Maiden will definitely not be nabbing the number one spot in the U.S.

Looks like you were right after all, just a few days out!Yeah. I guess bogus news. Really had me fooled with all the swedish director crap.

I mean, I'm a grown ass man who prefers metal 90% of the time, but there ain't nothing on Senjutsu as catchy as "good 4 u"

A little unfair to Maiden but I did listen to the song and I'll concede it's not half bad.

Don't get me wrong, I like the new album quite a bit. But I wouldn't describe much of it as "catchy".
Recycling a great Paramore chorus into a pop song for tweens, though? Hook-central.

You're saying you haven't introduced the neighbours to The Darkest Hour by singing whilst walking the dog?

HAH! First, get a dog. Second, learn to sing like Bruce. Third, accomplish this task!

Bullshit stats if you ask me. 3 12y.olds playing a stream on repeat on cellphone out loud in the middle of afternoon's play time does not make it a 'unit sold'.

Show them what a serenade of glory really is!
It probably reminds you of The Book of Thel
Gee, thanks, I feel seen.

Days of Future Past ... again, the chorus reminds me of another track, I have it on the tip of my tongue... and I fail, but maybe I'll find it identified somewhere here in the comments and reactions. However, let me stress I really love the verse, the vocal melody and ... well, inflection there, and the cooldown before the third minute is a nice touch.
Overall, probably a throwaway track, all things considered, it's not gonna be anyone's favourite, but where TBOS had River, which I loved and Death or Glory, which I hated, this album already has a short track that I'm absolutely crazy about (Stratego) and a nice, good one. So the score's just better, you know?

You're right as far as the melody's concerned, but specially because the backing rhythm I actually think I had Soul Intruders in mind.
