The Final Frontier gets better with every listen

With the first run through only two tracks stuck: The Alchemist and Starblind.

By the third listen, Coming Home and The Talisman had become accessible.

Now (fifth? sixth?) I am loving The Man Who Would Be King and When the Wild Wind Blows.

Just starting a new listen. I now get El Dorado and Mother of Mercy.

I always have this trouble with a new Maiden album. The tracks have to gradually open themselves up.

Prog metal ain't easy.
