Iron Maiden are back with their 15th studio album. Unlike the plodding "Matter of Life and Death" or worse the bloated "Dance of Death" this album is a return to form with tracks hitting epic peaks but still hold your attention. There are also a few 5 min masterpieces such as 'Mother of Mercy' or 'The Alchemist'. One 10 min gem that stands out is 'The Talisman' which builds to a crescendo underscored by Harris's classic rumbling bass and matched only by Murray's trademark galloping riff. As for Dickinson: His chops may be more mature but haven't aged a bit as he hits the high notes with effortless ease. Not bad for a guy pushing 55!
