Haha epic I knew there was a female cover band of Maiden, and I think they're pretty awesome. Maiden has 2 maintype of songs, it's either the short in your face songs like the trooper, number of the beast aces high, can I play with madness which I love as well. Or the Epics like hallowed be thy name, rime of the acient marinier, seventh son of a seventh son, caught somewhere in time etc. which I think is the best type of Maiden songs. Well I sure hope that's the case because if the album is anywhere near this album in therms of quality :D and while they are at it they must come to the Netherlands one more time.

The Maiden fans you named are not enthousiastic at any album since Seventh son of a seventh son, such a shame they can not enjoy this type of songs, since they are delightfully complex and most hate or at least dislike speed of light for some reason. 

The Iron Maidens are tight. Steve Harris himself went to see them live and he loved them. Shame that that concert I linked doesn't have Nita Strauss which would make the experience even more pleasant to look at, she is currently (or was recently) touring with Alice Cooper:

I think that Iron Maiden at their less stellar are still above average. To me Iron Maiden at their less stellar is when guitars are just jamming behind Bruce's voice and when the chorus are mainly the repetition of a single verse.

I can relate to what you mean, especially the repeat of the verses is at times a bit overused but I love the jamming parts on the Empire of clouds and on the Red an the Black, but some songs are a tad too long. I love the points where the riffs in the songs are repeated a few times and then erupt in one of the many guitar solo's.

About the Iron Maidens she's pretty hot and I think the Iron Maidens should be more regonised for doing what they do, I mean how many times you see an all female band playing metal or hardrock and being totally awesome while they are at it. Although I would like to see them write some songs on their own or even better make an entire album, they have the funds and skills to do so. I would buy that album as long as it keeps the medolic guitairs any day.
