Brave New World

When I first started liking rock music, I only listened to Bon Jovi. This album changed how I think about and appreciate music. For me, it was a fantastic change. One of my favourites.

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest comeback albums of all time, although I see nothing wrong with the previous album (Virtual XI). It's a purchase that I will never regret, hopefully the same for you WHEN you buy it. So here is my Track by track explanation of the album. The Wicker Man; I still remember hearing this track for the first time on "From Fear To Eternity; The best-of..." and falling in love with it. It was love at first hear! Anyways, it's just a rocking track, from beginning to end, especially at the chorus when the rocking drummer Nicko bursts out with an almost impossible drum beat. No wonder it was the lead single from the album. It's just awesome! 10/10 Ghost of the Navigator; Starts out a little mellow with no drums, kinda epic-ish, and then it bursts out into one of the best songs on the album, and of the year. Around the end of the bridge section, before the last chorus, it gets faster, heavier, and awesomer before the last chorus. Just a fantastic song. 10/10 Brave New World; Starts out kinda like the previous track, and then bursts out into awesomeness. Never giving up, it's a great song. 10/10 Blood Brothers; A nice track. Kinda mellow throughout. A really cool song. 9/10 The Mercenary; Another rocking song, fast, heavy, just a fantastic song 10/10 Dream of Mirrors; Clearly the epic on the album! The first couple minutes (The first two verses and the first chorus) start out mellow and then bursts out into full epicness. Around the 4-5 minute mark it bursts into an almost impossible drum beat at a kinda high speed and lasts for about 3 minutes before the last chorus appears. So alaround it;s just awesome and epic. 10/10 The Fallen Angel; Kinda sounds like it could be a filler, but lets face it: There is no such thing as an Iron Maiden Filler Song! It has a rocking beat, heavy, and awesome! 9/10 The Nomad; Another fantastic epic. That's it; Just epic! The end! Another one of my favorites. 10/10 Out of the Silent Planet; A rocking, heavy track, another one of my favorites. This one was the second single from this album (released in a numbered Digipak!) 10/10 The Thin Line Between Love and Hate; A great way to close an album. It's a cool track. 10/10 So I think if you don't have it yet, well, buy it soon!

Excelente

Este álbum fue el mejor regreso de la Historia del heavy metal, muy sólido!

Como fanático de Iron Maiden desde hace muchos años, debo decir que esta edición en vinilo de "Brave New World" es simplemente excepcional. La calidad del sonido es impresionante; la calidez y la profundidad que se obtienen al escucharlo en vinilo realmente resalta la maestría de la composición de las canciones. Calidad del sonido: El vinilo ofrece una experiencia de audio envolvente, con matices que simplemente no se perciben de la misma manera en otros formatos. Composición de las canciones: Las composiciones son magistrales, desde la épica "The Wicker Man" hasta la melancólica "Blood Brothers". Cada canción es una obra maestra por derecho propio. Embalaje y presentación: El vinilo viene con un arte de tapa impresionante que complementa perfectamente la atmósfera del álbum. En pocas palabras, esta edicion del Brave New World en vinilo es una joya que todo amante de Maiden debe tener en su coleccion.................

This 2000 release from Iron Maiden proves that classical metal is still alive and well. Back in the fray are Bruce Dickinson on lead vocals (where he should be) and Adrian Smith on guitars (ditto). A little more progressive than Maiden's earlier efforts, to me that merely signifies that they are keeping up with the times and evolving while not producing drivel merely to make money (unlike some band that has released crap ever since their black album. Oh and most of the bands on K-Rock too.). From the opening of "The Wicker Man" to Nicko's "Oh I f---in' missed it" at the end of "The Thin Line Between Love & Hate" there is no one song that you can say is really bad on this CD. "The Mercenary" and "The Fallen Angel" harken back to Powerslave and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son in songwriting, while "Dream of Mirrors", "Blood Brothers" and the title track show us a glimpse of the aforementioned new, progressive Maiden. The only complaint I have with the album is the guitars, or lack thereof. What ever happend to the crunching sound that they had on Piece of Mind and Powerslave? I defy anyone to tell me that the production on Brave New World is better than the job Martin Birch did on Powerslave. If what Janick said on the Maiden website is true, that they plug in with no effects and turn the amp up to 10, then someone please donate a distortion pedal to these guys. But, I guess after what we had to listen to during the Blaze era (which I personally think wasn't so bad, but it looks like I'm in the minority) to have Bruce and Adrian back in the band and churning out some quality music, I can live with that. Highly recommended, if only to wash away the aftertaste of X Factor and Virtual XI.

Saw on Amazon this sick vinyl from Iron Maiden as I was laying in bed, which of course I already knew all the songs prior to purchasing. No issues at all, delivered in less than 24 hours and no basic white covers. This set had printed covers (they care about their fans) and arrived brand new. Thank you seller and Amazon on bringing these amazing tunes to my place within 24 hours! Talk about top tier delivery!

Brave New World” is the 12th studio album by Iron Maiden is has very mixed styles, containing both melodic tracks, (Blood Brothers, The Thin Line Between Love and Hate) “Classic Maiden” sounding tracks, (The Fallen Angel, The Mercenary) and epic tracks (Brave New World, The Nomad). The production quality and mixing on this album is AMAZING everything sounds great and you can hear all the band members very clearly The drums are extremely well mixed too, finally we can hear the bass drums of Mr. Nicko McBrain, who seems to get better over the time, since his performance here is great, not overplaying anything yet delivering a relatively technical performance. His tone is great too, in my opinion. Brave New World sounds like what you would expect an Iron Maiden album to sound like. Great harmonies and melodic RIFFS can be found all over the album, as they always have Dickinson ditched his painfully bad raspy vocal style and returned to the OPERATIC vocal style found on earlier Maiden records

Genial, 180 gramos, suenan que te pees

My record arrived ahead of schedule and was in perfect condition.

I have bee a fan of Iron Maiden since I was a kid. Actually this album is the 1st English album I had purchased that too with a partnership with a friend. It just in some way become my inspiration. And even after more than 12 years it still is. Now that I am a working person I brought this album again all by myself. I have listened to a lot of Iron Maiden albums and its is beyond my ability to judge any of this legendary bands albums. But I will say this "This was my 1st Iron Maiden album and It still remains my favorite album". Long Live IRON MAIDEN!!!

Incredible sound
