Fans of ELO and Juliana Hatfield will love this release; it is a record that can easily be put on repeat and won’t wear out your ears. Top marks here.
Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls
Spill Magazine
70

Other than an exaggerated use of midi instruments and the odd overdose of fantasy lyrics, the album is a keeper and will stand up against any of their classic albums. Had they trimmed the fat by two or three songs, The Book of Souls could have easily pulled in full marks. Overall, Iron Maiden fans will not be disappointed.

The silky layers of guitars, organs, synths, and velvety vocals will put you in a trance and keep you there until the album fades out.

Since 2002’s Enjoy Your Rabbit, Stevens has risen to critical acclaim with his unique brand of trippy acoustic and banjo folk rock; his songwriting and overall artistry get seem to get stronger every album. Carrie & Lowell is his best collection of songs to date.
