Juan, i'll have to check our Re-traced, i haven't gotten around to listening to it yet and i'm sure i've got some Evile somewhere, never really grabbed me but i'll have to have another check out of it.
I grabbed a leaked copy of the new Maiden. It's the first time i've ever listened to a leaked copy of one of thier albums but i wanted to hear it before i forked out for it, cheapskate twat that i am. It's very good. But, and there is a but in this, it's not as good (i think) as the last one, in fact it's not even in the same league. Probably as good as Dance of Death (which i did and still do, really enjoy). I will say this, for me personally, El Dorado is probably the single shittest thing they've written in the last 10 years, i've no idea why it's on the album, it sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not growing on me, it gets worse every time i hear it, to the point that i've begun skipping it so it doesn't detract from the album. But from track 3, the albums a blinder, it really is. Nico's performance is superb!
I still need to give the rest of it a few more spins yet, but i'm really liking it so far.
