My buddies and I have conversations about who's going to succeed the OG classic metal singers. Ozzy's gone, Dio's gone, the others are getting up there. IMO Sarabeth Linden is on the short list, as well as Brooks from Crypt Sermon. Hope for the future! And that's the feel of this record, not some soggy, "authentically lo-fi" rehash, but a rocket-powered time machine to an era when music had mystery and power. "The Hammer" is as good as anything Maiden has written in the past 15 years.
Favorite track: Iron Clad.
