What is bad music?
JD:
But they just wanna get freakky now
Damnable Fiend:
I think Iron Maiden have alot more sort of moody and low key songs (or song parts) these days than they used to. if that counts. As compared to Powerslave and Piece of Mind, anyway.
Certainly their production sounds quite different now, at least.
David_Dovey:
A Matter of Life and Death also had a lot of epic tunes with long instrumental sections and (canned) string sections and wotnot, almost bordering on "prog", dare I say it.
KharBevNor:
Iron Maiden evolve as much from album to album as any other rock band. They don't suddenly switch genres, but, for example, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is demonstrably different to Killers. A band like Iron Maiden can't really be said to be formulaic in the same way as Nickelback or AC/DC, who both just write the same fucking song over and over again; they're largely centred around one idea, yes, but that idea is an unstoppable guitar duo/trio backed up by arguably one of the best rhythm sections in heavy metal, or just in rock in general, and, ideally Bruce motherfucking Dickinson wailing over the top. They don't need to change their fundamental formula because they are actually a great song-writing team who write consistently interesting, if immediately identifiable, music.
The Duke:
Agreed. I am a lot less experienced with Iron Maiden than I am with AC/DC, but I would say that you're right.
