A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH

1. Different World - vise-manje, standardan singl. Zanimljiv riff, standardan Smithov solo. Nista posebno. Ipak, ovu recenicu pisem nakon sto sam sve odslusao, ima nesto u ovoj, pa ocjena 8/10.

2. These Colours Don't Run - ah, dobar stari predobro poznati Harrisov pocetak kao sa pola pjesama X-Factora. Nagle promjene tempa mi se ne svidjaju. Na prvo slusanje, nije me se jako dojmila. Ajmo reci i za ovu - 7/10.

3. Brighter Than a Thousand Suns - oho! To su oni stari trnci na ledjima! Odlican pocetak, prejeben zestoki riff! Nicko se napokon probudio iz bezlicnosti Different Worlda (i Benjamina Breega kojeg sam jos prije poslusao putem Interneta). Malo kasnije upada i galopirajuci riff nakon prvog sola, napokon je Harris ostavio sviranje akorda i laganih melodijica i vratio se dobrom starom stilu. Dobra pjesma. Out of the darkness, brighter thaaaan a thousand suuuuuuns! 10/10

4. The Pilgrim - opa, cool drum pattern odmah na pocetku. Melodija me jako podsjeca na nesto, ali ne mogu se sjetiti sto. Uz Bruceov vokal malo podsjeca na kitice Wicker Mana. Refren podsjeca na Gamma Ray. Za sada dobro. Onda malo powerslaveovskog ugodjaja. Isto dobra pjesma, ali mrvicu slabija od BTATS - 8/10.

5. The Longest Day - od pocetka do 1:35 jako me podsjeca na Dickinsonovu "No Way Out" sa njegovog Best Of albuma... Osim toga, nista posebno, najbolji bi komentar bio "The too-longest song". 6/10

6. Out of the Shadows - pocetak poput Revelationsa uz lagani uvodni solo (Murrayjev, rekao bih). Ovakvo pjevanje nikad nisam cuo na albumima Maidena - govorim, naravno, o onom laganijem dijelu. Jako dobro, Bruce. Ovo je valjda ta pjesma koju nazivaju slicnom Tears of the Dragon. Ja bih je nazvao krizancem te pjesme i Man of Sorrows (poznavatelji Bruceove solo karijere ce znati). Svidja mi se. Jako. A tu je i neka akustara u pozadini, cini mi se, barem tamo za vrijeme solaza. Dobra laganica, super! 9/10

7.The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg - uf. Slabo mi je. Flegmaticna, spora, dosadna, isforsirana pjesma. Bezveze. Ali ovo je prilika da je se cuje u nesto boljoj kvaliteti. Svejedno je dosadna. Zasto su ovo sranje izabrali za singl, nece mi biti jasno. 5/10

8.For the Greater Good of God - opa... Opet stari trnci niz kicmu, ovog puta imamo jedan Sign-of-the-Crossovski ugodjaj u uvodu. Svidja mi se nacin na koji Bruce pjeva uvod, nakon kojeg stvari postaju zesce. Drum pattern jako podsjeca na Ghost of the Navigator. Refren "For the greater good of god" i cijeli dio nakon toga dosta podsjeca na "when you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed, and you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead" iz pjesme Dance of Death. Neciji (rekao bih Adrianov) solo posudjuje temu Wasted Years! :D Jos jedna nelosa pjesma, ajmo reci 8,5/10.

9.Lord of Light - kakav je ovo pocetak? Benjamin Breeg 2? Identican pocetak, za boga miloga! Nemam bas nesto pametno za reci o ovoj pjesmi na prvo slusanje. Onaj lagani dio oko 4 i pol minute mi se svidio. Dalje nista posebno. 7/10

10. The Legacy - kad bi povijest Maidena pocinjala od ove pjesme, rekao bih "nikad vidjeni lagani bass uvod", no, to nije slucaj. Hajde, laganu notu inovacije ovom uvodu daje jaka prisutnost akusticne gitare. Kraj uvoda, i... Oho... Jos malo akustara? Moze! Odlicno, svidja mi se! 2:15 - malo okrestracije, ali, vracamo se nazad na akusticne gitare. Neka. Ovo je definitivno jedna od naj ne-Maidenovshih pjesama, ili barem pocetaka. Da, definitivno dobra pjesma, evo jedne desetke za inovaciju. 10/10

