IRON MAIDEN : "Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg"
Masked Jackal | Ft. Lauderdale, FL United States | 09/13/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Are you kidding me?!?!....



This has to be one of the coolest Maiden releases I've ever heard. "Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg" starts off creepy and slow, then all of a sudden plunges into some of the heaviest moments Maiden has displayed in decades. There's a middle section to this song that just sends chills down your spine....



I can't get enough of "A Matter Of Life And Death", I think it's the best Iron Maiden release since "Seventh Son" back in 1988. "Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg" is one of the many great songs on this new epic release, and I'm sure if you're a Maiden fan, you'll love it. Twenty years later, Maiden has been reborn in my opinion....

Very promising preview to the next iron maiden record
Concerned One | Clarinda, IA | 08/31/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the first single off the new Maiden Album "A Matter Of Life And Death" which will hit stores in the USA on September 5th, 2006, available in Standard and Delux Editions (With DVD). This Single is Available on CD and on Clear Vinyl. This song is very reminiscent of Somewhere in Time/Stranger in a Strange Land Maiden, this is an Epic song. Even the promo video on their website tosses back to the "flight of icarus" video.



Again filled with a haunting guitar intro, slow and soft vocals begin to unfold the story of Benjamin Breeg. Then the song bursts out into a great guitar driven melody that grabs you and won't leave your heads. There are plenty of dueling guitar slabs to make any metal head very happy. There is a two track version with Hallowed be thy name live (Radio One Legends sessions) and a three track version that has Run to the Hills live and The Trooper Live (radio one sessions). Get either of these singles, you will not be dissapointed."
Birth of and Elephant
Edward Monk | Sao Paulo, Brazil | 09/04/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Well, "birth of an elephant" is what Maiden members say about the rather lenghty writing process of Dave Murray. But is worth waiting for: the man knows how to deliver a blues-based riff in a metal context.

This song in particular is the best Murray track since Still Life and an adequate appetizer for the new album.

Congratulations to Maiden, for seeding this quite barren 21st Century musical world. God bless you!"
