Re: The Final Frontier

Teraz porządna recenzja. Naprawdę optymistyczna.

After the episode "Countdown" on the official website for us to wait before discovering the album cover, the huge promotional machine Iron Maiden gets truly underway by Wednesday, July 7 by listening in the premises of the record company (EMI) of the much anticipated "The Final Frontier!
After a short wait in the lobby, allowing everyone to enjoy the cool and classy appearance of the premises, we (representatives of press, radio and webzines) are invited to join the auditorium. But before entering into it, the key word is SAFETY. Each participant must sign a contract of sorts spreading over two pages all the commitments it makes in return for listening (basically, it takes three words: NOT LEAK!). After filing the entry all electronic equipment (portable, recorder, iPod, camcorder, GPS, electric toothbrush toaster etc..) We are entering a dark room decorated with the colors of this new album whose cover is projected onto a large screen. Surprise, a welcome buffet breakfast is offered to us (at my age, eating and drinking are the two ultimate criteria for judging an activity whatsoever!).
After an hour of discussion varied (Hellfest, Boutin, tour Maiden, concerts in Paris, etc..) it is now time to discover this fifteenth installment of the Iron Maiden, swung into a powerful sound system (hence a first impression that inevitably will differ somewhat from what we can do at home from 16 August)
Go for a title by title, not necessarily very sharp, plus a plethora of impressions:

1 Satellite15 ... The Final Frontier "(8min40)
A huge roar came from far away, and go to a martial rhythm, with drums chopped and omnipresent. Very far from the openers of previous recordings, this title, which is clearly divided into two distinct parts starts very strong, with big chords and a song that tries to find a place amidst the chaos. Halfway title, there is a bit more rock, more typical ofIron Maiden, with a refrain ("The Final Frontier" packet of four) combined with a melodic guitar. The three scratch themselves to the heart's a tangle of solidarity that can be found throughout the disc. At his, Kevin Shirley has put the small dishes to serve in large Nicko McBrain !

2 "El Dorado" (6min49)
Already available for free download on the band's website, this first single does not quite convinced me but the fact remains that there with a big sound, it is quite effective! A cavalcade of low so typical of Steve Harris coupled with a riff that makes me (a little) recalls that of "Scream Until You Like It" Wasp to start the machine and place under an atmosphere close enough to what the group We proposed to "Brave New World" and especially "Dance of Death" to the instrumental part that it refers directly to the period "Powerslave". This title, with its variations of intensity alright live (expect to reread this several times) even for Bruce, it will not be a pleasure because the rise in the treble is awesome on the chorus (which the ultra catchy melody're not).

3 "Mother of Mercy" (5min20)
After a short intro where the guitar poses a warm light on accompanying her clear, Nicko marks the beginning of hostilities and found a big rhythm typical of the group. The solos are superb and personally I love the refrain that should do well bellow the fans! The transitions are fairly fluid and surprisingly low offers for shots. The conclusion of the piece is quite dry, which allows movement of the next song so enjoyable.

4 "Coming Home" (5min52)
On the intro, the guitars and bass play in unison a theme quiet but convoluted. Just then a sort of ballad whose verses are made up of a game played in arpeggios and clear while the next is the background electric agreements. The structure verse chorus is played identically twice prior to a return of the theme intro leading to a solo air (there are sounds of "7th Son ..."), itself followed by a solo more angry. Certainly a great time on stage. Some routes are very rich on agreements, which do much to think about what can be Dream Theater (Thanks Kevin Shirley !).

5 "The Alchemist" (4min29)
Starting up the floor with the bass running around. Something crazy to tear his fingers. The fast track "the Maiden" par excellence with a solo 200 miles an hour and an end in twin guitars. Direct, simple, efficient, and end dry.

6 "Isle of Avalon" (9min06)
THE BIG TIME!
After an intro bass / guitar (as in almost all titles Epic Group), Bruce sings in a very theatrical and intimate (a sort of declamation in the shade). We feel that it will slam hard. The atmosphere is beautiful and reminiscent of "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner". Indeed, when the storm breaks, it sends severe. The breath of 80's inspired compositions on this plane. Nicko is everywhere, the solo starts in a way limit prog (really innovative in the group directory). A drawer construction, with beautiful rhythmic breaks, solos everywhere who are diving into the depths, this title is an epic musical with Bruce Imperial (another chorus that will be difficult to take in live). A great song!

