I'm listening through this for the first time and I gotta say, this isn't too bad, I'm actually quite enjoying it.  I sense the Blaze era with some of these songs though, especially A World Without Heaven and Us Against the World.

The production of course, is terrible.  The singer was strange and weak at first, but you get use to him and his voice fits pretty well.  If this had better production just like the last few Maiden albums it would have improved it a lot.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

The reviews for this aren't exactly inspiring me to run out and buy it.   :|

Same here. When I heard about it I thought it would be a no brainer, but vocally I am not feeling it.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

The vocals do grow on you if you give them a good chance.  Second spin through and I still enjoy it.

Despite the album being meh, i think it would be illegal not to go when someone like Steve plays less than 30 miles from your home in a club!!
