5.0 out of 5 stars A Metal Masterpiece, 23 Jul 2008
By Stephen Anderson "Honest Joe" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this album with a slight worry that it would be inferior to the previous albums since this is the first created with Blaze's new line up of musicians.

My fears proved to be unfounded and this is probably Blazes best work to date. An absolutely fantastic bit of work with not a single weak track in the whole album. As usual with a Blaze album, the guy has put a lot of his soul into the songs and there is some seriously good atmosphere from them.

Blaze Bayley really needs a bit more recognition from the metal community as a whole.

Well done on brilliant album sir. I wish you well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece of Heavy Metal Music., 14 Jul 2008
By Mr. S. M. King "ash_chainsaw" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Blaze Bayley has excelled yet again. The Man Who Would Not Die is the best Heavy Metal album to come out in 2008 so far. It's difficult to fully describe the content in this magnificent album because so much is going on within each track. You simply have to listen to it all the way through.

The Man Who Would Not Die is simply about life and somewhat autobiographical of Blaze Bayley's life. Songs such as 'Blackmailer' details the war between himself and the record label and their pathetic attempt at black-mailing him.* A Crack in the System has an evil, manipulating intro that shreds into a tough as hell riff that sends shivers down your spine, possibly proving this is the best line-up in the Blaze Bayley band, as the quality of the musicianship from all players is tremendous and shows through. It's as if they set themselves extremely high goals to reach and went beyond.

Robot is a fantastic song about individualism and showing that you are real and not conforming to anyone else's ideals. The moment when Blaze screams 'I Am!' all hell simply breaks loose. The rest of the songs on the album all compliment each other, and most importantly, there is no filler. This is an energised, unrelenting showcase of one of the best talents in heavy metal and I recommend this album to anybody who appreciates music with more thought and intelligence, unlike the commercial sewers that infest the airwaves.

Rock on Blaze! A Masterpiece.

*P.S. Why on earth would a record label try to kill its artists? Surely, they would milk the artist to get their grubby hands on all the incoming cash and not destroy their prized 'cash cow.' The industry is wholly messed up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back with a vengeance, 13 Jul 2008
By Ian Lloyd (South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well I can't say that Blaze has 'finally emerged from the shadow of Maiden' ; he easily achieved that with debut Silicon Messiah - a brilliant contemporary metal album.And over the course of subsequent 10th Dimension , Live As It Gets and Blood & Belief , Blaze and band continued to produce and develop a truly unique metal style deserving of far more recognition.So despite a number of set backs and upheavals it's great to see the man back , and back in brilliant form.Acknowledging his Maiden heritage and reporting in the sleeve notes that the song writing was approached in the same way as X Factor and Virtual X1 , this album is probably Blaze's most Maidenesque to date.But by that I don't mean the stoggy bloated efforts of A Matter Of Life And Death rather something far more immediate ,fresh and exciting.Someone needs to explain to messrs Harris and Co that extending every song to breaking point with the chorus repeated ad nauseum does not an 'epic' make ; for that you need a much more dynamic structure with 'light and shade'. Simply compare Blaze's 'Smile Back at Death' or 'Samurai' with Maiden's 'For the Greater Good of God' or 'Brighter than a 1000 Suns' and you'll see what I mean ; the Blaze efforts are shorter , punchier and contain a wealth of ideas in true progressive metal fashion.Also the playing is more emotional and heartfelt anchored to an awesome drum sound - unlike mr McBrain who sounds (since the reunion) like he's playing an array of cardboard boxes.
Highlights of The Man Who Would Not Die are hard to choose ; the opening trio will blow you away. The pace 'slows' slightly for the start of While You Were Gone but builds wonderfully into a fast paced gallop complete with guitar harmony section , even better than the Maiden of old ! Personal favourite is 'At the End of the Day' , slow and brooding , showing Blaze's fantastic powerful voice at it's best.'Waiting for my Life to Begin' and final offering , 'Serpent Hearted Man' perhaps best define Blaze ; an intense 'hard' metal that would give even the likes of Chimaira a run for their money , but firmly rooted to a more British sound and tradition in the Priest, Maiden , Sabbath mould. Welcome back.

Blinding from start to finish! A metal classic - surely enough to get Bayley out of Maiden's long shadow and up to the level that he belongs at. A candidate for album of the year.
