If The Parchment is a banger, it is definitely one with an excessive amount of fat in it…

Really not feeling the love for The Parchment, I feel its the most boring song they've ever done TBH.

The whole album is one big banger. Smooth listen all the way through and it just works precisely.

As you scream into the web of silence...
A lot of times I use “banger” almost like “head-banger”; aka “Does this song make me want to headbang? Then it’s a banger!”
But it depends on the song. Sometimes a song can be good without being a banger, to me. Like “Don’t Stop Believin’”. That one’s more of what I like to call a “fire hazard”.
Over time you learn that to identify a banger you just gotta feel it and then you’ll know.

I absolutely love The Parchment.
In a tempest never shaken
Edge of doom is not mistaken
Countenance is not a sin
Gallant king, we bow to him
Fierce as wolf with a leopard skin
Dark and bitter, deep within
Invader punished with his life
Vanquished in the morning
Sea of blood in light divine
Unholy reverence enjoyed
Intoxicated with their hell
Man immortal sickness dwell
Savage beasts troops engage
Assembled here to butcher blades
Smoke has darkened in the air
Smell of death and deep despair....
That's just magical!

You say this and yet in the same post you claim that Don't Stop Believin' is anything but an absolute banger?

The way he sings “….to butcher blades” always gets me. It’s so damn good.

It’s definitely up there for me. If not for Book of Souls and Starblind it’d probably be outright my favorite reunion track.The Parchment...My absolute favourite on Senjutsu. Can I go further? My favourite of the reunion era!

@Diesel 11 : thanks for your extensive song by song reviews! They were a nice read for sure!

I wouldn't go as far as that (they did a lot of shit during the 90s), but the song is not that special if you ask me. It is redeemed by the stellar guitar solos though.

The Parchment fucking slaps! (Did I say that right?)
chaosapiant
Ancient Marinade
This is correct. It can also be said to be “lit” which I’m led to believe means “cool.”

You, sir, have a good taste in music. These exact three songs, along with The Legacy, are what I'd consider my absolute favorite reunion era songs.
chaosapiant
Ancient Marinade
Nice! Legacy is my favorite song on AMOLAD. Some days it's Lord of Light, but those two are fantastic.

It doesn´t have to click, it have to slap.

I really dont get it. I think its a solid Maiden album, but The Parchement, its sooooo boring. Maybe one day it might click with me but at the minute its so unforgettable.