Kao neki zakljucak albuma, ne znam sto jos reci... Definitivno ima dosta zesci i nabrijaniji zvuk od velike vecine svega do sada. Ima par potencijalno dobrih pjesama, ali su zasrali stvar sa pjesmama od 8 i 9 minuta koje imaju previse repetitivnosti u sebi. Nemojte me ubiti, ovo je nakon prvog slusanja.
 
different world - solidan uvod. nista posebno.
these colors don't run mi je najlosija stvar na albumu. ok rijeci ali glazba monotona a i kada je cujes dobije se deja vu osjecaj
steta sto brighter than a thousand suns ima tako puno ponavljanja jer inace bi bila odlicna stvar kojoj nista ne fali
the pilgrim - pjesma mi je ok. niti nakon dva slusanja nista posebno nije mi upalo u oci kod ove pjesme osim istocnjackog melosa glazbe na djelovima sto zvuci cool i monotonosti lyricsa sto umara
the longest day - ma nije losa pjesma ali predugacka je. da je sve ovo u dvije minute kracoj pjesmi bila bi puno puno bolja pjesma
out of the shadows - procitaj pod brighter than a thousand suns
trobb koji sam za sebe nije nista posebno dobro se uklapa u cijelinu albuma
for the greater good of god je predobra stvar cak monotonost lyricsa mi ne smeta jer je jednostavno predobra stvar. tek onaj dio oko 5. minute kada bruce prestane pjevati a prije nego solaza pocne....uuuuu. vrijedi kao pola albuma
lord of the light mi je isto dobra stvar sa malo predugackim uvodom. i na momentima mi se cini da su malkice zeznuli da su mogli bolje napraviti ali sve u svemu dobra stvar ugodna za slusanje
the legacy odlicna stvar. uz for the greater good of god najbolja stvar na albumu. lyricsi si mi mozda cak i najbolji na cijelom albumu. odlican kraj albuma

refreni su mi uglavnom losi na cijelom albumu. bruceov glas je dobar. ono sto je otpjevao otpjevao je dobro, nema bas nekih zahtjevnih dionica. trebati cu opet poslusati album jer cini mi se da nema niti jedan scream. na momente mi stalno ide na pamet misao kako bi mozda neke dionice bolje pasale nekome pjevacu u stilu jon olive. tekstovi ako zanemarimo monotonost odredjenih djelova variraju od vrlo dobri pa do odlicnih.
neke pjesme su predugacke imo.

ukupna ocijena - vrlo ugodno iznenadjenje. definitvno bolji od zadnjih uradaka benda.
 
mislim da ćete svi vi promijenit mišljenje u idućih par tjdana/mjeseci
mislim, da niste mogli tako brzo dobro prosudit o pjesmama :wink:
sorry :oops:

DIFFERENT WORLD (Smith/Harris) 4.17

You lead me on the path
Keep showing me the way
I feel a little lost
A little strange today

I think I'll take a hold
Of whatever comes my way
Then we'll see what happens
Take it day by day

I thought I had it all
I had it all worked out
Just what my future held
That there would be no doubt

But then the card came up
And I look another turn
But I don't know if it's
Fulfilment that i yearn

Tell me what you can hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way
To view the world

I would like you to know
When you see the simple things
To appreciate this life
It's not too late to learn

Don't want to be here
Somewhere I'd rather be
But when I get there
I might find it's not for me

Don't know what I want
Or where I want to be
I'm feeling more confused
The more the days go by



THESE COLOURS DON'T RUN (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 6.52

It's the same in every country
when you say you're leaving
Left behind the loved ones
waiting silent in the hall
Where you're going lies adventure
others only dream of
Red and green light this is real
and so you go to war

For the passion, for the glory,
for the memories, for the money
You're a soldier, for your country,
what's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run, from cold bloody war

