Post subject: | New Iron Maiden song download: El Dorado |
North America http://www.ironmaiden.com/usdownload/index.html Rest of world http://www.ironmaiden.com/download/index.html Songwriting hasn't returned to the days of yore, but I like the "new" production direction. Sounds a bit more dirty and muscular like the old stuff. Not bad, but then again not awesome either. |

I can't really stand Bruce anymore. he can still nail it live, but I don't like the way he sounds on this song. The music itself was pretty cool though. |

Of course he does. It's Bruce Dickinson, stop being silly. |

There is nothing wrong with his voice, you girl. Really can't understand what you're on about. |

While I'm glad they're trying something a bit different I'm not too crazy about the song itself. It did sound better on the second listen so maybe there's something there. |

That intro reminded me a little of Wasted Years, for some reason. Overall, this is a pretty good song. It's upbeat, it has a nice guitar solo in the middle, and on the whole it basically sounds like a modern Iron Maiden song should. I do, however, find Bruce's vocals a little odd. He seems to be singing at a lower pitch than usual, and he sounds a bit more cynical/sarcastic than on previous Iron Maiden records. In fact, he sounds more like he does with his solo work than with Iron Maiden. Looking forward to the new album. On a sidenote, am I the only one who thinks Iron Maiden should do an album with Eb tuning someday? |

Let me see if there's anything different in the vocals. he really doesn't sound all that different from AMOLAD, but I felt ever since he re-joined Maiden he just hasn't had the same oomph he had in the 80s and 90s. I know it's because of age, and it happens to all singers. But some guys, Lemmy/Halford/Mustaine can get old and have their voice change but still sound decent where Bruce's voice is a little un-listenable for me. I know I'm probably going to get MR gang raped for saying this, but this is truly what I think. |

Stop making albums and just tour. There's nothing really going on here with that song. |

Since I am a huge fan of Bruce and Maiden, I still love 'em. Yes, Bruce's vocals don't have that punch as they did earlier, but I still love it. As for the song, I just listened to it and I am disappointed. Surprisingly, Bruce, in certain parts doesn't sound natural. It's like he's trying to sound mean. Something really wrong with the way he's singing it. I just hope this is the weakest song on the album. I know I will pick up the album when it's out cos I'm a Maiden fanboy. |

The first time I listened to it I was a bit "meh" about it as well. Something about Bruce's vocals during the verse and the lack of overall structure and the unremarkable verse riff. Upon listening to it again, however, I realized during the chorus that none of this mattered, because this was fucking Maiden with Air-Siren Dickinson and no matter how meh it might seem, it never truly is. That chorus is pretty awesome. |

I liked it and I still think Bruce is one of the greatest. |

He's definitely trying something a bit different, for better or worse. So that's why I find his vocals a bit odd. I hadn't notice Seinfeld26 type that. Maybe he is trying something different. Maybe it needs a bit getting used to. Actually, that song is playing in my mind and I haven't even listened to it a second time. That's a good thing ![]() |
