Well well well… look what arrived in the mail just in time for METAL MONDAYS here at Progarchy… Iron Maiden’s latest, The Book of Souls, which is 2 CDs full of prog-length metal goodness!

If you’re going to buy the album, this is the package to get. It’s the deluxe edition that comes with the lyrics, pictures, and liner notes all nicely laid out in multiple pages in a hardcover book that is the size of a typical paperback book. It will look great on the bookshelf next to Samuel Taylor Coleridge!

If we can’t have gatefold vinyl on a regular basis anymore (those were the days!), then I say that this is the way to go. Buy a digital download, sure, but follow through by getting a physical copy that is the right size for your hands to peruse at glorious leisure… just like this. Nicely done, dudes!