There is no one that will save you,
going down in flames
No surrender certain death you
look it in the eye
On the shores of tyranny you
crashed a human wave
Paying for my freedom with your
lonely unmarked graves

For the passion, for the glory,
for the memories, for the money
You're a soldier, for your country,
what's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run, from cold bloody war



BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 8.44

We are not the sons of God
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning

Shadow fingers rise above
Iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh Behold the power of man
On its tower ready for the fall

Knocking heads together well
Raise a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Yellow sun its evil twin
In the black the wings deliver bim
We will split our souls within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns

Bury your morals and bury your dead
Bury your head in the sand
E=mc squared you can relate,
how we made God
With our hands

Whatever would Robert have said to his God
About how we made war with the sun
E=mc squared you can relate,
how we made God
With our hands

All nations are rising,
through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan,
uncertainly leads us all to this
All nations are rising,
through acid veils of love and hate
Cold fusion and fury

Divide and conquer while ye may
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we'll die
There the executioners they lie

Bombers launch with no recall
Minutes warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won't have the time to cry

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the Darkness,
Out of the Darkness,
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness,
brighter than a thousand suns

Holy Father we have sinned



THE PILGRIM (Gers/Harris) 5.07

The keys to death and hell
The ailing kingdom doomed to fail
The bands of sin and heart will break
The pilgrims course will take

Quelling the devils might
And ready for eternal fight
Aching limbs and fainting soul
Holy battles lake their toll

Liberty and hope divine
Changing the water into wine
So to you we bid farewell
Kingdom of heaven to hell

Spirit holy life eternal
Raise me up take me home
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset
Onward journey begun

To courage find and gracious will
Deliver good from ill
Clean the water clean our guilt
With us do what you will

Then will my judge appear
Beer no false angel that i hear
For only then I will confess
To my eternal hell

Now give us our holy sign
Changing the water into wine
So to you we bid farewell
Kingdom of heaven to hell

Spirit Holy life eternal
Raise me up take me home
Pilgrim sunrise Pagan sunset
Onward journey begun



THE LONGEST DAY (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 7.48

In the gloom the gathering storm abates
In the ships gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate

All summers long the drills to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master not your god
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls puking shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate
A choking death enter hell's gates

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire,
and we rush with the tide
Oh the water is red,
with the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

How long on this longest day
'Till we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Till we finally make it through

The rising dead, faces bloated torn
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
You still go on, to hell and back again

Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
The warrior tombs, lie open for us all
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
Blood and sand, we will prevail

Sliding we go, only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire,
and we rush with the tide
Oh the water is red,
with the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

How long on this longest day
'Till we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Till we finally make it through

How long on this longest day
'Till we finally make it through
How long on this longest day
'Till we finally make it through



OUT OF THE SHADOWS (Dickinson/Harris) 6.36

Hold a halo round the world
Golden is the day
Princes of the Universe
your burden is the way
So there is no better time
who will be born today
A gypsy child at day break
A King for a day

Out of the Shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it, to live again

Dusty dreams in fading daylight
Flicker on the walls
Nothing new your life's adrift
what purpose to it all?
Eyes are closed and death is calling
Reaching out his hand
Call upon the starlight to surround you

Out of the Shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it, to live again

Out of the Shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it, to live again

Out of the Shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it, to live again

Out of the Shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it, to live again

A man who casts no shadow has no soul



THE REINCARNATION OF BENJAMIN BREEG (Murray/Harris) 7.21

Let me tell you about my life
Let me tell you about my dreams
Let me tell you about the things that happen
Always real to me

Let me tell you of my hope
Of my need to reach the sky
Let me take you on an awkward journey
Let me tell you why
Let me tell you why

Why should these curses be laid upon me
I won't be forgiven 'till I can break free
What did i do to deserve all this guilt
Pay for my sins with the sake of my soul
Demons are trapped all inside of my head
All hopes are gone reach for heaven from hell

My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy
The pressure of knowing, of hiding what i know
I'm able to see things
Things i don't want to see
The lives of a thousand souls
weigh heavy down on me

