In Antwort auf:sehe ich 100%ig genauso! Mir wär auch ein kürzeres Dance of Death oder Brave New World lieber gewsesen, wenn man dafür den einen oder anderen lahmen Song gestrichen hätte.
Ist doch egal, das Album hätte dasselbe gekostet ____________________________________________________ "Schmale Seelen sind mir verhaßt: Da steht nichts Gutes, nichts Böses fast." NIETZSCHE up the irons!

Schon, aber man müsste nicht ständig die Skip-Taste betätigen oder sich eine "Best of BNW" brennen... ===================== 665 - Almost Evil http://www.bastard-nation.de

Na ja, das gute ist, das es viele viele Menschen gibt, die viele viele verschiedene Songs gut finden. Also werden alle Songs von BNW und DoD ihre Anhänger haben ____________________________________________________ "Schmale Seelen sind mir verhaßt: Da steht nichts Gutes, nichts Böses fast."

So wie früher wird`s nie mehr,verstummt sind alle Schrameln,eut`regiert der Nasenbär, Dies`Land, es muss vergammeln! Drum singen heut`noch alle vereint am Opernballe: Er lebe Hoch! Wo ist der Kaiser? Er lebe Hoch! Wir brauchen ein Idol! Er lebe Hoch! Wo ist der Kaiser? Dieses Land braucht Ihn und keinen Rock & Roll!
ist schon komisch, aber dieses Stück Navigate the seas of the sun geht einem wirklich nicht mehr aus dem Kopf... Jetzt kann man auch A Tyranny of souls "anhören".

Habe ich dann auch sofort getan. Nur sehr schade das man lediglich sehr kurze Fragmente aus den Songs hört. ____________________________________________________ "Schmale Seelen sind mir verhaßt: Da steht nichts Gutes, nichts Böses fast." NIETZSCHE up the irons!
Ich bin auch überrascht von den Tracks und freue mich auf das neue Album..es klingt nicht so schwer wie Chemical Wedding das mir nicht so 100% zusagte! __________________________________________________ Meine Band: http://www.wishingnightfall.de

Tyranny of souls klingt jedenfalls nicht wie DoD und das ist für mich entscheidend.
Die neue BD scheint einen Spagat zwischen traditionellen und zeitgemäßem Heavy Metal zu vollbringen und es klingt echt geil!!! ____________________________________________________ "Schmale Seelen sind mir verhaßt: Da steht nichts Gutes, nichts Böses fast." NIETZSCHE up the irons!

