Well, after so much hype, "just" a new song feels underwhelming... they started the whole WOTW thing months ago for just a single track? without even saying or HINTING it's a song from a new album? I mean, it's certainly a first for Maiden in their entire carrer, "here's a new song just because".
Having said that, I like it! Is it the freshness of it, or does it actually sound fresh and new and not "just another Maiden song"? I mean, it's no slow intro song, no anthemic Wicker Man wannabe song, no galopping bass... if you'd sell me this as a Bruce solo song, I'd totally fall for that. and I mean it as a compliment, it's nice to have a new song that doesn't let us think immediately "Ah, here we go again with the same kind of song".
Bruce sounds great as usual, but he's low in the mix. Like they want to hide him away, why? he's good as ever!
Anyway, love the song, video is cool, I just think the hype was worth of an album announcement, not a single song release without even the hint of a future album to come.
