The intro is in my opinion very hard food. I have not often managed so far, by listening to it "Final Frontier" without FFWD function. But it's better then the actual opener going.
Final Frontier & El Dorado are well-done numbers have initially but not yet convinced me one hundred percent. But what comes after these 2.5 numbers (incl. Satellite) is just terrific.
With Maiden Final Frontier has succeeded once again an unqualified success. Once again, the band manages to steer their typical trademarks in partially new, more progressive realms and still lose no little authenticity and "Maidenhaftigkeit".
Hats off, after so many years still deliver something new without losing one's identity is possible only very few.
As can be so many young and old band cut a slice ... to check them out, I recommend "Coming Home" and "The Talisman".
Up The Irons and I'm looking forward to the next release.
