DoD Theme

Hi everybody!

IM always made theme albums:
- Powerslave: the Egypt
- Somewhere in time: the time
- SSOASS: the seven and the prophecies
- FOTD: the fear and the introspective search

But in DoD ?

I have DoD only from a few days and
I'm still searching for the thread
of the album.

Greetings

Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind weren't themed.

Um... no. What do any of the songs (except the title track) have to do with Egypt?

Ah they're first kinda concept album - still not really concept
though... couple that don't fit a "time" concept without a stretch.

Now this WAS a concept album, designed and written as one (I believe
with great plans for it as well - shame - would make a great movie)

You skipped No Prayer For The Dying

I think you're kinda stretching here for a theme...

And of course you omitted:

The X Factor
Virtual XI
Brave New World

Anyway - my point is that Maiden has really only done one concept
album (ok, you can say maybe 3 if you want to include the time aspect
of SIT or the fear aspect of FOTD) out of thir**** studio albums.

Dance of death is about Bruces days as a polka instructor in Birmingham. One
evening he and a few of his students got way too much to drink and they
smashed an accordian. Since then they have kept this a secret but now was
the time to tell the story to the world.........

I think PoM has a war/ conflict theme, by and large.

yeah but POM is not a concept album!

a concept album has songs that are related to each other....they form
a story.....with a variety of themes like love, hate, war, loss etc.
say like pink floyd's THE WALL or savatage's STREETS.

a theme album just has songs with no relation to each other than
dealing with ONE particular aspect .ie. war, love, hate etc.

Well if you read the original post he used the term "theme" and not
"concept." It was Siana that started talking about concept albums.
