About this album

EMI UK (2000) Released: 30 May 2000 10 tracks (67:20)
Brave New World is the twelfth studio album by Iron Maiden released on 30 May 2000. It marked the return of longtime lead singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith to the band. It was also the band’s first studio recording with three guitar players, as Janick Gers stayed with the band after Smith’s return.

The album art and title song are references to the novel of the same name written by Aldous Huxley. The upper half of the album art was done by Derek Riggs, and is the last new artwork done by Riggs to be used on an Iron Maiden release.

The songs “The Wicker Man” and “Out of the Silent Planet” were both released as singles. “The Wicker Man” was released in the U.S as a promo single with extra vocals in the chorus.

“The Nomad”, “Dream of Mirrors”, and “The Mercenary” were originally written for Virtual XI, according to Adrian Smith in an interview. He said there was a fourth song, but he didn’t know which one it was and that Steve Harris did not remember either. Former singer Blaze Bayley also co-wrote “Dream Of Mirrors”, but wasn’t credited.

    This was my first Maiden album and the very first album I ever bought with my own money.. Still easily my favorite. Powerslave is probably second.

    Their best record post-Seventh Son and, for my money, superior to anything they've put out since [4] WORD. This album is so magical

    Great album, shitty dynamic range. Too much goddamn loudness. I can't hear any details. I expect nothing less from that dillhole Kevin Shirley. God what a douchefuck.

    "only bad thing about this album is the repetitive chorus's, otherwise its great " <- I second this. Also e.g. 4:07 title track is brutally overdriven. There really is some clipping going that isn't neat.

    A comeback album if there ever was one. [In my opinion] no subsequent Maiden album has topped this one, which is a shame...
