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

[TheDescent]

Pros:
- 6 songs
- Di Anno on vocals

Cons:
- No Out of the silent planet, Wasting Love, Wrathchild
- NO ALBUM SORTING!!! Worst thing EVER

[FairwoodStudios]

Yep, longer than all of The Cars self title album!

And longer than Doolittle. But to be fair everything's longer than Doolittle.

I was actually listening to Iron Maiden yesterday and added Hallowed Be Thy Name to my iPod.
I did listen to Flight of the Icarus and did remember it was very meh.

Going back to my first impressions shtick either in my next class or when I get home.

- NO ALBUM SORTING!!! Worst thing EVER

Oh yeah. That sucks.

[Lowlander2]

Dammit, now I have to go back and buy the rest of the Maiden. And I left a lot out. Big mistake, I know.

Easily the best dlc this year!

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

Sure I get that they're a big band, and I've even got a few of their DLC tracks, but they're very well represented in RB already. I know that this doesn't matter at all to fans of Iron Maiden, I know that there are any number of reasons for other bands being less well-represented, and I know that there isn't any set limit to the number of songs that an artist "should" have in RB, but that doesn't stop the week being any less meh for me.

I've looked at the greater picture. It's pretty great.

So disappointed that this is what all the fuss was about.

Will cherry-pick a few, but I haven't re-downloaded any of the old Maiden and have no plans to, so yeah... this is not at all what I was hoping for. To be expected though.

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

1. We've gotten Maiden ONCE before. One pack. And we got a cover of a Maiden song once (well, twice, but one of them never exported) - which doesn't count.

2. The word 'epic' was used very deliberately. These are epics. It's even in the track pack title.

Not a huge Maiden fan but is that song choice awesomely unexpected or what? A pro upgrade too you say? HMX couldn't have picked a better one but I am pretty darn old.

My first Maiden Song I remember liking was FoI.

Second was Run to The Hills...

I will get most likely the whole pack sooner then later, but because of funds, will cherry pick Flight, and Mariner first...

Unless I win a pack in the sweepstakes.
