At 76 minutes and 35 seconds, it is the band's longest to date and their first since A Matter of Life and Death in 2006 (the longest gap to date between two consecutive Iron Maiden studio releases). Melvyn Grant, a long-time contributor to the band's artwork, created the cover art.\nThe album received largely favourable reviews from critics and peaked at No. 1 in 28 countries. This included the United Kingdom, where it became the band's fourth release to top the UK Albums Chart following 1982's The Number of the Beast, 1988's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and 1992's Fear of the Dark. On top of this, The Final Frontier also charted at No. 4 in the Unites States, marking their highest placement on the Billboard 200, in addition to gaining the band their first Grammy award in the Best Metal Performance category for the song \"El Dorado\", released as a free download on 8 June 2010.\nEMI released the album in most of the world, while in the United States and Canada it was released jointly by Universal Music Enterprises and Sony Music Entertainment - the successor to the Sanctuary Records/Columbia Records joint venture that had previously controlled the Iron Maiden catalogue in North America.","strDescriptionDE":"The Final Frontier (engl. für: „Die letzte Grenze”) ist das 15. Studioalbum der britischen Heavy-Metal-Band Iron Maiden. Es erschien am 13. August 2010 in Europa sowie am 17. August 2010 in Nordamerika. Produzent des Albums war erneut Kevin Shirley, Co-Produzent war Steve Harris. Die Liedtexte behandeln überwiegend Themen aus der Science Fiction. Die durchschnittliche Laufzeit der Stücke ist mit fast acht Minuten die bisher längste in der Bandgeschichte. Das Artwork des Covers stammt von Melvyn Grant, welcher auch schon für das Artwork von Fear of the Dark, Virtual XI und Death on the Road verantwortlich war.\nNach Beendigung der Tourneeaktivitäten 2009 zogen sich die Bandmitglieder zurück, um separat an Ideen für neue Lieder zu arbeiten. Im November und Dezember 2009 fanden sich die Musiker zu einer dreiwöchigen Songwriting-Session in Paris zusammen, während der größte Teil des neuen Materials entstand. Nach dem Jahreswechsel 2009/2010 begab sich die Band in die Compass Point Studios auf den Bahamas, um zunächst die Songs einzustudieren und dann mit den Aufnahmen zu beginnen. Während dieser Zeit entstanden weitere Lieder, u. a. The Alchemist sowie ein Großteil der Liedtexte. Nach rund zwei Wochen waren die Basisspuren aller Instrumente und des Gesangs aufgenommen. Nachdem die Gitarrenspuren overdubbt waren, begann der Endmix im Studio The Cave in Los Angeles. Dort nahm Bruce Dickinson auch die letzten Gesangspassagen auf, weil er die Texte auf den Bahamas zum Teil noch nicht fertig geschrieben hatte. Insgesamt war Iron Maiden mit den Arbeiten an dem Album einen Monat früher fertig als geplant.","strDescriptionFR":"The Final Frontier est le quinzième album studio du groupe de heavy metal britannique Iron Maiden.

Expectations are always huge even if they’re not always met. But then there are almost as many visions of a perfect Iron Maiden album as there are Maiden fans, and the band have never, ever sought to please anyone other than themselves. It’s the secret of their success, and their 15th studio album offers a wild ride for those willing to get on board.\nMaiden don’t really do playing it safe. The voices of critics who seem to want to consign the band to an endless 1980s time loop are always disproportionately loud and ignore the fact that Maiden have never played the nostalgia game. Beginning with frontman Bruce Dickinson’s return to the band in 1999, Maiden have embarked on the most successful phase of their career whilst fully indulging their progressive tendencies and eschewing compact, catchy numbers like Run to the Hills and The Trooper; the sort of material the 80s trolls obsess over. Maiden have never been bigger and it’s all been on their own terms. In that light, this album is exactly the sort of full-on prog-a-thon they were always going to write. Why would they even dream of doing anything else?\nThe Final Frontier is the longest album of a long career but there’s barely a minute wasted. There are more ideas here than many bands manage in their entire career, but in inimitable Maiden style, it’s woven together beautifully. Released in advance of the album, the single El Dorado is misleading. It’s a solid if unspectacular effort, a comfortable mid-album track rather than a spanking showpiece. But even the band’s best albums contain small amounts of filler and this forgettable effort is forgivable. It’s certainly not typical of the album as a whole. Satellite 15... The Final Frontier opens proceedings with no small amount of melodrama, setting the scene for a series of truly gargantuan epics.\nThe mid-paced stomp Mother of Mercy, lighter-waving ballad Coming Home and up-tempo headbanger The Alchemist are all classic Maiden and make for an exciting prelude. The meat of the matter, however, is found in the sheer immensity of the second half. Loaded with changes in tempo and tone, restlessly twisting and turning, from Isle of Avalon to When the Wild Wind Blows, this is Iron Maiden truly living their purpose. No compromises, just complexities and challenges and more moments of brilliance than perhaps even they thought they still had left in them. A remarkable achievement.","strMood":"Energetic","strTheme":null,"strSpeed":"","strLocation":null,"strMusicBrainzID":"1ba23598-98e6-4fce-b26f-3cf076c14a12","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"ca891d65-d9b0-4258-89f7-e6ba29d83767","strAllMusicID":"mw0002011126","strBBCReviewID":"hx8r","strRateYourMusicID":"the_final_frontier","strDiscogsID":"267863","strWikidataID":"Q734951","strWikipediaID":"The_Final_Frontier","strGeniusID":null,"strLyricWikiID":null,"strMusicMozID":null,"strItunesID":null,"strAmazonID":null,"strUPCID":"5099990795152","strSpotifyID":"3CE0SB7URLI49lxJcykXUi","strLocked":"unlocked","intChecked":"0"}]}
