Rain on the Graves is yet another beautiful example of Bruce Dickinson being a phenomenal story teller. The nuance, the story, the music, every bit of it was theatrical and I can’t get that chorus out of my head. The music video was amazing and I love how it really made me ponder the story in the video. Amazing stuff. I’m more anxious to hear The Mandrake Project

Sounds like a generic stoner rock song with its one-phrase chorus taken from the Maiden playbook of last 20 years. So far I’m slightly disappointed by the first two singles, but then again King in Crimson and Killing Floor didn’t give a very good impression back in the days either.

When I first heard Rain On The Graves, the guitar work and build into the chorus gave me a Bloody Hammers vibe, at least musically. After a few more listens though, it did settle into my mind as a Bruce song through and through. Absolutely love it.

I think the problem with all the teasing of the Mandrake Project, and us all being such big fans of BD and Maiden is . We’re expecting the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, so we all feel slightly disappointed at first , a bit like opening a Christmas present as a child and it being what you hoped for , but I have total confidence that this will be a masterpiece, in my opinion he should just have give us the full album in one go on the day of release, you know how band used to do not throwing us teasers like throwing chickens in a pond piranhas for us to fight over the bait lol 😂 sorry for getting a bit deep , keep rocking guys and girls 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

I feel that no song of this album will be able to stand on its own in a sense that they will all work together better listening to one after another as a whole. Having said that , i am not really excited overall from both singles and still think that Bruce;s Magnus Opus will forever be Chemical Wedding. This song reminds me a bit of Devil on a Hog actually as it has this hard rock feel to it.Anywayz as i said we will have to wait and listen to the whole album to fully grasp it and appreciate it.

Very well put together, man. I agree, they are having fun. Roy Z’s opening Riff obviously had me hooked and it was going to take a lot to turn me off from the song after hearing that. Tanya O’Callaghan.. what a talented and beautiful musician. You could tell the whole band was really into the characters. Hoping to catch them live if/when they come to the US and I do hope that you and other Ukrainians are able to see this tour as well. As for that chorus… it has been living rent-free in my head the last two days. Love all of it! *Crossing fingers Adrian joins this awesome band on tour.*

I like the song and love the video, but am hoping this is one of the more average tracks on the record. I am hoping for material like The Book of Thel, Darkside of the Aquarius, etc. I love when his solo stuff has a lot of dramatic changes. I saw him 2Xs on Accident of Birth, but now live in an area of America where he will most likely not play. So, not sure I will see him this time.

I hear a nod to The Devil Went Down In Georgia in the verse with the 4 on the floor thump. Is it Limerick? At lest a little bit of USA Southern twang came directly from the Scots and Irish. I dig this little ensemble. Indeed, Bruce as Leo of Iron Maiden is something of a caged lion what with the narrow channel of options available in the Steve Harris Empire's curiosity cabinet. To me Maiden has just been recycling and remixing their 5 or 6 color palate, where just adding theater to the mix beyond a dancing and stage engulfing Eddie plus allowing the dark Blues to cut the gallop out for a little while, walking speed allows different details to emerge than always feeling like you're on a horse and then you've got at least 12 colors, and a whole wheel of tones and feels to explore. I dig it. I also see a lot of Terry Gilliam and Monty Python influence in this. Excellent stuff.

I am not a fan of this specific track. First of all, I never listen to a new track while watching the video that accompanied it. It's about the music and video is always distracting. Ok, the track. Nice opening riff but it quickly takes a downward fall for me. The "verse" is more spoken than sung and it doesn't build as I wish it would. The chorus? This is where I really have issues. One of the things that has really turned me off about Iron Maiden (I have been a huge fan since the debut album was released) is when the chorus repeats the same lines over and over again!! "Fear of the Dark. Fear of the Dark, Fear of the Dark".."We're Blood Brothers! We're Blood Brothers, "We ......" STOP!!! And what happens here?? "Rain on the Graves, Rain on the Graves, Rain on the Graves"....UGH!!! Roy Z is outstanding, and his solo is wonderful. But this track doesn't stand up compositionally in my opinion. It needed a bridge or another section to transition from the solo back to the opening riff. This wouldn't replace anything from "Accident of Birth", 'Chemical Wedding", or "Tyranny of Souls". It's just one song..and I can't love everything, but I was disappointed.

I’m a huge fan of Bruce Dickinson and iron maiden. I love Bruce’s solo work, in fact, I love all of it for different reasons. But I think this album given where Bruce is in his career should be better than it is. While I don’t believe it’s the worst album he’s made., I do believe that some of his risk-taking has not paid off, in particular, the making of the videos. Let’s be honest people the videos are awful. But Bruce’s vocal ability has severely declined, and we can’t pretend that it hasn’t.
