Post 2000 maiden is overlooked by many, but they have produced some incredible songs in the last 20 years. Sadly sone people just can't see past the 80's
Because 80s Maiden is prime. That said, this song has a catchy hook and mean riff. But it still suffers from the insufferable repetition of 2000s Maiden. They still put out some good tracks but never will they capture the 80s tone and energy again. Up the Irons.
Strongly agree, tho somewhere in time being my favourite Iron Maiden album I think alot of past 2000 songs are amazing and maybe a unpopulair opinion but I like alot of songs Janick Gers wrote.
@@troywilkinson160 IMO this album is a solid B on the tier list, but I'm one of those psychos that love dance of death lol
@dewi9333 Totally agree with you 🤘🤘🤘
I'm not over looking it it's some of the best iv'e ever heard from them
I love the "this doesn't sound like Iron Maiden" when to me it sounds 100% like an Iron Maiden song and has all the hallmarks and signs of an Iron Maiden song. Glad they finally found a Maiden song that they enjoyed.
6 out of the 7 songs they'd previously done full reactions for were from The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, or Powerslave - three consecutive, similar-sounding classic albums, so it's not too surprising if they had a rather narrow view on what Iron Maiden is like.
I'd say it simply comes down to the guitars having more distortion on their modern stuff.
Okay I’ll say it. Fear of the Dark live. Y’all will love it.
Yeah exactly. It sounds 100% like Iron Maiden. It is far from being one of their best sounds but it is not bad. It's definitely not one I listen to often.
This is the one concert I will always regret no seeing, they will never play this whole album live again, there were some complaints back then , those people were fools, you can here the trooper and run to the hills anytime any year , but to here MOLAD full album live? Damn ,gimme a time machine
I recommend for some groovier Maiden songs:
Infinite Dreams: My favorite Maiden song, very proggy
Phantom of the Opera: From their first album with a different singer, also showcases the prog elements
Powerslave: also a bit darker song like this one
Stranger in a Strange Land: Slower song with similiar riff to this one
Be Quick Or Be Dead: Fast and simple song but has similiar darker and rawer tone
A matter of life and death is definitely one of their most underrated albums, the Legacy and for the greater good of God are also incredible songs from this album.
S tier album for me without any hesitation.
The secret ingredient is Dave Murray. He doesn't write many songs but when he does they are always phenomenal
I know everyone says Number of the Beast or Powerslave is their top album...but this is my favorite album from them. A true "no skips" album to me!
For me the No Skip album is Piece of Mind. AMOLAD is brilliant on side B only in my opinion. I am also a Die Hard fan for The Final Frontier.
Piece of Mind also
I just rediscovered this album and I'm loving it so much.
Iron Maiden are the GREATEST(live;)BAND now and forever😜
Up the mighty Irons!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
It was a privilege to watch this in NJ. They played this album in its entirely then did the 666 plane tour and I saw them again in NJ and they were just as awesome then with the classic Playlist.
Nice! Up the Irons! Great take guys.
I love this reaction❤❤❤
Anyone tried Bruce Dickinson's solo material? The stuff on Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding (and some of Tyranny of Souls) is some of the best "modern metal" ever. Brutal, heavy, melodic, excellent playing, great songwriting. Treat yourselves.
Totally agree this is their best song
Epic
I really think you guys would like the song Powerslave by Maiden
I remember when I played the single the first time before the album released. I blown away by this RIFF!
You guys are just scratching the surface of Iron Maiden gigantic catalogues. If you loved this style of Maiden then you should check their others post 2000 albums like "Brave New world", "Dance of the death." Etc.. Out of all the legendary heavy metal bands that still produce musics out there compairing to the likes of Metallica, megadeth etc, Maiden's modern albums always stood out the best from the rest!!
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns next
When I heard this song, I felt the same this was not Iron Maiden, this song feels different. Awesome SonG!
That is their best song ever!
Maiden rocks! Great job guys!
I'm so glad you guys broke through with a Maiden song. It blows my mind that this is the one that got ya, but damn I'm glad it did. Modern maiden is my favorite maiden personally but it's good to hear you guys praise my favorite band for once 😂 keep it up guys! Love the channel!
Modern Maiden is cool but anything they did in the early days just blows any of their modern stuff out of the water, I personally don't really like Bruce's modern voice, I think he sounds a lot better when he sings in a higher register, and a lot of modern Maiden is Bruce singing low to mid, that's one of the problems I have with modern Maiden, and also I'm not the biggest fan of something they started doing post-brave new world, which is guitars and vocals doing the same melody at the same time, I mean they did that early but it wasn't that often, can't really remember many classic songs that have anything like that, anyway each to their own, I enjoy modern Maiden but Bruce's voice is the main weak point for me.
