Iron Maiden The Final Frontier

But how dare you say that such a work of this caliber is nothing but the mere product of a fake?!? This appalls, confounds, and disheartens me. Don't you see that this review exudes real, pure, and light feeling of LOVE towards the legendary Maiden from a true/true/dickinsonsofanadrianumber 666 fan??? And then ciaio87 is from 1987. Can someone born between Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son be a fake? No, certainly not.

Yes, all good, but I feel like they can do better. In my opinion, the title is really spot on. With this super CD, they've brought out some untapped potential. I think this group is still a bit too underrated for what they've given to metal. They are criticized for the usual clichés, but in the end, they’re 60 years old and they crush it with extraordinary and varied songs that have a sound that never gets tired; always alive. Like a tuna fighting on a fishing boat (the metal critics trying to take them down), but they always manage to pull out another unexpected extraordinary album from their hats with a twist of the waist and continue swimming in a sea of timeless notes. Songs that indeed go beyond the ordinary and are filled with continuous brilliant plot twists. In fact, only they and the legendary Dream can create songs that are so long, so beautiful, and extraordinary that they never get boring. They haven’t fossilized or remained stuck in the '80s, and as heavy geniuses, they keep evolving: yes, they are the chameleons of metal. And this cover, just like the long and varied album, is proof of that. I give you only 4. You should have given 5 to the CD.

Not really in agreement, Pierpaolo. In the end, I would say that on the contrary, they managed to stand out precisely because they have their own sound that, however, doesn't innovate with every new release. This CD didn't convince me much: I prefer Circle of Life and Eternity. Anyway, not a completely useless band and good for a party.

It’s not the Iron Maiden to blame for releasing an album every two years, interspersed with a live/DVD. It’s the fans who deserve a scolding. How can you listen with hope and buy an 80-minute CD with full awareness?? Damn, I don’t need the CD to describe it to you. I can already hear Harris’s bass lines, the endless two-minute intros. The driving verses and then there it is, Smith’s scale solo and the return to the chorus sung a thousand times by Bruce with a vocal range of the Madonna. But I ask you, aren’t the first seven albums enough? Up to Seventh Son, they were a notch above the others in the genre.

I do not understand, esteemed reviewer, your astonishment at this disc. You seem to know the history of these Teutons, and then do you not know that they died in the year 1995, 1998 at the latest? So did you perhaps believe in a resurrection???

Thank you very much. I didn't think anyone would come by. Anyway, the lactic acid disappeared for me yesterday: more than two hours!!!

Masterplan Time To Be King

The voice is beyond debate, but he doesn't know how to write songs that exceed mediocrity. The Masterplan have made only one great album: the debut with Kusch and Grapow, particularly inspired after their dismissal from Helloween. This one is mediocre like the two previous ones, featuring catchy tunes, well sung and played, among which "The Dark Road" stands out. The fact that a catchy tune that no one will remember in a few months shines above the rest leads me to not go beyond a 2.

I enjoyed the film. It doesn't hold back in criticizing even the center-left, and it shows us what many TV stations and newspapers have pretended to ignore or relegated to the background. Well done.
