Query: some of the maiden's best

This album has fully restored my faith in the band. After hearing the boners of the Blaze days, I was very cautious. I had been a faithful fan up until then and felt abandoned when they put out a pair of mediocre albums. After a successful album in Brave New World, I wondered if lightning could strike twice. I had heard from so many places that Dance of Death was no good, so I actually held off until May '05 to buy it.What a chump I was! I missed out until recently on some of their best work. It's so reminiscent of their early work, yet melded with their new sound. So many songs are of the Icarus/Invaders/Trooper/ calibre with the sonic power of 7th Son. Sorry, but people asking for Maiden to change are just looking for someone to put out another stinker like St. Anger. As long as the boys from the Beast are putting out albums of this quality I'll be buying them on the release day from now on.