I think I haven't see you guys reacting to this since The conjuring from Megadeth/ I love this song, and it surprised me that you guys reacted to contemporary Maiden. I LOVED THIS!!!
Iron maiden songs you might enjoy - Book of souls - powerslave.
This album rules. Tied for #1 with Somewhere in Time for me. Breeg is great, but it's middle of the pack for me on the album. Check out more from AMOLAD for sure.
This album is epic!!
The Fallen Angel song from Brave New World. You will be surprised
Departure??? Sounds like Maiden. Has all the hallmarks of Iron maiden. This song is awesome! Guys do Pashendale next!
The Iron Maiden sound from 2000 on is different from 1980’s!
I love the fact you guys are objective. Personally I think you're both out of your minds because you don't like Maiden, but do you. I've seen them 19 times, know their history inside and out. But I respect the fact you guys differentiate between music that is bad and something that just isn't to your liking. Also? Look for the live version of this song
Fear of the Dark is quite similar as far as Iron Maiden songs go.
I think you'd like their later albums, because after watching you're other iron maiden reactions it seems like your main issues is the sound quality/ mixing, which for obvious reasons sounds much better now. 🙂
Because this song is very reminiscent of most of their discography, only difference was more modern sound quality/ mixing (in my opinion).
I didnt like it much when it came out as a single in 2006 but after more listens and especially a few years after the album its one of my favorites on it. Its pretty different from most maiden songs but they do have some varied shit..imo.
As a maiden fanatic i dont really get your overall views on Maiden but many think they same sadly and respect for all opinions.
One of my favorite songs by them, but unfortunately boys I think this is a one-off. I don't think they ever quite repeated the restraint and heavy riffage they show here. That said, modern Maiden does have a few darker, more mature songs along these lines and you never know, maybe you'll be surprised. Songs like Paschendale, Brighter Than A Thousand Suns, Montsegur, Dance of Death, The Legacy...but even then I think you're more likely to like parts of these songs more than the full songs themselves. Benjamin Breeg is a special one!
I’m a big fan of this modern Maiden album (many of which get ignored by longtime fans) and this track is excellent, but my standout cut is “Brighter than a thousand suns”.
Iron Maiden has been my favorite band since the late 80s and I have loved them all the way through (maybe a bit less during the Blaze years). When this song dropped as the first single for the then new album aMoLaD I was excited but it wasn't my favorite Maiden song ever or anything. I think George and Ryan just made me like it more. Haha. As for suggestions, it might just be that you prefer latter period Maiden but if it is the pacing here that you prefer check out Infinite Dreams. If you want to stay post-reunion (2000) try Ghost of the Navigator, If Eternity Should Fail, Paschendale or Darkest Hour, the last of which is off the latest album.
See you bros at the show Oct 5 ???
I do enjoy this track and in general the album it came from. There are some great songs on the albums since Bruce and Adrian rejoined the band.
My fav album from 2000' Iron Era 🔥
Bring it 🔥 🔥
Be quick or
Be dead.💀☠️👻
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Up the irons!
I mean... it's a great song, definitely one of their best from the recent stuff. I still prefer older 80s stuff for sure, though. But they always had these ''odd one out'' songs on their older albums (for example, ''The Apparition'' off of ''Fear of the Dark'') One of my favourite, more unknown album songs by Iron Maiden is ''Deja Vu'' off of ''Caught Somewhere in Time'' Album. It's not THAT odd when it comes Maiden songs (that would be ''Heaven Can Wait'' and ''Stranger in a Strange Land'' on that album) but it's still a killer song. You should give it a listen.
Not an anomaly...Maiden has so many great songs...check out the Duelists from Powerslave. Underrated track!
🤘🤘
You guys haven't even touched the 2000's Maiden. You want more ooomf. Brave New World!
They didn't just play this song, they played THE WHOLE ALBUM on the tour. They even drove a whole-ass tank onto the stage. Incredible showmanship.
was a great show! (as all Maiden concerts are)
I saw them in Auburn Hills MI in 2006. They definitely played the entire album. I was SO happy when this song came up on the album, because they can absolutely destroy a mid-tempo grinder. I wish they would put out more songs like this. This is my second favorite song on the album, behind Brighter Than A Thousand Suns.
Yep, I was lucky enough to see them on the UK leg of the tour. Great gig, amazing album as a whole. Brighter Than A Thousand Suns and For The Greater Good Of God are another two killer tracks on this album.
