[183] won't you come into my room? I wanna show you all my wares
Oooooog. I am suffering from a pretty severe case of bad popcorn belly, but it was a nice evening out, so I declare it to be worth the suffering. Took a lot out of mom, so I will endeavour to make sure she just stays home and watches TV all day tomorrow in lieu of doing stuff on Sunday, since she's the only person in the household with a normal Monday to Friday schedule now.
On the plus side, I managed to both get my laundry done AND watch a movie the other night, hashtag productivity hashtag crushing it
Wikipedia Sez: Iron Maiden is the debut studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 14 April 1980 by EMI Records in the UK and Harvest and Capitol Records in the US. The North American version included the song "Sanctuary", released in the UK as a non-album single. In 1998, along with the rest of the band's pre-1995 releases, Iron Maiden was remastered with "Sanctuary" added in all territories. However, 2014 vinyl reissues, 2015 digital releases and 2018 CD reissues use the original track listing across the globe. It is the band's only album to feature guitarist Dennis Stratton.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: British Metal, Heavy Metal, New Wave of British Heavy Metal
Prior Familiarity: Low.
What I Did While Listening: Did some boring Marvel: Future Fight grinding.
Verdict: Not bad! I actually found myself wishing for even more extended instrumental solos, weirdly; I found all of the jug jugga jug juggas and meedly meedly meedlies to be very compelling, and just found the vocals to be distracting most of the time? The exception being the ballad-y bits, there's a sweetness to Di'Anno's voice on those tracks that I found very pleasant. Classic metal is actually pretty fun stuff, I gotta say.
Favourite Song: Phantom of the Opera. Just seven minutes of the most badass boss battle music around.
I think I shall play some vidya games now.
