 Rating:  - ExcellentThis is one of my favorite Iron Maiden albums. The musical qualities are definitely there. The lyrics are insightful as well. Not a bad moment to be had on this disk. Up the Irons! Rating: - Pure BrillianceWe all know the 'Golden' era of Maiden music. [1982-1988] The Number of the Beast Piece of Mind Powerslave Somewhere in Time Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Honestly, it's hard for me to a pick a favorite, but if you put a gun to my head, I'd say --- Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Its a concept album and the story is easy to follow. A prophet tries to warn a village of an imminent attack. Unlike other concept albums, you don't have to follow the story to enjoy the music. Dickinson has perfected his vocal skills, which is evident on such tracks as 'Infinite Dreams' and 'The Prophecy'. In fact, the vocals on SSOASS ranks as one of the best I've ever heard in the metal ... Read More: Rating: - Ambitious metal masterpiece....Iron Maiden is almost unique among "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" bands of their era in being able to reinvent themselves repeatedly while still maintaining the essential elements that gave their sound an identity to begin with. It is easy to grow bored with the continual assertions by narrow minded "fans" that they "sold-out" with this record, or went soft and became "prog". No, for that listen to everything Queensryche did after Empire (and up until Operation Mindcrime II). Seventh Son is a creative, storytelling concept album that demonstrates a high point for Maiden in writing, production, and musicianship. They embraced technology, synth sounds, and polished professional production, without losing the energy and power that makes all of ... Read More: Rating:  - Starting Over with their Sound, 'Madness' would be the best adjective to describe 'Seventh Son'After years of success, some musicians believe they need to change, or at least alter the way they sound-look-act in order to maintain success, or at least remain relevant. U2 had made that same mistake; KISS made that mistake. The reality is some don't want to have that just-miss release and they over-think it, which doesn't help. One good example of this is Led Zeppelin's 'Presence': a good album, but far from what was expected from them. 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' is Iron Maiden's good album after years and years of great albums. 'Seventh Son' was released around the time the old guard of metal was giving way to Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. Many hard rock/heavy metal bands of the early to mid 80's felt the pressure and had ... Read More: Rating: - Consistently great!One of the great things about Iron Maiden is that they have a variety of music in their releases. Unlike some bands (Judas Priest), a given CD isn't usually too different than their previous one, but over time their focus changed to longer, moodier, more melodic songs. I'd even call them somewhat progressive by the time they get to "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". I don't really care for the more 'traditional' progressive groups, like Symphony X, or Dream Theatre, but Iron Maiden's take on the genre simply clicks with me. The songs are very melodic, with an almost dreamlike quality to some of them (particularly in the opening intros to the songs), but Maiden hasn't checked their aggression at the door. Dickinson is in top form in ... Read More: |
