Like, literally... a female opera singer. Every time I hear it, I just giggle because it sounds so effeminate. Metal music is probably the most manly, testosterone driven music in existence and to have such a feminine voice on top of it sounds.... weird. On a side note, I feel the same way about Rush. Great band, totally respect them... the music is great... but his voice... it just... unbearable. Sounds like one of the dwarfs from The Wizard of Oz. haha |
This is maybe the most ridiculous thing I've ever read :) I've been a huge fan of Bruce since I head Live After Death when I was 9. His solo album Accident of Birth was the first cd I bought myself, it's still one of my favourites and always has a special place in my heart.
Empire of Clouds sure is a great song, I wasn't expecting Iron Maiden to pull off something like this. My favourite songs of the album are If Eternity Should Fail, Speed of Light, Tears of a Clown, The Red and the Black and Man of Sorrows tho. Opening track is maybe one of the best ever. Rest of the songs are good too. I was very disappointed with The Final Frontier album and was a bit worried but after hearing Speed of Light I knew they were on to something good again. Bruce Dickinson is on fire, best performance with Iron Maiden since 1999, female opera singer my ass :D Adrian Smith reminds me why he's one of my favourite guitar players, just listen to his solo on Tears of a Clown, oh the Joe Satriani feel it has, perfection!
This album is same quality as A Matter of Life and Death, excellent!
