It's Maiden, but sounds like a new, slower Maiden.

Iron Maiden is one of my favorite bands, however, this is by far not one of their best. I'm glad Bruce Dickinson is back, but I saw Blaze in San Antonio and thought the songs they did from that album more interesting and concert worthy. Iron Maiden has a great history, but this release is average. AGE OF INNOCENCE is a good song for the times and based more on reality than fantasy. The rest of the album does not flow quite as well and may require the listener to be patient to the new, slower Maiden style and repetitive choruses.
