The Final Frontier is the album that brings Iron Maiden into their fourth decade of releasing albums. The time between releases is getting longer and longer but much like Brave New World before it The Final Frontier is a very impressive start for the new decade.

While I still enjoyed the prior album A Matter of Life and Death I did think it was the weakest of the previous three albums. The Final Frontier marks a step back up for me. While not as good as Brave New World I find more individual songs memorable on this one and it still has the progressive influences and longer songs that has become an Iron Maiden trademark by this point. The second half of the album is dominated by such songs. I think I would prefer the shorter and longer ones mixed up a bit more for balance though. But this is exactly the sort of album that I expect and want to hear from Iron Maiden at this point. The best songs for me are El Dorado, Mother of Mercy and Where the Wild Wind Blows.
