5/22 DLC Discussion Thread - Iron Maiden Epics 6 Pack!

[CloudWolf]

Hey Henry, why does the announcement state there are no keys in Infinite Dreams? Are they not charted or did you guys forget to put the "O" after the song? Because I can clearly hear keys in the song and announcement trailer on the site.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's fixed.

[Catch-22]

Man HMX why do you have to release Maiden and Rage while I'm away on vacation? I'm blowing all my money and I have to spend more when I get back? I'll have to sell my car.

Rock on peoples. My migraine is flaring up again (damn daylight), so I best check out.

Yeps - pretty much this. Really disappointing. Still, my own fault for letting hype from the mods build my expectations - a foolish thing to do given how individual taste in music can be.

The mods didn't hype any of this. We do that all ourselves. They just sit back and watch, and aren't really feeding into it.

They just give their honest personal opinion on how excited they are about any of this stuff.

Nope, can't stand that album. I have yet to figure out why it is so popular when the albums before and after it are so much better sounding... opinions!

I agree..other than Hallowed, TNOTB is overrated

I wouldn't exactly call an Artist we've had 2-3 times with 10+ songs already an epic update.

It's literally an epic update, the way the "special PAX announcement" was literally a special PAX announcement.

And even though we've had them before, this is still a huge name, and one that we never thought we'd get masters of until a couple of years ago when we did.

For me personally, HMX won't have to try any harder than usual to beat this DLC week ^^

Oh well, fingers crossed the RBB new artist reveal will be more my cup of tea! :-D

like them or not, you cannot over hype Maiden. Huge , important band when you look at the greater picture

[MourganDespana]

People who have read my posts for years know why I am giddy.

Finally I get Flight of Icarus.

This is a very early Maiden classic - the unison bonuses are going to be SICK.

Interesting, I think this is the first time I've seen excitement for unison bonuses.

I guess a follow up question would be...is it charted?

The spoken intro is not charted.

If it's all devil-horns on guitars...no thanks.

Only five of them are devil-tier on guitar.

It generally gets credit for its influence, but yeah it's not the most consistent set of tracks. I love Hallowed, Run to the Hills, The Prisoner and Children of the Damned, but I always thought Invaders was lame and I never got what people saw in 22 Acacia Avenue. Seventh Son is probably my favorite Maiden album (of the earlier era, anyhow, my favorite newer album is Dance of Death) and is well represented in this pack!
