Senjutsu has a couple of issues that stopping it topping AMOLAD for me, agree with it being more fun but the older album has a more thematically dark aura that makes it more emotionally heavy listen but ultimately a better record overall, the quality between both albums is only fractional to me...

Now this should have been the single, it would have been the best since The Wicker Man. A really fun hard rock song, not much to be said about this one, really simple, really good. would love an album full of these. Great work from H on this one and cannot listen to without a moving my head and...

Really good song, love the lyrics, love the whole rhythm but the Solos are awesome on this one as they really fit with the whole theme of the song itself, they give of a feeling of being sucked through a wormhole and travelling space & time. The Time Machine gives off a very BNW/DOD era vibe and...

First of all; WOW! Incredible that Steve Harris could still write a 10+ minute song of this quality, maybe song of the album for me now, and my favourite Harris song since Fear of the Dark. Yes, we hear alot of To Tame a Land and Powerslave in this one but it really don't seem like a...

This is now my favourite Maiden ballad (H should write more of them), not too impressed with the lyrics but the musical performance of the whole band is outstanding on this one. Hope this gets it due in the live act can see it being a very emotional setpiece to the show. Usually not been a fan...

Can't get into this one (yet). The only dud on this album for me and certainly the weakest on the album, can't really see why people are comparing this with the magnificent The Clansman other than the subject manner, starts like every other Harris epic and continues that way until the end but...

Dislike the guitar line under Bruce's vocal's and the synth aren't great, but really nice to hear that clasic Maiden gallop. Much like TWOTW this is a typical Maiden rocker affair but the melodies and guitars at the end of this one really fantastic and i enjoy this one very much

A very staightforward song, pretty much exactly what you would expect from a Maiden rocker single. Better than the last couple of singles and the solos section of the song is what really lifts this one up for me, would put this on the lower end of the album and think maybe it would have been...

Can certainly see why people really dislike this one but i think it's a great track, the middle section display's some of the worst Harris-isms but the beginning and end sections are fantastic and have some suprising things i wouldn't have expected from a solo Steve penned song, love the...

Agree with it being the best opener since TWM, what a strange way to start a Maiden album, kind of a power move to start with what will obviously be a divisive track and influence how you're going to feel going into the rest of the album depending on how you react to this one

Took 5-6 listens for me to come around to this one, still have a few issues and think it's one of the weaker tracks. ultimatly a great way to close out the album and maybe a fine way to close out their discography

Listened to it once again, Hell on Earth finally clicked for me, still think the open couple of minutes and end could be trimmed but im thinking it is a good song now. still can't get around Death of the Celts though, it's fine but that's about it, run-of-the-mill Maiden for me and that's not...

I'm someone who thinks TFF & TBOS are decent albums but they have been consistently been in the lower half of my IM album rankings, I like Senjetsu a lot, A LOT! I rate this album very highly. I'm not saying we have similar tastes Maiden-wise but this album has had the biggest immediate impact...

IIRC it's because Sony would have had to pay licensing fees for every console sold and they didnt want to do that

Charlotte concept album?

on my 1st listen i thought the title track was suprise of the album because it's so different, but after a few listens i realised The Parchment is the real suprise, the whole album gives of a AoB/TCW crossed with DoD/AMOLAD vibe with a few 90's Maiden stuff thrown in but The Parchment seems like...

yeah PS4 100% cannot play CD's and you have to download a software update to play DVDs/Blu-rays

Seems I'm going to have to spend alot more time on DotC and HoE going by how everyone else seems to like them so much and by how much i adore the rest of the album but they seem like weak points to me, perhaps it's because The Parchment is sandwiched inbetween them and it being such a standout...

After 4 listens my rankings for the songs right now would be
