THE REVIEW

THE ABSOLUTE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I've already said it all. A piece of advice: save twenty euros instead of buying an album like this. I'm now wondering how it's possible that a group that made history in heavy metal could reduce themselves to composing mediocre songs always made of the same chords. A huge disappointment, don't buy it.

 Harris and co. have defied expectations and surprised everyone a bit.

 You won’t find any earth-shattering musical upheavals, but a pleasant, curious, and catchy evolution in the timeless music of the greatest Heavy-metal band ever... THE IRON MAIDEN!!


By Josh

 Dance of Death could easily be defined as 'boring but with class,' a work created by old glories who now create music with the same emotional drive with which an employee punches a time clock.

 The first and so far only fully acoustic track by the group reveals an unprecedented and surprising component of the group's sound tapestry.


By Brizz89

 The repetitiveness of the songs is increasingly overwhelming and it has become automatic to wonder why they continue to churn out such similar songs even after more than 20 years of career.

 A mediocre album that I do not recommend purchasing except to attempt to trace a nonexistent evolution of a band that has withered over the years.

 Montegur: in my opinion the most beautiful track of the album, very heavy in the riffs but endowed with splendid effects given by the overlap of multiple guitar parts.

 The aforementioned songs absolutely make the purchase of the album worthwhile which for me, after 'A Matter Of Life And Death', is, along with 'Brave New World', the most beautiful album by Iron.


By emdero

 Dance of Death, the second to last album by Iron Maiden is really an immense piece of crap!

 It opens with 'Wildest Dreams,' a song clearly in a pop rock style that copies the splendid 'Load' by Metallica and in which Dickinson expresses the worst (the only) side of his crappy voice!