I’ll forever be bummed that I didn’t see this tour.
That was one of the best concert experiences I ever had when I saw them in Chicago during that tour. Absolutely blew me away and I was so glad they played the full album.
Glad you liked this one fellas! This album is where Maiden “finally found the distortion button”. Please go for “For The Greater Good of God” next from the same album.
my vote for this song!!!
Yeah they would lose it on For the Greater Good of God
Got my vote! That's my favorite song off this amazing album.
man, I picked up this album the week it came out, after a while to get used to the sound, take it all in
for me it was very clear that it was the best work of the band since the seventh and remains the best
This album grew on me over the years. I remeber when it came out, the main criticism was that the songs were to slow and proggy, and I thought that too.
But now, man, this album is so fking good. And seeing "For the greater good of God" live a couple of years back sealed it, this album has my total respect.
I think A Matter of Life and Death is one of Maiden's most underrated albums imo. When it came out they toured and played the whole album start to finish, truly a great show.
I would’ve loved to have seen that show! Such an amazing album and easily one of the best Maiden albums in the past 25 years.
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns - is another good track if you like stuff different from the usual Iron Maiden vibe
Iron Maiden played this album live in its entirety on the tour supporting it. It was phenomenal!
They did, saw them in Holland that tour.
It was so amazing, my first time seeing them live on this tour❤
It upset a few fans too lol
Each to their own. I saw it in hammersmith and it was boring as all dick. That's even with a power cut lol
I saw Maiden live 11 times. That Matter of Life and Death gig was not the worst of the lot only because I saw one with Blaze, but it was a drag.
This song is a great example of the “modern” Iron Maiden. They sort of made the shift to more mature, less stadium rock music around the mid-2000s. This is my personal favorite Iron Maiden album. I highly recommend For the Greater Good of God or, if you want something even more modern, Hell on Earth is also incredible.
This is my favourite too, for this song, for the greater... And brighter than a thousand suns
To me that shift happened when Bruce came back in 2000 for Brave New World. I know 23 years was a long time ago but it doesn't feel like a long time to me and that's what I consider modern Maiden with their longer more complex song structures. I love everything they have done since 2000. Only disappointment to me was how dead the production sounds on Dance of Death because there are some great songs on it... I try to help it by boosting the treble but it still sounds dead.
they wont like any of those songs
It really is not. Benjamin Breeg is an oddity even in the "modern" era.
@@sinbysin666 Respectfully, I disagree with that statement. If you look at a lot of songs from A Matter of Life and Death through Senjutsu, Iron Maiden shifted to writing a lot of longer format songs that I’d certainly categorize as progressive. For the Greater Good of God, The Legacy, and Brighter Than a Thousand Suns are very similar in tone and writing to Benjamin Breeg. Sure, they still have their typical Iron Maiden bangers like Speed of Light or These Colours Don’t Run but by no means is Benjamin Breeg an oddity.
You guys would be surprised how much of Iron Maiden’s catalogue doesn’t sound like what you would expect. I have been saying it for a long time now that you guys should listen to some of their “modern” stuff (post 2000) I think there is a ton of material since then that you guys would like. Glad you guys liked this one! Finally Iron Maiden gets a W 😂
Hear! Hear!
dam I have often dismissed Maiden post 2000 but will have to check more of this out! its almost like Overkill or Exodus trashy.
“The Ghost of the Navigator” is Iron Maiden’s best song
@@therealclp7488 it's up there, a great lesser known deep cut
Their new (post 2000) material is superb, a lot of my friends got stuck in the '80's era, which is killer - pun intended - but they've been cranking out quality metal for decades now
Other great songs from this album are "Brighter Than A Thousand Suns", "The Longest Day", and "For The Greater Good Of God"
This is by far my favorite Maiden album and one of my favorite albums all time. This album is a masterpiece in my opinion.
It's definitely my favorite from the second Bruce era (Powerslave is my favorite from the first)
1. Somewhere in time
2. Brave new world
3. A matter of life and death
My top 3 😉
I'd rank it a bit lower than SoT, but this album is phenomenal
Give Brighter than a thousand suns a jam from this album. Some of maidens best lyrics
I think that’s a great choice, similar heavy riffs to this song.
My favorite song from this album, such a banger! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Considering Oppenheimer is coming out soon they really should take a look at this one.
That's my favorite maiden sound.
Iron's most criminally underrated album. This is a 10/10 masterpiece.
