Our Take

IRON MAIDEN's "Virtual XI" is an album that boldly straddles the line between classic heavy metal and experimental prog rock, with all the finesse of a spandex-clad rock god.

From the opening track "Futureal", listeners are immediately transported to a world where soaring guitar solos and thunderous drumming reign supreme. Bruce Dickinson's vocals are as powerful as ever, guiding us through a sonic journey that is equal parts adrenaline-fuelled and introspective.

The standout tracks on this album, such as "The Clansman" and "The Educated Fool", showcase IRON MAIDEN at their absolute peak, blending complex musical arrangements with thought-provoking lyrics that will leave you pondering the mysteries of the universe.

While some may argue that "Virtual XI" lacks the raw energy of the band's earlier work, it is undeniable that this album represents a bold leap forward in their evolution as musicians. The production quality is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line clearly defined and perfectly balanced.

In conclusion, "Virtual XI" may not be the most accessible entry point for newcomers to the world of IRON MAIDEN, but for die-hard fans and connoisseurs of fine metal, this album is an absolute must-listen. So plug in your headphones, crank up the volume, and let yourself be swept away by the epic soundscape that is "Virtual XI".
