Up for a bidding is the 2013 Limited Picture Disc Vinyl Edition of the IRON MAIDEN amazing album SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON.
The vinyl is new and un-played and it is sealed in its original wrapping. The pictures of the actual design in the vinyl surface are stock pictures, this record has never been opened and it is very hard to find in a sane price. Many of you have heard of the myth that picture
vinyl sound bad, well in this case it is not true. This 2013 edition
sound beastly. It will ship carefully package for a safe travel to your
door with a tracking number emailed to the winner of the auction as soon
as the PayPal payment clears. Thanks for looking at my auction and
Happy Bidding!!
Perfection
is usually something bands strive for, and while there are many, many
amazing metal releases existing today, there are only a handful of
absolutely perfect albums. Iron Maiden, being a huge band, might seem
like an obvious choice to praise an album from, but who cares? They've
released quite a few classic albums (as most metal heads would know),
but this release is perhaps the best of their 30+ year existence.
Words
really cannot describe how fantastic this album is. It's a bit less raw
and upbeat than a few of the bands previous works, but that its not is
another contributing factor to its greatness. It's a dark, but polished
album with a chilling atmosphere for its entire duration. Concept
albums, admittedly, can be a bit hit-or-miss for some people, including
me. This album, however, brings its concepts across perfectly. With a
main lyrical theme centered around mysticism and visions of prophecy it
is really quite interesting, and the lyrical themes support the
trance-like experience of listening to this.
Every
one of these songs are great, showcasing some of Dave Murray and Adrian
Smith's best riffs written, Bruce Dickinson's soaring vocals and just
the overall "complete" feel of all of them makes them amazing too. Many
of these songs are painfully underrated and should be mainstays in the
band's set list, especially "Moonchild" and the epic title track, which,
while not as long, reaches the greatness of Powerslave's
thirteen-minute masterpiece "Rime Of the Ancient Mariner". These two
songs are Maiden classics and should be more recognised in my opinion.
There
are no faults in this album; it is flawless. Maiden were at their
creative peak here, and no albums released after this have topped it.
Any fans of heavy metal need this as it is amazing.
