Iron Maiden strikes back!

***************
Iron Maiden literally kicked everyone's ass
with the release of their album A Matter of Life and Death.
Once again, Iron Maiden outshines all the rest. This year,
Iron Maiden is too damned hot for Ozzfest!
Different World debuted # 7 on Billboard's charts not by
fluke. Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, and Janick Gers rocked
together in a perfect unity. The three guitar players have an
astounding chemistry together.
Bruce Dickinson owns the best set of vocals in metal,
Operatic and smooth. I do not hear where Bruce Dickinson
takes a breath on the song For the Greater Good of God.
Out of the shadows Bruce hits high notes sweet to the ears.
Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson, and Dave Murray wrote and
composed amazing songs. The lyrical intelligence of A Matter of Life and Death
is very Iron Maiden. Descriptive and historically based on wars.
There's so much more A Matter of Life and Death offers.
I have searched for a weakness in Iron Maiden's latest album
but it's tight. A Matter of Life and Death is the best metal album of the
year. This is a must-own album for any true metal head.
