Not really :) I just love the album!

All the songs on FOTD have something to offer . Whether we talk about complete songs being regarded as classics or specific music passages. I mean...even Weekend Warrior has a kick ass mid section!

I rhink that the solos combo by H and Davey lift the song. the main riff is quite cool too. I understand that the chorus is Steve's cause it is simply horrible and repetitive. It just kills the momentum.

Thank God this lineup would never perform again, and hopefully a song that we would never have to hear live ever again. Sad times!!!

They are just old and fat, so what? Let's just continue with our lives,ok? At least noone said something about them being short as well. Looking forward to what they choose to play from Senjutsu(which I still enjoy very much indeed)!

If you compare the guitar work to what they did since, it blows all the later albums out of the water(maybe not FOTD but IMO both FOTD and NPFTD have killer guitars)!

I freaking love this album. I do not feel like ranking the songs. They all sound alive and great to me!

That is easy. As @hennkris said, the great and non-repetitive choruses are a huge step in the right direction. Indeed Stratego and Days of Future Past are songs that were missing in the previous albums. I feel that most of the songs have real meat on their bones and the structures of Senjutsu...

Well, the best way to see what I mean is if you play any FOTD or any other album from the 80s next to a Senjutsu song!

I do not get this "it is better that they do not sound like the processed / polished modern era productions". You know there are other options too!!! Maybe sounding clear for a change? Maybe without on one moment the voice gets burried and then for some reason some of the guitars get muddy as...

Last three minutes of the song are just epic!

If you exclude the crying cat that tries to sing, quite a grooving track that leaves space for some improvisation. Senjutsu has gained my respect after all. I think that people do not give enough credit to the album despite its' obvious shortcomings. Especially Steve managed to provide 3 songs...

Well, I never got why people like the wickerman and it even got to be this iconic song that every rocker is measured against.....but IMO this is as close to a classic song Maiden can get to nowadays

I get what you mean, however I'd rather have a great song with an ok breakdown than a terrible song with a great breakdown ( I had to google cause I couldn't even remember the song's name...Wildest Dreams :down:)
