The new Iron Maiden Single!

A few days ago I picked up the new Iron Maiden single "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" at my local record store. I'm happy to say the song is actually really good, in fact it's stuck in my head right now!

The only problem I have with it is the intro, not because it's bad, just because Maiden seems to put a long intro at the front of every single song these days, whether it needs it or not. I think that started in the "Somewhere in Time" era and they've decided to stick with it, it seems.

The single is also noteworthy because it comes on 10" clear vinyl and includes the "crossed guns" logo sticker you see on the top right.

So anyway, I'm looking forward to the release of the full album on September 5th. If you want to hear the song, check out Iron Maiden's Myspace page here.
