Final Frontier

So I kind of forgot this was coming out, but I did end up getting a copy of the new Maiden album yesterday, and surprisingly, there's some really cool stuff on it.  Unfortunately, after the first listen, my overall impression is that the album really suffers from being way too long (10 songs @ 77 mins).  I don't know.  I really like the outer space themes and artwork.  The whole album seems to bleed together, and it just seems that every part of everything goes on too long.  A LOT better than their last offering.  If you like thier recent albums, you shouldn't be disappointed.   Bruce Dickenson's kind of losing it.  I'll get a more cohesive review up on Comfort Comes probably next week after a couple more listens.
