Reviews
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Their three guitarists wield an endless arsenal of galloping riffs and wild solos on the singalong-ready 'The Red and the Black' and the urgent 'Death or Glory.'", "Vocalist Bruce Dickinson packs his lyrics with colorful characters as the music moves from an extended piano-and-strings intro into a majestic pomp-rock-instrumental.", "The pièce-de-résistance is ‘Empire of the Clouds’, an 18-minute prog finalé written by Bruce Dickinson at the piano...", "THE BOOK OF SOULS takes Maiden even further from their punk past and deeper into their prog present. It’s an impressive piece of work...", "Upon THE BOOK OF SOULS the band do, however, sound tighter than ever, offering a raw atmosphere that makes the album sound as though it was almost written in order to be played live."