It's my favorite album of theirs
It's my favorite album of theirs
Yep,I say the same thing all the time, one slight critique by some is the repeating choruses (I can understand that one) and all the songs start with a slow intro ( I don't agree with that as a negative, I love the intros to the songs on this disc) but it's my 2nd fave tied with Killers with #1 being powerslave and somewhere in time from time to time floats in the two spot , Sea of Madness, man that freaking song rocks! Disappointed it wasn't part of the set this year or that would have possibly been their greatest set of all time
I'm a maiden simp and pretty much like every album; but if I had to choose only 1 to listen to for the rest of my life, it would definitely be AMOLAD \m/
Agreed, Also Dance of Death is very good 👍
I think you'd probably enjoy Bruce's solo stuff way more than Maiden's, specially the albums Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding
Chemical Wedding is amazing.
Those are amazing
This is my favorite Maiden album. And honestly, my heart is filled with joy after seeing how many fans in the comments also love and praise this album as much as I do. If you liked the groove and the rhythm section in this song, you should definitely give "The Tower" a chance. It is from Bruce Dickinson's solo album, "The Chemical Wedding".
The whole Chemical Wedding and Accident of Birth are phenomenal and criminally underrated.
I love all the popular Maiden songs, and for good reason, but sometimes you have to dig deep into their catalog to find the real bangers. Another example, and definitely a suggestion for the channel, is "Paschendale" from Dance of Death. Gives me chills every time I listen to it.
Paschendale is one of my favourite Maiden songs, massively overlooked but one of their most evocative songs.
Some songs paint a picture, Paschendale is like a movie.
From that album I like the album title the most Dance of Death it builds up perfectly to the 3 solo's.
I'm so glad that you guys liked this song. It broke my heart that you guys didn't care for the other Maiden songs that you heard. The riff in the middle before the solos is one of my top 3 Maiden riffs.
Sorry to hear that it broke your heart. Personally I was slightly disappointed, before forgetting their opinions entirely.
I was more confused by them not enjoying Still Of The Night (Whitesnake), it's just a reminder that tastes are different ...even though that song ticks all boxes so they were wrong!!!!
This is a hidden gem from Iron Maiden. When I 1st heard it I was blown away. Once you get past the music, the lyrics as per usual, are insanely deep.
This álbum is an underrated masterpiece. Glad to see that finally Maiden made it up with you.
“The Legacy”, “The Longest Day” and “These Colours Don’t Run” are underapreciated gems as well on this récord 👌🏼🤓
Lord of Light is the best song on AMOLAD
Don't forget For The Greater Good Of God.
The Legacy is disgustingly under appreciated. Maiden need to play it live again to gert a good live recording of it. Those final verses are beautiful
This reaction made me smile from ear to ear. I knew you guys would just love modern Maiden :D Heavier guitars (3 guitarists with the return of Adrian Smith will do that lol) , more groove and Bruce is in a slightly lower register than the 80s era. This album is a masterpiece. Just react to their stuff from 2000 onwards ;)
The bottom line is that y'all have not listened to enough Maiden to properly contextualize this song. It's not a departure for them, it's just another badass banger! There are so many in their 17-album catalogue that it's going to take you awhile to catch up. Up the irons!
Finally, modern Iron Maiden. This is the era you need to be in. Completely different sound from their vintage stuff.
That “completely different sound” is called age. Maiden is one of the best but their early stuff is perfect.
A Matter of Life and Death is an overlooked classic LP. Not a bad track on it.
Their best of the modern era.
Awesome track and the album in general is pretty underrated. Still think you guys need to do Powerslave!
Yeah - second Poweslave, maybe the live flight 666 version
I haven't seen Ryan and George this happy in a minute, god bless Iron Focking Maiden!
Dave Murray not the most productive songwriter, but when he come out with something it hits hard! 😀
Believe it or not, my wife and I walked down the aisle after getting married to part of this song… and I have video evidence to prove it!!😂
Which part bro? I need to see it 😆
At least it' wasn't Charlotte the Harlot, Hooks in You or Wasting Love :)
Came out in 2006, remastered in 2015. One of their best albums.
Apropos of nothing, I'm a 53 year old man and long time Maiden fan. My rating of their 17 studio albums varies a lot dependent on my mood.
@@georgejackson2583 Ditto. Except the Blaze era never connected with me. And I tried, god knows I tried, but man alive I just can't get into it.
Saw them play this live when they toured for this album. This whole album rocks this hard. One of my fav Maiden albums.
Still waiting for their masterpiece "Paschendale", but you're getting closer!
