Quit? I guess you don't listen to Iron Maiden, just another judgemental looser who gets a kick out of saying bands need to quit when you haven't even listened to their new stuff. And just for the record, this new album is supposed to be better than their previous 2 albums where Bruce returned. So shut the f*** up and grow up.

lol, I'm surprised you actually managed to spell 'Iron Maiden' correctly (excepting a lack of capitol first letters). No wonder your analysis of the band is nothing more than name-dropping a single album and calling them 'old'. How pathetic.

Maiden, baby. All the f***ing way. I wonder if they plan on touring down under?

Hey coco, I speak for everyone when I say you're a queer. Iron Maiden won't quit until they're dead...so deal with it. Brave New World wasn't a bad album, maybe not Maiden's best, but this album is going to be good. If you have enough balls to trash Maiden, you should know enough about their new single. So listen to it, enjoy it, and if you don't, keep your retarded comments to yourself. MAIDEN RULES!

I didn't like Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg but Different World is excellent and Brighter than a thousand suns is allright. So it should be a pretty good album.
