," "The Legacy," and "The Longest Day"--also suggests that the band could stand to expand outside its comfort zone a little more often. By now we know what to expect even from the most unusual Maiden album and that familiarity ultimately sinks A Matter of Life and Death faster than any fad at the forefront of the heavy rock scene. At best the record shows the band is still vital, at worst it shows us that Steve Harris and company are coming up a little bit winded these days. --Jedd Beaudoin
