Todem Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Every listen get’s better and better. Just a consistent record from front to back. Definitely my fav since AMOLAD. And it may easily rank in my all time Maiden top 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 In the elimination polls, I'm glad the first 2 albums made it to the top 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Tried to listen to Senjutsu again today. It sucks more dick that Tory Lane on overtime. Utterly abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Tried to listen to Senjutsu again today. It sucks more dick that Tory Lane on overtime. Utterly abysmal. I really don't get how, to me it's the same high standard they have been at for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Tried to listen to Senjutsu again today. It sucks more dick that Tory Lane on overtime. Utterly abysmal. I wouldn't go that far with it. There is certainly something missing for me with this album. I've come to enjoy the last three songs but everything else just doesn't do anything for me. I still feel like the album has a lack of energy to it and nothing comes right out and punches you in the face like most of their albums do.

The Analog Cub Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Still holding up for me as an excellent album. Not my favorite but it is firmly in the top half of their discography for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I gave up trying with the album. It just ain't my thang. Funny though...the new Mastodon album is actually longer but flies by in comparison for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 slightly changing the subject: anyone going to try and go to the Bruce Dickinson book tour? You know I'm all over that, after having liked Springsteen on Broadway and the Dave Grohl one so much!! Anyone in the Fan Club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Iron Maiden, Biffy Clyro and Mastodon are pretty solid bets for top three albums of mine this year. I truly don't get the negative comments on this forum about the album lacking energy, I think Senjutsu is the bands best album of the millennium, and the more I listen too it the more I absolutely love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 OK, so more specifically: anyone in the fan club who wants to share the password for Bruce's book tour with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Laura, I wasn't thinking of seeing "An Evening With Bruce Dickinson - U.S. and Canada Tour". If I was going, then it would be the date in Vancouver on Mar. 14. I haven't belonged to, been in, and a part of Iron Maiden's fan club. Since there is a password, while in that for "An Evening With Bruce Dickinson - U.S. and Canada Tour" tickets on Bruce's tour dates, I don't know it.

It's not just on this forum. I've seen negative comments elsewhere. Boring and lack of energy is a common complaint. It's definitely the least energetic the band has been since Blaze was in the band.

You know I'm all over that, after having liked Springsteen on Broadway and the Dave Grohl one so much!! Anyone in the Fan Club? He's coming here but I'm not too sure about going to that. Mainly because it's in February and it's very cold around here that time of year. Also, who knows if there will be any new covid variants to worry about as well. Now, if was Bruce doing a solo tour where he actually played his stuff, I would be down for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I got mine. I saw a brief preview on the website and it looks like it's going to be a blast. I loved his book, and hearing him tell the stories will be great. It's chancy because it's in Feb, but if God forbid the weather is bad, I'll sell it. And it's a vaxxed event, though as we all know that's no guarantee either, but I have my ticket and that's all I know for now, and we'll see what Feb brings. I had tickets for Springsteen in, March I think it was? And we had a blizzard, and I'd bought the insurance and was able to get my money back because the storm was significant enough that a lot of people had made claims on it. I got insurance for this one too. $9 - totally worth it. But yes, Buffalo in Feb, no thanks!! Don't blame you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't hear it, I want to say I wish I did, but I'm glad I don't ������ Really? That nine and a half minute mid tempo dirge that starts the album doesn't lack a certain opening song punch for you. I can't believe when they tour for the album they're actually going to open the show with that. Maybe the drumming on the song will save it from being one of the worst show opening songs ever. Maybe... I think the opening song sounds exactly as it was intended to sound, a slow, moody, warm up that has a bit of a military feel. I think it's a terrific opener. The rest of the album ebbs and flows beautifully for me, and they avoid the modern Maiden flaw of repeating the chorus over and over again for the most part. I just don't hear this album as lacking energy, and I don't hear the slower numbers as lacking energy, in fact they sound purposefully restrained, adding contrast to the bolder, more flamboyant songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, thanks, I did NOT try that one, I tried a bunch of others including a few I found online. And then I finally found another one, "EVENING" and that worked! Looking forward to it, the book was very well written and his life is really quite interesting, so I'm sure that this is going to be fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Segue on this. The opening drum riff that kicks off the whole album is a fresh idea and a powerful one, plus it immediately shows off the excellent percussion production on this album. Nicko has finally gotten the brute force impact out of his kit that Clive had (both are great, but I did initially miss Clive's power when I listened to Piece Of Mind after Number Of The Beast). It's a very easy album to put on and just get lost in, one of those ones where I don't really always need to know where each song starts and stops to enjoy it (rare for me). Great metal mood music at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
