Iron Maiden

Brave New World

The Return of Bruce

Review Score:

(8/10)
Iron Maiden has had a truly amazing career for a heavy metal band. Despite some line-up changes through the years, including lead singers, the core of the group has remained stable. Bruce Dickenson coming back to the band as lead singer recently has strengthened the band simply because he has a voice and ability to really carry a heavy metal band. Iron Maiden has been making great music for over 20 years now. I've only seen them live twice and that was in the 1980's. They put a fabulous show. And Eddie is a great mascot.

Released in 2000, Brave New World marks the welcome return of Bruce Dickenson to the band. While I have only rated this album 3 stars, overall this body of work is top notch and greatly improved over the previous two albums. Brave New World and Wicker Man bolster the album with two outstanding songs. And overall this is CD you won't likely be skipping songs while you're playing it.

I rate this CD a solid 3 stars.

_______________________________
Ratings: CDs are rated simply by how many good songs are on the album. Great songs get two stars, and good songs get one star. Songs that get no stars are those that I might like but not enough to give it a star or ones I find boring or actively dislike. CDs are not penalized for songs that I don't like because they are easy enough to skip over. There is no maximum number of stars a CD can get, but of course the more stars it gets, the better the CD.

As with all reviews, these are my subjective opinions on the album.
