Product Description

Iron Maiden: Bruce Dickinson (vocals); Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Jannick Gers (guitar); Steve Harris (bass); Nicko McBrain (drums).
Recorded at Sarm Studios (West), London, England.
Thirteen proves to be quite the lucky number for Iron Maiden as DANCE OF DEATH, the 2003 studio offering by these metal legends, picks up where BRAVE NEW WORLD, its predecessor and first album reuniting Bruce Dickinson with the band, left off. In keeping with Maiden's penchant for looking to history and literature for inspiration, songs like the eight-minute plus "Paschendale," with its light use of strings and intriguing time changes, is based on a historic World War I battle. Likewise "Montsegur," a song soaked in soaring leads and a galloping rhythm follows a similar path as an ode to the Cathars, a French religious sect that established its own civilization in the Middle Ages. To be sure, there's more than enough Dark Age-inspired drama in the shape of the supernatural title cut and stampeding "New Frontier," but this U.K. sextet throws a true curve by way of "Journeyman," a closing cut shrouded in strings and acoustic guitar that's every bit as moving as anything else on DANCE OF DEATH.

前作を絶賛していた評論家ｻｲﾄﾞのﾌﾟｯｼｭが今作では薄かったような気がするが（気のせいか？）、こちらの方が、より練り上げられた作りだと思う。ただ、「なんだこりゃ」と言われることも厭わないような冒険的な試みは欲しかった。一種の遊び心もﾒｲﾃﾞﾝには不可欠な要素だと思う。

最初聞いたときの印象は決して良くなく、地味な感じがしました…が、聴けば聴く程素晴しく思えてしまいます。６人編成になってからの彼らはよりプログレッシブ的アプローチをしていますが、ただ単に難しい事をしている訳ではなく、魅力的な楽曲を創り出す才能はさすが！です。タイトルトラックは７分を越える大作ですが、飽きさせる事なく一気に聴かせます。
