Brave New World (album)

Brave New World (2000) is the 12th studio album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden . The album was recorded with the returned singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith and the first Iron Maiden album was with three (!) guitarists. The album was stylistically strong coming back to the eighties. A large part of the tracks, however, was of such a playing time that refrains and texts in the opinion of many fans something '' often were repeated. The title track was a good example. Songs like "Ghost Of The Navigator" and the folky "Blood Brothers", however, showed the subtle and sublime compositional abilities of the band. The album was later considered a decent quality but predictable comeback album.