Das hört sich echt geil an! Bin auch schon sehr heiss auf die Scheibe! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im EMP Review schnitt ToS eher durchwachsen ab. Der Kritiker war nicht so überzeugt von Dickinsons neuer Scheibe. Aber wir laasen uns nicht entmutigen. ____________________________________________________ "Schmale Seelen sind mir verhaßt: Da steht nichts Gutes, nichts Böses fast." NIETZSCHE up the irons!
"And so we lay, we lay in the same grave, our chemical wedding day"... Those last words from Bruce Dickinson’s final track, "Alchemist" ("Chemical Wedding", 1998) have been haunting my ears for the last 7 years. I must admit that though I always was and still am a huge Iron Maiden fan, I always loved Dickinson’s solo efforts more, during the 90’s. Well, whatever my likes or dislikes may be, we’re talking about one of Heavy Metal’s greatest vocalists/composers ever.
Bruce’s solo works always gave me the chills, always gave me a huge mental boner and made me want to "melt" my CD player because of repeated overuse... With the only exception being his debut solo "Tattooed Millionaire" (1990), which I really don’t like (Dickinson-wise), the releases that followed after his departure from Iron Maiden (after "Tattooed Millionaire"...) till the day they got back together again (in 1999) were pure masterpieces. From the sensory arousing "Balls To Picasso" album (1994) to the Hard Rocking "Skunkworks" (1996) and from - probably his most significant "trademark" - "Accident Of Birth" album (1997) to the mystical vibe of "Chemical Wedding" (1998)...Bruce Dickinson has proven to be one of the "darkest" soul-scavenging Heavy Metal composers around. That’s what made his works always so much different than Iron Maiden yet successful in comparison to other renowned artists’ solo attempts.
I was really anxious and anticipating to stretch my eardrums to the sound of Dickinson’s solo comeback, "Tyranny Of Souls"! I would constantly wonder the same things you’re probably wondering right now as you read these lines. "Is Dickinson going to continue pumping great albums like he triumphantly managed to do during the 90’s or is it unfortunately time for a mediocre or even bad album?"... thoughts like this one tyrannized my soul till the moment I pressed the ‘play’ button.
The Intro nails you to your chair as an electrified atmosphere of mystery pours out of your speakers and onto your floor while Dickinson opens his book of (his metal) revelations. "...didn’t you come this way here before, a million years ago?..." says Dickinson’s voice and I’m getting chills the size of a giraffe’s neck, as if I knew what was going to follow. To put it another way... "Abduction" kicks off and 10 seconds into the track you’re swirling your head round and round while screaming "he’s back!" (with a smile of deep satisfaction arising). "Abduction" doesn’t really remind me anything apart maybe from a bit of "Accident Of Birth" (the album) because it’s heavy with fast tempo shredding guitar riffs.
That certainly hadn’t prepared me for the third track of "Tyranny Of Souls", "Soul Intruders". The song starts off with a really fast double bass drumming (!!!) which really makes you feel as if this is a leftover intro from one of Rob Halford’s songs on his "Resurrection" solo album. It’s one of these times when you really don’t care whether that’s because of Roy Z being involved in all of these gentlemen’s solo works or because of whatever. The intro will get you to drop on your knees and headbang like wild. Of course, though it would be even cooler if the entire track was done in the same pace it kicks off (and ends) with, the slowing down into a more mid-tempo song does not make you like it any less.
"Kill Devil Hill" is an opus! I really needed to hear a Heavy Metal song in the vibe of "KDH". Roy Z’s a true riff-master! This guy should be given tons of credit as a musician because he’s responsible for shaping Heavy Metal into its existing form, during the last 10 years (Dickinson, Rob Halford, Judas Priest, Masterplan, Helloween, Rob Rock etc). He’s either engineered, played the guitar or helped in any other way on so many albums, I’d probably need a huge review just for his (always ongoing) contribution to Metal/Rock.
Now for "softer" moments of daydream travel Dickinson always has something good in store. So, like "Jerusalem" ("Chemical Wedding") or "Change Of Heart" ("Balls To Picasso"), "Navigate The Seas Of The Sun" is a seemingly soft song yet quite heavily filled with meanings only Dickinson knows how to "place" within his lyrics so elegantly. Then we move on to "River Of No Return" which will really remind you of a slight blend of "Chemical Wedding" (once Bruce starts singing) and - then for a few seconds you have a weird feeling - a track off Iron Maiden’s "Number Of The Beast" is going to pop in somewhere at that point. Nevertheless, interesting and in its way profound, as almost the entire album is.
"Power Of The Sun" is another combination of head-crushing riffs and drumming combined with Dickinson’s exceptional vocal performance (as always). Personally I believe that this song will become one of your favorite tracks off this album - most likely...fore sure!
"Devil On A Hog" and "Believil" remind me (especially the last one) of "Accident Of Birth" and "Chemical Wedding" respectively, being probably the "bad" (there’s nothing really bad about this album) points on "Tyranny Of Souls" though "Believil" has a really powerful and mystique atmosphere. The same-titled final track couldn’t be more perfect to end this album. To your unsatisfied hunger, "A Tyranny Of Souls" comes to an end and you find yourself singing "A tyranny of souls, that love has lost, a tyranny of souls, a Pentecost...". An ending only the "Air raid siren" would be able to come up with.
To conclude this long album review (how could it not be long when we’re talking about someone like Dickinson?) I want to say that it’s always great when one of your favorite artists manages to beat your fears of failure down to the ground, proving that Heavy Metal will overcome these times of utter musical crap (more or less - though we’re getting out of that situation slowly, slowly - starting with 2004 and this year). If you want to put your money where it’s worth it then just go buy "Tyranny Of Souls" when it’s out and let’s all just raise our middle fingers towards trendy non-believers and headbang to the sounds of this awesome album!
- Album Highlights: "Abduction", "Soul Intruder", "Kill Devil Hill", "Navigate The Seas Of The Sun", "Power Of The Sun" and "A Tyranny Of Souls"
P.S. No, I have no idea who Maestro Mistheria is, the "mystery" keyboardist on this album. Some things remain well kept secrets...or we’ll have to find out soon, I guess. P.S. I love Dave Moreno’s drumming!
"As the wind wips over the hillside Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill Steady wind blows over the sand Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill As the breezed went straight as an arrow It begun over Kill Devil Hill Gasoline and the wind in the wires Kill Devil Hill and the way to the sky"
4/5 Excellent
