Do all the versions have the signed photo or just the Walmart version? If the latter, it should really be a separate listing... -
Bruce returns to solo stuff after almost two decades
Released in 2024, THE MANDRAKE PROJECT is Bruce Dickinson’s seventh solo album after 19 long years since the previous one. It’s nice ‘n’ diverse, starting out on the right foot with the disk’s best song, the metallic and austere “Afterglow of Ragnarok.” The rockin’ second track shows that Bruce wasn’t interested in doing an album of soundalike ditties.
Other favorites include “Resurrection Man,” which has a Spaghetti Western vibe mixed with some welcome doom; meanwhile “Eternity Has Failed” is a new version of "If Eternity Should Fail" from Maiden’s THE BOOK OF SOULS (2015) with different music and slightly changed lyrics.
The album closes with two other favorites: “Shadow Of the Gods,” which starts as an epic ballad, but eventually morphs into a drivin’ tune with attitude; and "Sonata (Immortal Beloved)" is a moody acoustic epic reminiscent of Queensryche mixed with a little Pink Floyd.
While my favorite albums by Bruce are THE CHEMICAL WEDDING (1998), BALLS TO PICASSO (1994) and ACCIDENT OF BIRTH (1997), this is a well-done addition to his discography.
The ten tracks clock-in at almost 59 minutes.
GRADE: B

In my copy, it is extremely difficult to remove the 2 albums from their booklets, I believe due to static acquired between the booklet and the physical media. In a little while I'm going to tear up the inserts because of this. -

There is a lot of retailers in Europe and the only one in the US - Walmart. Walmart edition has a photo signed by Bruce and its DIFFERENT than the Sweden Rock Magazine copies. These editions doesnt have to be merged. Please revert. -

Vinyl #1 horrible bowl-warped. Vinyl production since Covid still sucks. It is a pity because the music is great.