I know they're crying for help reaching out
The burden of them will take me down as well
The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain
Reincarnate still in me live again

Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this hell

Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this hell

Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
A destination
Away from this nightmare

Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation
To exorcise this hell



FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF GOD (Harris) 9.24

Are you a man of peace
Or man of holy war
Too many sides to you
Don't know which anymore
So many full of life
But also filled with pain
Don't know just how many
Will live to breathe again

A life that's made to breath
destruction or defence
A mind that's vain corruption
bad or good intent
A wolf in sheep's clothing
Or saintly or sinner
Or some that would believe
A holy war winner

They fire off many shots
and many parling blows
Their actions beyond a reasoning
only god would know
And as he lies in heaven
or it could be in hell
I feel he's somewhere here
or looking from below
But I don't know, I don't know

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Sometimes it seems more like
the blind leading the blind
It brings upon us more of famine, death and war
You know religion has a lot to answer for

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
They find it's ashes that are
scattered across the land
And as their spirits seem to whistle on the wind
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins

And all because of it you'd think
that we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn
Somewhere there's someone dying
in a foreign land
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
Tell me why, tell me why

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of God

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of God

He gave his life for us he fell upon the cross
To die for all of those who never mourn his loss
It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again
Tell me why, tell me why



LORD OF LIGHT (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 7.23

There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you tell to me alone
I can't reach things I can't see
You don't see this strange world
quite the same as me
Don't deny me what I am
Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth
Those are things you can't reveal
Those are things you can't reveal

We are part of some strange plan
Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man
Infernal sacrifice of hell,
Fire breathing lead the way
Mounds of bodies as they burn into one
Revenge is living in the past
Time to look into a new millennium

Spiral path leads through the maze
Down into the fiery underworld below
Fire breathing lead the way
Lucifer was just and angel led astray

Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries

We are not worthy in your black
and blazing eyes
We gather demons in the mirror every day
The bridge of darkness casts a
shadow on us all
And all our sins to you we gave this day

We are cast out by our bloody fathers hand
We are strangers in this lonely promised land
We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost
In our nightmare world the only one we trust

Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries

Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries



THE LEGACY (Gers/Harris) 9.20

Tell you a thing
That you ought to know
Two minutes of your time
Then on you go

Tell tale of the men
All dressed in black
That most of them
Not coming back

Sent off to war
To play little games
And on their return
Can't name no names

Some strange yellow gas
Has played with their minds
Has reddened their eyes
Removed all the lies

And strange it sounds
Death knows no bounds
How many get well
Only time will tell
Only time will tell

You lie in your death bed now
But what did you bring to the table
Brought us only holy sin
Utter trust is a deadly thing

To the prayer of holy peace
We didn't know what was lying underneath
So how could we be such fools
And to think that we thought you the answer

I can't begin to understand in all the lies
But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes
Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow
It really makes sense I can see it clearly now

Tangles up in a web of lies
Could have been a war to prophesise
Unaware of the consequence
Not awared of the secrets that you kept

Nothing that we could believe
To reveal the facade of faceless men
Not a thing that we could foresee
Now a sing that would tell us the outcome

You had us all strung out with
promises of peace
But all along you cover plan was to deceive
Can it put to rights now only time will tell
Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well

Let to all our golden sons
All to pick up on the peace
You could have given all of them
A little chance ... at least

Take the world to a better place
Given them all just a little hope
Just think what a legacy
You now ... will leave

We seem destined to live in fear
And some that would say Armageddon is near
But where there's a life while there's hope
That man won't self destruct

Why can't we treat our fellow men
With more respect and a shake of their hands
But anger and loathing is rife
The death on all sides is
becoming a way of life

We live in an uncertain world
Fear understanding and ignorance
is leading to death
Only the corpses are left
For vultures that prey on their bones

But some are just not wanting peace
Their whole life is death and misery
The only thing that they know
Fight fire with fire is cheap

But if they do stop to think
That man is teetering right on the brink
But do you think that they care
They benefit from death and pain and despair
