THE REVIEW
The first feeling I had after finishing the listening was that of a suspicious swelling in the pubic area.
Second feeling: the swelling increased, and with it came an enormous and equally suspicious feeling of accumulated sleepiness.
Third and final listen: no, this time I couldn't make it to the end. At least this album succeeded in one purpose: it compensated me for the many sleepless nights caused by the summer heat. Sleeping is always good anyway.
Undoubtedly, however, the best Maiden album of the last 3 or 4 years, of this I am sure! Enjoy listening and... sweet dreams...

The reviewer finds Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier to be the best album of the band's recent years but also describes it as sleep-inducing. Despite the irony about its soporific effect, the album is acknowledged as a solid effort. The review ends with a playful remark encouraging listeners to enjoy and sleep well.Tracklist Videos

"The Final Frontier is indeed what is known in Lombardy as a 'quadrello,' that is a brick, extremely heavy."
"It’s definitely time for Iron Maiden to stop making studio albums!"

"'The Final Frontier' is a highly self-referential album, almost at the level of plagiarizing themselves, and apart from a few pieces and interesting ideas, I find it boring."
"Several tracks are 'artificially' lengthened with unnecessary arpeggios and repeated sections, which weigh down the album unnecessarily."
By Adrian
If you manage to play something that can still be listened to after thirty years, I’d say we can already talk about a halfway success.
This inevitable decline shouldn’t be taken as a total excuse for certain undoubtedly rehashed compositional choices.

This 'The Final Frontier' is truly a great album.
One of the best ballads of Iron Maiden ever, and we do not exaggerate in saying this.

The first track Satellite 15....The Final Frontier is a truly thrilling track.
I just wanted at least one voice to rise in favor of this album which... has nothing to envy to the great albums of the past.
