My only criticism in recent years is they've over done it with the too many prog rock like tracks dominating their albums. Too many 6 minute plus songs isn't always easily digestible. You need light and shade with a mix of the sprawling story telling epics and the 3 minute belters.Yeah, I’d agree with that.
I didn’t really listen to them before Bruce took the reins and I don’t much like the Paul Dianno era.
Nothing against the guy, just not my thing.
Maiden are one of my favourite bands for all the reasons you write and nobody can deny they are just one heck of a rollicking band.
Seen them live a few times and alongside AC/DC they are one of the best live rock bands I’ve seen.
Yeah they are a bit tongue in cheek and silly but when it comes to laying down pure rock belters they bring it.