7 "Starblind" (7min48)
New intro song with a pervasive calm (almost too much sometimes). After the mandala of the song before, it's hard to return to solo it (re ambience "7th son"). There, after a break again very depressed, has a big riff restart the machine to a fury of solos. The rhythmic, sometimes brutal and sometimes kills a small job for this great song that represents a sort of roller coaster intensity. One thinks the appearance prog "Somewhere In Time." Maiden is clearly pleased. The prod is super powerful even if sometimes a bit too all this element is very dense and difficult to digest at once)

8 "The Talisman" (9min04)
Imagine Bruce fireside, accompanied by an acoustic guitar to sound absolutely sublime, with a story (just like on "Dance Of Death") and you get a good overview of the intro song of the eighth. But the intro only, because the boot is a huge "In Your Face"! All musicians are stuffed full and it returns the field without qualms to the chorus, lighter!
Suddenly, joy joy, it was the leak of guitar while the audience will sing in concert (it will be repeated several times in the song). Chip typical Maiden 2000s. A very good time but, like other shots a little unnecessarily prolonged. Another great performance from Bruce !

9 "The Man Who Would Be King" (8min28)
Another long song construction maidenesque to wish (with nice little intro theme and then start scratching on wholesale agreements and twin guitars while Nicko takes stock of the battery). The intensity rises gradually. The solo part is again very beautiful, with a battery that offers plans away from stereotypes group. Nicko is loose and it really gives great emphasis to this passage. Again, there is the guitar everywhere. For cons, I hang around with this song a bit too heavy for my taste. Chunk, but the density of the album begins to have because of my discernment!


10 "When The Wind Blows Wild" (10min59)
A song that contrasts with the rest of the album by his side almost perky. On the intro (accompanied, as required, wind), Bruce goes down really low (it will rest him a little vocal cords on stage!). Even with the arrival of big guitars, the atmosphere is quite light and this one will blow the audience (who take the opportunity to take back the chorus "Do not You Know?".
The second part of the song is more epic themes with six-string that will choose to think "Blood Brothers" or "Fear Of The Dark". Nicko still hits hard, with many setbacks.
The verses contain a form of tension which is released on power chords at the end.
The title ends (those who follow will have guessed) by the wind.

Wow! A dense album, with extensive reference to two distinct periods (late 80's on the one hand, and the early 2000's on the other) but also some really new features (rhythmic structures, solos etc.).. Iron Maiden is loose and we propose a disk more accessible than it was "A Matter Of Life And Death". A wide variety of items which should go live well, although I personally regret the drift towards "always longer. A bit more spontaneity and brevity would not hurt. But we rejoice to see in 2010 a group still in great shape and very well inspired!

In fact, I dutifully listened to the album while taking notes, result: the buffet had been completely devastated when I got close! It's ugly guys prefer to listen rather than Grailler Maiden !

Thank you to Peter, AT (h) OME for the guest and the host (the next time I start with the buffet!)

wreszcie ktoś kto skupił się na słuchaniu muzyki a nie bufecie (wszystko mu zeżarli ;) )

jeśli koleś w miarę obiektywnie ocenił album to przecięcie lat 80tych z 2000, plus szereg odniesień do SiT, 7th Son, BNW czy Marynarza napawają optymizmem :)
tylko że kawałki mogłyby być ciut krótsze ;)

Ja tam nie ufam opiniom, jakoby były jakieś nawiązania do lat 80-ych. Zdaje się, że kiedyś gdzieś czytałem, że AMOLAD ma klimat SIT i SSOASS :D Kiedy płyta stała się dostępna dla zwykłych śmiertelników, nic z klimatu tych dwóch płyt nie odnalazłem ;)

Recenzja jednak zaostrza trochę apetyt na TFF.

Liczę na coś takiego jak ten kawałek. FTGGOG to w końcu najlepszy kawałek na AMLOAD. Tutaj myślę, że najlepszym kawałkiem będzie The Alchemist lub tytułowy.

Mi się to najbardziej w recenzji podoba. Na podstawie tego opisu możemy sprawdzić wiarygodność recenzji i miło widzieć, że go nie przekonał :cool:
zwłaszcza Dave, mocno się obija.
Dave, jak sam mówi, myśli tylko o graniu w zespole, nie ma zacięcia twórczego ;-)

Edycja limitowana oprócz całkiem zgrabnie prezentującego się na miniaturce pudełka ma zawierać dzisiaj ukazany teledysk, wywiad z członkami zespołu, zdjęcia, tapety, oraz mojego faworyta, grę 'Mission II : Rescue & Revenge' sądzę poziomem może dorównać teledyskowi :razz:

Inna sprawa 82 zł, trochę sporo.

Ja miałbym co do tego pewne zastrzeżenia. Nie oczekuje np. realistycznych wybuchów ognia, ale te które są zaprezentowane to były na czasie z 5 lat temu :razz:
