For whom is a big fan of the Band, probably will like this work. But in my opinion, this album, is very long and tired after than 90 minutes listening. There are two good musics (speed of ligh and death or glory), but for al it's a kind of boring and i really don't understand the high rates to this album, one of the weakest work of them

Tears of a clown is better than speed of light. Yeah, they should make less long songs. I love them and I still couldn’t listen the entire album until today 😂

I don't think this is Maiden's worst album but it certainly is their weirdest to me. The album kind of feels like another Fear Of The Dark-type record of modern-era Maiden, as in the songs being slightly all over the place. It's like they don't belong together which makes the album feel more like some odd compilation to me. Smith/Dickinson are my favorite songwriters in Maiden and their songs are great as ever. "Speed Of Light" and "Death Or Glory" have become two of my favorite Maiden songs, period. "If Eternity Should Fail" works pretty well as its opener and "Tears Of A Clown" is another highlight, but many of the songs are in desperate need of some trimming. "Empire Of The Clouds" should've also been a stand-alone single release, I think. Perhaps even a Bruce solo single. Overall it's not a bad album, but not particularly strong either. The shorts songs on here are better than those on The Final Frontier, but the long songs are weaker (quite unmemorable) and drag on for too long.

Yeah, the choice of words would not be the form I would choose but I agree with the basic message. I find it highly disconcerting to go after everything Iron Maiden released after 2000 and criticize it. If you don't like it, it's okay, but you don't have to keep rubbing it in someone's face. I think everyone understood that both users think everything Iron Maiden released in the last 20 years sucks. Tastes are different. But if you make No prayer for the dying the best Iron Maiden album, I know at least for me what to think of such tastes.

This should have been called "Exercises in Utter Randomness". Anyway, they can't stretch the so called 'epic' and 'long songs' idea any further, so hopefully they'll come to their senses and start writing concise songs again on the next album and select only the best riffs (if they come up with any in the first place) instead of just using anything they come up with. Oh, and the sound? What the fuck, it sounds like they accidentally put out the raw unmixed recordings instead of a proper mix, it sounds... well, not very good..

The vocals on this album sounds make me feel bad for Bruce. It sounds so overstretched. Hard to listen to.

Gave it a 4 year break . Now listening to it and must admit, it aged well. With BNW and AMOLAD the best Maiden Album after the reunion.

Speed of light is a song about Round 1 and Dave and Busters. Also pc games. Eddie got his long hair back and turned back into a teen.

I'm glad Bruce Dickinson kicked cancer in the ass. I kicked a spine surgery in the ass.

This Fear Factory Cd looks like the Terminatrix. I'll listen to this one by Iron Maiden in a while.

Tears of a clown. I wonder what it sounds like. I'm listening to Fear Factory right now.

It's a grower. On first listen I wasnt impressed but now I'm totaly in love! It takes a bit to get into it which is no wonder considering its hour and a half long.

Just get into a hobby while listening to it. I go for about 2 or more hours walking and this would be about the length of an album to listen to it, LOL!
