Aggressive noise lolol. If you think Maidens music is “aggressive and noisy” I would love to see a reaction video of you listening to something actually heavy like sayyyyy....Job For a Cowboy, Dying Fetus, or even some Slayer lol. Lol

I get goosebumps listening to Rime Of The Ancient Mariner pretty much every time as the guitars and drums are building up right after the creepy bass guitar, and ominous guitars sounding like some ships fog horns in the middle part where the ship is creeking. All the guitars, drums and everythimg comes back in and they hit that A chord perfectly in time with the buildup! Shit is rocking again and BOOM!!! Goosebumps lol. The harmonizing guitar parts in this WHOLE song are pure genius. Iron Maiden is king of guitar harmonizing.

Give them a serious chance. The guitar parts are some amazing stuff. The tempo changes that Iron Maiden implements and the sheer amount of different riffs you will hear in some of their longer songs. 10 min songs are pretty common for Iron Maiden. Heck I think Empire Of The Clouds is like 16 min long!!! They have more creative riffs and tempo changes in ONE SONG than a lot of bands can’t even compete with on a whole album... Seriously. Bruce takes some getting used to if your not used to the “epic” singing/opera style of metal. He’s a great storyteller and imagery creator in his delivery. Just my opinion.
