Iron Maiden's new album... Well at first I was disappointed, because the single track Wildest Dreams isn't very good. But fortunately the second track Rainmaker had the old Maiden vibe and I started to enjoy the album. Third track No More Lies continues the tradition of Maiden (it's same old Maiden you're used to already).

Maiden's singer Bruce Dickinson should have made a new solo album... but he never finished it. To me it seems that he included songs of his own solo project to this CD. When the sixth song started all that came into my mind was that 'This is a Dickinson song'.

Face in the Sand is a song that could have been in Maiden's earlier album Brave New World... It has the same vibe as Blood Brothers... The two last tracks have the Bruce Dickinson's solo vibe on them... And I must admit that one of my favourites on this album was the last track: Journeyman. So this album had its highlights, but there were also some 'not so good' songs.. So it isn't a perfect album... but very good still.
