Maiden Voyagers

You didn't think we were going to make you wait two weeks, did you? Oh, you. No, this time we're being uncharacteristically ahead of time and jumping back in to Iron Maiden's A Matter of Life and Death. No albums left behind!

This is the last episode for this "season", we're going to regroup a little and figure out what's coming next (other than The Final Frontier, of course). It's been lovely hearing from you all since last week's episode, we'll try not to be gone too long!

Anything helps make us more visible!

They said it'd never happen! They said it couldn't be done! They said the podcast was dead!

They were wrong!

 

...ahem.

Yes, faithful listeners, we are finally back to tackle Iron Maiden's 2006 album, A Matter of Life and Death. For whatever reason, recording these episodes was completely cursed but we finally got a chance to sit down at the end of last year and crack on. 

And boy, do we waffle on. Both episodes on the album are dead long, so join us as we make up for a few months of inactivity with a couple of bumper episodes - Part 2 drops next week!

This week, your voyagers continue their trip into Bruce Dickinson's solo discography with their second part exploring Balls to Picasso and its recent reimagining, the imaginatively titled More Balls to Picasso.

Join them as they dive in to the material proper this time, both in its original and gussied up 2025 forms, along with some other nonsense.

With its recent reimagined re-release, it seemed only fitting that Bledd and Sam take a look at Bruce Dickinson's idiosyncratic second album, Balls To Picasso.

Join the Maiden Voyagers in the first of this two part side-quest as they look at the album's troubled development and discuss the two other albums that could have been!

Is it just me or does it feel like this season is lasting forever? But hey, after another impromptu break for unexplained reasons (blame life), we are back to provide your regularly scheduled Iron Maiden-themed idiocy. Well, sort of..!

This week, Bledd and Sam recount their pilgrimage down to That London to catch the lads play one hell of a homecoming show. They also take a little bit of a detour to comment on another homecoming show, Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning and take a moment to discuss Ozzy's legacy following his recent passing. 

...what's that? You're still waiting for A Matter of Life and Death? Look, it's coming. We promise. But first this. And then More Balls to Picasso. Why? Because it's our show and we can make all the terrible decisions we want.

(Please keep listening to our nonsense)
