Rick N. Backer Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I still haven’t waded in to the new album. Three strides in & you'll be neck deep in cowsh1t. :lol: I'm actually listening to it right now. It's a little dreary here today, and I'm a little under the weather, so I thought I would check it out. I remember a review of Piece of Mind from maybe Kerrang where it talked about the problem with Maiden (even then it was being discussed) could be found in Where Eagles Dare, and its repetitiveness. There's a little of that vibe here, but I'm only on Lost in a Lost World, not to be confused with Stranger in a Strange Land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I like it. Would it be the first Maiden album I grab if I haven’t listened to them in a while? Probably not. But I feel like I like the last 2 more than most of the post 7th Son stuff. And for the record, when I got into them Killers was their new album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 After listening to Senjutsu and Book of Souls, I turned to the debut and Killers, also back to back. I'll still take the first 2 albums over anything after Powerslave, and Beast, Piece and Powerslave aren't necessarily better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere In Time is my favourite Maiden album! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) After listening to Senjutsu and Book of Souls, I turned to the debut and Killers, also back to back. I'll still take the first 2 albums over anything after Powerslave, and Beast, Piece and Powerslave aren't necessarily better. When I first started listening to Maiden a few years ago, I thought Piece sounded a little wimpy next to Beast and I blamed in on changing the drummer. I still think Clive had a more powerful style than Nicko. It's sorta like when Bill Bruford left Yes and Alan White replaced him. I love Alan, and he's exceptionally talented and does everything justice and is incredible on his own... but they let go of something with Bill that they never got back.

The drummer in my high school garage band absolutely LOVED Burr. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) I haven't listened to "Senjutsu", yet. With it being released for only a week, and a half, I haven't purchased it, but I will be, and after I do, I'll listen to it. If the last song "Hell On Earth" does sound like early, and classic "Queensryche", then I'm looking forward to Iron Maiden's new studio recently released "Senjutsu" even more.

Rick N. Backer Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Listening to Book of Souls, Live Chapter today. They obviously knew they had a winner with that one, looking at all the new songs they put on it. I wonder if it will be the same for Senjutsu.

Seeing how the majority of fans seem to have fallen hard for this album, I think they will!

Hopefully they learned their lesson from when they did all of AMOLAD and format the set better. There's nothing wrong with wanting to play the whole new album live. They just need to make sure they're throwing in some old stuff every three or four songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden don't strike me as a band sitting around "learning lessons" from their decisions. And I mean that in a complimentary way. Their show, their setlist, their rules. A person can always decide not to go if it's a deal killer. I don't believe their concert attendance suffered much at all for it either. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) Since I've put together a Judas Priest setlist, which includes songs from their latest c.d., and album called "Invincible Shield", I would attempt my own twenty-twenty-five song one for Iron Maiden, which includes songs from their latest c.d., and album called "Senjutsu" except for "the X Factor", and "Virtual XI". For a complete of it like the Judas Priest one, I included two more, extra encores. Satellite 15... the Final Frontier Senjutsu No Prayer For the Dying Revelations Killers Brave New World Dance of Death the Book of Souls Powerslave For the Greater Good of God the Prisoner the Trooper Flight of Icarus 22 Acacia Avenue Hell On Earth Fear of the Dark Phantom of the Opera Iron Maiden Seventh Son of A Seventh Son Alexander the Great Rime of the Ancient Mariner the Number of the Beast Run to the Hills Edited 15 hours ago by Derek19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