This is crazy! I was actually listening to this song a couple of days ago thinking that this might be one of those Maiden songs that Lost In Vegas might like, and here you are :D
Brighter than a thousand Suns is pretty dope too from this same album
This is an amazing and underrated song. The guitar work, especially from Dave Murray on the solo part, is killer!
Glad you gave the more modern stuff a chance! How about Paschendale from Dance of Death? What does everyone else think?
Maiden started morphing into a prog metal band in the late 90s. Bruce Dickinson rejoined in 2000 and they continued down that tract ever since. This is from their 2006 release, "A Matter of Life and Death". This is actually one of the few songs written by guitarist Dave Murray. He doesn't write a lot, but when he does, it's fiyah.
Maiden has six albums in this vein: Brave New World (2000), Dance of Death (2003), A Matter of Life and Death (2006), The Final Frontier (2010), The Book of Souls (2015), Senjutsu (2021). If this is your thing, you guys should stick with this era. Plenty of material to choose from.
Benjamin Breeg was the single. Such an underrated album, chocked full of deep tracks. For the Greater Good of God and Lord of Light are personal fav from this album.
I think you guys would really enjoy the first two Iron Maiden albums with Paul Di'Anno on vocals. A rawer, grittier, almost Punk-like version of Iron Maiden. Not many react to this era, and some would argue it's still the best era of Maiden.
Entire album is pure fire!
If you don't go see Iron Maiden live, you are missing out on an unforgettable experience!!
I'm going in October! So excited to see some living legends jam out. Up the Irons!!
Passchendaele or The Longest Day next please! (do a little read about the battles beforehand)
Brighter than a thousand suns off the same album
Gentlemen, if Iron Maiden ever perform in concert near you, do yourself a favor and go check them out live. They are a spectacle to behold!
The Thin Line Between Love And Hate sounds similar, that song is a journey like this one. You guys might like The Mercenay and The Parchment also.
Glad you guys are giving more Maiden a shot, their output after 2000 has pretty mixed opinions among fans but there are a lot of great songs. They have come to stick to this same songwriting formula more or less, long songs with a quiet intro, powerful verse and chorus with galloping interludes and guitar harmony lines before bringing it all back together with the verse and chorus, but their real strength is in the narratives they put into each song. Id also recommend Dance of Death, The Nomad, or For the Greater Good of God for songs with a similar sound. They have a talent for storytelling that is rare outside of folk songwriters, and yes they do play a lot of these songs live.
They have such a deep catalogue of material that there will be something that should connect with anyone. Glad to finally see one these guys connect to, I promise there’s more so don’t give up…
Iron Maiden have a certain number of songs the play live - because they are crowd pleasers, fun to sing along to and just solid ballads!
Then the other half of their music is like this, excellent to listen to wherever you are, but not necessarily crowd pleasing live songs. This is one of my favorites
This is a really, really underrated album. For the Greater Good of God is possibly the standout track but it's full of proper bangers.
Seeing you guys bop to Maiden warms my heart so much. It takes one song to pull you into the Maiden world, now I hope your hooked.
If you really want to hear an epic song, do Paschendale off the dance of death album. One of my top 10 Maiden songs
They didn’t want to keep repeating similar riffs on every album, so with the classic lineup reunion in 1999, they didn’t just rehash songs like that could easily fit in with their classic 80s albums. They challenged themselves and wrote more progressive music and as a 6-piece band stretched their boundaries. This album is my personal favorite since 2000. So good from start to finish
Thanks for this tidbit of information I've never heard before, that actually makes a lot of sense because there's definitely a slight change in style from "Brave New World" onward. "Brave New World" and Maiden's 1st Self Titled album are my favorite Maiden albums, "Strange World" (1st album, beautiful song) and "Blood Brothers" are my favorite Maiden songs. How do you feel about Maiden's first 2 albums?
Damn last time I heard this song was at least 10 years ago. Thanks for the flashbacks!
Any Maiden Fan knows this is them straight up. Really good album. Got stuck in my car cd player for 6 months and was not upset about it. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think you guys will love Red and the Black song from the recent album. Amazing grooves in that album
"Put them, in the Iron Maiden."
Iron Maiden? EXCELLENT!!!
Awesome reaction as usual. Try " Brighter Than a Thousand Suns", you're gonna love it for sure.
You guys are spot on with this one. Iron Maiden have been guilty of not filling space in there songs and being too busy on complicated arrangements. This song is definitely their best song of this century. The arrangement is straightforward and full sounding and Steve Harris the bassist and main song writer has actually just laid down a good solid bass line. The guitar solo is made so much better because of the simplified approach of the ryhthm behind it.
