    About Iron Maiden:
    Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of 44 years they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.
    The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

    Smith's solo was epic but Murray also killed it on 'the writing on the wall' solo. I don't think many are capable of understanding the perfectness of the first solo in that track because everyone talks Adrian's solo.

    This new album is really great in the guitar department and has great rawness and energy that encapsulates much of the band's music since the first album. That 10-15-second solo piece in "The Writing on the Wall" (you know which part) is one of the best IM has ever produced. "The Parchment" has a lot of great riffs that exhaust my fingers when driving because I can't stop fingering along. To my ears, I'm hearing guitar themes from the songs "To Tame A Land, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear of the Dark, The Nomad, The Talisman" and possibly some "Killers" influences, but it may just be the style or sound from those earlier albums that I'm picking up on. A magnificent job by the Three Amigos.

    I prefer “worked out” solos. All the 80s and early 90s Maiden albums had very memorable solos that I can still recall note-for-note in my head. Adrian’s solo on Writing is a return to that for me, so I hope he goes back to working them all out. All other parts of a song are worked out, so why not the solos? I prefer when they are songs within a song.
