I bought it and rate it a 7 which means for those who don't know I think it's GOOD.
what's so funny?
Oh... I thought you were being like... sarcastically obvious with that statement. 
I kinda was because of all the fanboyism commotion that is happening.
And do you think this is fanboi commotion? take a look at youtube comments, there are a lot pf ppl saying this is the best Iron Maiden Album!  same happened with Death Magnetic. Fanboys make my sick.

To me smaller disillusion...is that a if only mine opinion...waited be by "Maidens" and hereof scrapbooks bittock more... Is that a though above - average board, but except compositions "The Alchemist" and "The Talisman", me annihilate didn't take. I think as though 7 is for her enough high evaluation.

that thing he wrote is worse than what K7 writes, I did not understand anything. At least with K7 I for one understand most of the time, although with a little bit of frustration.

I am one of the "senior" Maiden fans (along for the ride since '82). I finally listened to the new album in full. It's their best work since Brave New World. I will need a few more spins to really digest it - and click the first initial vote - but I have hope...this is more promising than the last two - the put me to "Death" records.

Not there best. but quite good. my opinion, top 3 songs on this album are Coming Home, Isle Of Avalon, and The Final Frontier.
I wish i was alive around the time of Number Of The Beast or Piece Of Mind.
that would have been kick ass!

I really like iron maidens new experimental sound. I think it goes with the subject matter that they cover and it makes it feel alot deeper. Final fronteir is one of my favorite tracks that shows off dickinsons still killer vocals. El Dorado is another with Harris galloping on bass. Mother of mercy is just awesome all around, a heavy song with heavier meaning in the lyrics.

Ok i finally got round to getting it, and now wish i hadnt botherd. The lyrics are dull. Harris rarely writes on his own any more and when he does its nothing exciting. Looks like he still has new ideas (the whole space concept is not a new one i realise but i mean new for maiden) but doesnt seem to have the skills any longer to create great lyrics to go with them. Plus Bruce doesnt have the same strength in his voice that he used too. i know hes getting older and its understandable but if u cant reach a note like you used to then maybe you shouldnt try. The last 2 albums (maybe 3 albums cause Dance of death wasnt great either.) have been very poor. Sad as it is maybe Maiden has had its day. I'd be the last to tell an awasome band with an amazing back catalogue to retire but they are not likely to come back with another great album now and if they cant go out on a massive high then isnt it better to get out now before the standard of their music gets any lower? just my opinion.

I agree with you that Dance Of Death and A Matter Of Life And Death were bad albums, but this isn't the case, in my opinion they come back again with an awesome album, and about Bruce, he sings surprisingly very good in this record, seems like the age is not a problem for him.

Well there are a lot of folks that think the great maiden have never really come back even when Bruce rejoined, but their last 3 albums had some really great moments, in my eyes...
Then they released this............it's not good music but it's terrible for maiden

Very solid Maiden album. I don't think it's as good as A Matter of Life and Death or Brave New World out of all their 2000s era albums, but that doesn't make it terrible (like SO MANY others think apparently). I'd rank it around the same lines as Dance of Death. Very enjoyable album. Hopefully they'll outdo themselves with their next album.

Somewhere In Time is about... well, time. Not space. Space ≠ time, not even in the space-time continuum.

Perhaps, but I've always seen SIT, to a certain extent, as some futuristic concept, kinda related to science-fiction.

Very good album, maybe their best since Brave New World. Underrated just like 'No Prayer For The Dying' (both albums completely different though). Btw this album and 'A Matter Of Life And Death' should be tagged as 'Progressive Heavy Metal'.

I've been a Miden fan for years now (since the 80's) and of course I like some albums more than others. The ones I don't like a bit are the ones they recorded with Blaze... I mean, from hearing Bruce and his awesome voice for years and then hearing this guy, to me it was a downer.
The Final Frontier is not one of my favorites: besides 2-3 songs that I really like from it, the rest sound common commercial Maiden.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still and will always be a Maiden fan, but as it can happen to any recording artist, they have their hits and also their misses... good thing they have had more of the first! Up the irons!!

I think is a pretty lackluster album no doubt, but if the intent was to be a progressive heavy metal album that makes it even worse on it's own merits it's a competently performed but for many (including me), boredom inducing heavy metal album.

This is their most progressive album. Songs like 'Isle Of Avalon', 'Starblind' or 'When The Wild Wind Blows' sound 'almost' like Prog Metal. I wish latest Dream Theater album was that good.

For me, "A Matter Of Life And Death" is far superior to this album. It's far more cohesive, and consistent. Most of the songs on "The Final Frontier" are bland, meandering, and not memorable at all. I agree that No Prayer is very underrated, but not this album. It's definitely one of the worst Maiden albums to me...

Though even as one of Maiden's poorer efforts, it still rate a 7/Good in my book. The Blaze era is quite average though - not many highlights, poor production, over long repetitive songs etc. Blaze did better on his own.
Personally out of the newer Maiden albums I prefer Dance of Death.

It's the second weakest of the reunion albums (better than Dance of Death) but it still deserves a 7-8 rating, primarily because of the second half.

Well, it's not a terrible album in it's own right, but it's still not a patch on Maiden's best albums when taken overall. There's 3 songs on the album I love, the rest range from average, to completely forgettable.
Here's how I'd list the reunion albums, from best to worst:
Brave New World
A Matter Of Life And Death
Dance Of Death
The Final Frontier

Well, then, after listening again with more attention, I'll give a higher note this time (7 instead the original 5 I gave first).
Nice album, but not at the level of the three first ones of the Bruce new era.

Undoubtedly, I enjoy more with every listen this album. Songs like Mother of Mercy and Isle of Avalon have found its niche on me, and Coming Home, that I found it dull and boring is now another nice tune for myself.
I think this album is a grower. Maybe won't get in the listener at first time (specially if we talk about the longtime fans from the 70's-80's) but it will be worth, I can assure it.
Now my rate grows from 7 to 8.

I love Iron Maiden, it's my favourite band. but I can't befriend this album at all. I have nothing against their step towards a more progressive (?) style, since they did it on A Matter Of Life And Death already and I adore that album. The Final Frontier seems very forced, and after many listenings the only thing popping in my mind is El Dorado's chorus. nothing else. Oh, and The Talisman, which sounds like something left off the Matter album.The rest is generic, sounding like the Blaze era (the main theme in The Alchemist sounds very similar to the one in Man On The Edge) mixed with the Seventh Son period. Nicko's drumming is brilliant through the whole album, and he's the one saving most of the songs in my opinion (maybe that's why they really accentuated the drums). The Wicker Man, Wildest Dreams, Different World were great openings, The Final Frontier is nowhere compared to the usual powerful openings of a Maiden album. Of course being unusual is not a bad thing, but it's just very weak as an opening. Well, even if I love Iron Maiden, this album can't get friendly to my ears.
