Don't base your opinion of Maiden on their new album! Their next one will be better, andyou can't know that because it hasn't been released yet, asshoal!
O YEH WAT NOW BNIATCH?
In all seriousness, most respectable prog lovers think Coheed and Cambria is shitty. dredg and Oceansize basically own them in every way possible, and are much more similiar to Chode and Cambria than Maiden is.
But yes, I agree, Maiden's new album is slightly a letdown. Although their last album, Dance of Death, was pretty good (albeit that shitty cover. lmao was that fucking horrible).
