    Pros: rock

    Cons: Dickinson doesn't have the same vocal range as year ago

    This is one great album of 2006, every song rocks in true Maiden fashion. If you liked Dance of Death and Brave New World, you'll love this one, it has basically the same form

    'Life' in a Matter of Life and Death

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 28, 2006

    Pros: Maiden doesn't settle for mediocre music

    Cons: Dickinson doesn't have the same vocal range as year ago

    Iron Maiden does it again, releasing another brilliant album two decades after what is often called their heyday. The third studio album into their rebirth (when Bruce Dickinson rejoined the band for 2000's Brave New World), A Matter of Life and ...Death musically picks up where 2003's Dance of Death leaves off, particularly as "Different World" kicks off the show. Here we've got more songs with heaven-and-hell lyrics, flavourful intros and outros sandwiching the meat of an antiwar epic (there are several here), and three guitars that at times sound like entire orchestras. The tone changes in the middle of several tracks, often to something unexpected that still fits the overall experience (especially on "For the Greater Good of God" and the "Legacy"). This approach makes it difficult to know when one song ends and the next begins, but Life and Death is meant to be heard as one piece of work, which is not the case with earlier albums such as Number of the Beast and concept album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. While one could criticize that Iron Maiden uses similar ingredients on this album that they used on Dance of Death, there is still a lot to be heard with this approach, and it results in life in A Matter of Life and Death.

    Album of the year!!!

    Pros: -

    Cons: -

    As a long time follower of these heavy metal legends I can honestly say that Iron Maiden on this record have reached the zenith of songwriting and creativity, so by the quality of songs, for me this is the best Maiden album to date. All songs are exc...ellent, not a single average track. This is a must buy for all Maiden and Heavy Metal fans. Read more Less

    It Only Took 30 Years....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 1, 2006

    Pros: Old School Iron Maiden!

    Cons: Even though I love em, they sound a little dated....

    30 years into their heavy metal career, Iron Maiden debuted at number 9 with this new album! Iron Maiden has always been my favorite metal band, and this new recording proves that the boys still have their chops! If you're an old fan, go ahead an...d buy it-you won't be disapointed. If you've never listened to Iron Maiden, then you ought to buy this album just to check em out! Read more Less

    Return of Greatness

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 18, 2006

    Pros: Bruce Dickinson continues to Marvel

    Cons: It will be hard for Maiden to top this Album

    In my opinion this newest release from Iron Maiden is amazing. It is a return to what made Maiden the greatest Metal band there is. Sure their previous release Dance of Death was good but this new album is leaps and bounds better. Bruce Dickinson con...tinues to show that he is the perfect Front man for the band as he belts out songs like “These Colours Don’t Run” and “The Reincarnation of Benjamin Bregg”. I have been listening to Iron Maiden for over 20 years and I am shocked at the continued quality of the albums they release. Very few bands have managed to consistently impress for as long as Maiden has. Read more Less

    Maiden does it again!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 15, 2006

    Pros: -

    Cons: -

    While A Matter of Life and Death sounds very Maiden-like, the album has more of a progressive feel than the last few releases. Fans of Seventh Son will love this one. Songs are lengthy epics with thought provoking lyrics. Guitar work is impressive fr...om the band's trio of axe grinders and Bruce Dickinson shows that he still has the pipes that made him a legend in the genre. The Legacy and The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg are especially good. Longtime fans will not be disappointed. Read more Less
