Dance Of Death - A special album

Like every Iron Maiden plant has also DANCE OF DEATH its own unique atmosphere and its peculiarities.
I realized over time that it does not even located in Iron Maiden so much on vermeindlich good or bad songwriting, whether you like a plate or not, it is the very special feeling that every album, including DANCE OF DEATH , radiates and if you do not feel connected to the or. Iron Maiden are 2002/2003 in a special stage: Bruce is back, Brave New World has arrived class, with ROCK IN RIO was a live album brought to the starting line, the self-Live After Death can hold a candle. This naturally raises the question, "How do you continue now, go in which direction the point?", And you can hear that Dance of Death also. With one leg the iron maidens are still in the Brave New World-phase, or in the past: "Wildest Dreams" and "Rainmaker" are to the point and typical optimistic Maiden rockers, but one has the courage to try something new try: the grandiose "Journeyman" is the first acoustic Maiden song ever. Truly groundbreaking are "Paschendale" and the title track, the usher, the progressive phase of the band, which was continued on A Matter of Life and Death, and finally to the final frontier. For me, DANCE OF DEATH is a transition between two phases and that's what makes it special because it has what it takes to beat a bow and useful to connect everything together.
"Wildest Dream", "Rainmaker", "No More Lies", "Dance Of Death", "Paschendale" and "Journeyman" are terrific songs, but unfortunately there are also weaknesses, notably "Face In The Sand" and "Age Of Innocence ", that's why there's only four stars, not five.
I find it increasingly difficult to classify an album of Iron Maiden in the overall context, precisely because all the works are so different. I hear Dance of Death to be very, very happy and recommend it to anyone who is looking for an atmospheric album, put only my heart.

Up the Irons!
