Well, dear listeners, we've reached the end of our Maiden Voyage. Ed and Stu discuss the second half of Iron Maiden's 17th studio album, Senjutsu. There is a significant and nearly catastrophic drop-off in quality with the second half of this album and the guys are not happy about it! The guys discuss how Billboard's change in how they track album …

THIS IS IT! We have reached the final (so far?) Iron Maiden album with Senjutsu! Their 17th studio album was released in September 2021, just one day shy of 6 years after their last album, beating the record set by The Book of Souls for the longest stretch between studio album releases. The album gets off to a strong start and Ed and Stu discuss th…

We're back for the second half of Iron Maiden's first double-album, The Book of Souls. Ed and Stu discuss Bruce's health, the length of this album and the band's longest ever song (Empire of the Clouds at over 18 minutes), and the commercial and critical success of this album. We're so close to the end, beloved listeners! One more album to go!!! --…

We're nearing the end of our work as Ed and Stu discuss Iron Maiden's 16th studio album, The Book of Souls. The band's first ever double album was released in September 2015, over five years after their last album release, marking the longest stretch between two Maiden albums to this point. The guys follow-up on some grammy controversy talk, the ba…

Ed and Stu are back to discuss the second half of The Final Frontier. This was the band's longest album when it was released and Ed challenges Stu to guess the second and third longest albums. The fellas talk about some of the artwork released in connection with the album and barely survive the worst two back-to-back tracks to appear on any Iron Ma…

We're heading into outer space to cover Iron Maiden's fifteenth studio album, The Final Frontier! Ed and Stu discuss the end of the band's 30-year relationship with EMI records (sort of), the half live action, half animated video for the album's title track, the band's non-stop work schedule since the last album and how insane it is that the band's…

As we continue talking about the band's fourteenth studio album, we discuss the "easy" recording process, how Steve Harris and co-producer Kevin Shirley decided not to master the tracks to achieve a more live sound, and the story of how the band's 2005 tour preceding this album devolved into animosity with their co-headliner in North America, Ozzy …

We're covering Iron Maiden's 14th studio album, A Matter Of Life And Death, released in late August and early September of 2006. The album has a loose theme around war and religion and also being a real slog to get through! AMoLaD received generally good reviews and was named best metal album of the year by multiple magazines. Rolling Stone gave it…

Ed and Stu continue their coverage of Iron Maiden's thriteenth studio album, Dance of Death. This half of the album features the band's first fully acoustic track, "Journeyman," and the first song co-written by drummer Nicko McBrain, "New Frontier," which is, of course, about the dangers of human cloning. Everyone was talking about human cloning in…

This week we discuss Iron Maiden's thirteenth studio album, Dance of Death, which was released in 2003. We talk at length about the album art, which may be one of the worst album covers of all time, and provide a history lesson about the Cathars in connection with "Montsegur," one of the band's greatest late-era songs. -----------------------------…

We continue with the second side of Brave New World and discuss the album's mostly very positive reviews, the band's return to chart success around the world and the widely anticipated tour that followed the album's release! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------…

The Blaze era has come to an end and Bruce Dickinson rejoins the band with the release of Iron Maiden's twelfth studio album, Brave New World. After a no longer applicable welcome to the new season (remember what we said in the Season 2 Intro about ignoring references to the Blaze albums being behind a paywall?), Stu and Ed enjoy the band's return …

BONUS ALERT! THIS IS GETTING TO BE A HABIT! We've reached the end of our bloviating Blaze-based bonus content. After focusing our first two Blaze bonus eps on songs by Wolfsbane, the final in our series moves to listening to a few of his most recent releases. Ed listens to a single released in September 2024, "Ghost in The Bottle," and the title tr…

We've reached the end of Blaze Bayley's time as singer of Iron Maiden, as the show covers the second side of Virtual XI. Ed and Stu talk about Bruce Dickinson's solo work overshadowing Iron Maiden's output, but still not selling as strongly as the band's mediocre work with Blaze. The guys also discuss how Virtual XI may be the most Steve Harris dom…

BONUS ALERT! AGAIN! We're back with the second in a series of Blaze-based bonus content. Here, Ed listens to two tracks off Wolfsbane's second studio album, Down Fall The Good Guys, released in 1991. The two singles from the album, "Ezy" and "After Midnight," sound better (production-wise) than the songs from the first album, but did the songs wind…

Ed and Stu dive headfirst into the second, and final, album of the Blaze Bayley era, Virtual XI. They discuss how Iron Maiden's 11th studio album feels like the ebb of this whole podcast process! Released in March 1998, the album was apparently titled Virtual XI to tie-in to both Iron Maiden's computer game, "Ed Hunter," and, naturally, the fact th…

BONUS ALERT! Ed is bringing you the first of a series of bonus episodes listening to some of Blaze's non-Maiden related music. In this first installment, Ed listens to two tracks off Live Fast, Die Fast: Wicked Tales of Booze, Birds and Bad Language, the 1989 debut album from Wolfsbane, the band Blaze left to join Maiden. --------------------------…

We're only two episodes in to the second season and Ed and Stu are already not enjoying themselves. They discuss how this album took the longest to produce of any Iron Maiden album to date, with 18 months of writing, rehearsing, recording and mixing. Blaze reportedly did not enjoy the lengthy process, which aptly describes how Ed and Stu feel about…

It's official! We're back or the start of Season 2 of Maiden Voyage, where Ed and Stu cover the first side of Iron Maiden's 10th studio album, The X-Factor! Released in October 1995, this marks the first album with the band's third singer, Blaze Bayley. Ed and Stu jump right into the thick of it, discussing the wonderfully absurd lyrics of the albu…

That's right, friends! After a lengthy hiatus, Maiden Voyage is returning to continue the chronological journey through Iron Maiden's studio albums. Stu and Ed will pick up where they left off, beginning with the band's 10th studio album, The X-Factor. In this brief Season 2 intro, Ed offers "reasons" for the lengthy delay in releasing new episodes…
