I was just thinking of a headline for this particular news post about Iron Maiden, and ‘one more time’ sprung into my mind. And then I had the above song by Daft Punk stuck in my head. The mind works in mysterious ways.
So let’s get on topic: We’re in for, at least, one more Iron Maiden album! That’s right, The Last Sucker Final Frontier was not Maiden’s last album, according to Bruce Dickinson:
“The singer (…) believes Maiden will make “at least one more album” to follow last year’s chart-topping 15th record The Final Frontier.”
That’s what he said to the Daily Star, and he added:
“Things have been going a bit more prog-rock on our recent albums and the fans seem to love that.”
You know, I’m actually a bit split on that now. I’m happy that Iron Maiden put their retirement on hold (for, what seems like, the 1.000th time), but I was not a big fan of The Final Frontier, nor A Matter Of Life And Death. I don’t dislike Matter… but I do dislike Frontier. Let’s put it some other way, because you simply can’t dislike any Iron Maiden album: I don’t care for The Final Frontier.
So I would have liked the band to go back to their Brave New World sound but, I guess, we’re in for another snoozefest. Oh well, yay either way.
