My plan is to not get burnt out on stratego and twotw by limiting how many times i listen to it. Even though I only played the songs once in the last 24 hours, I have been playing the Stratego riff on the guitar all day long. Damn it! :facepalm:

That is why i said that it could be on par with BNW. Rainmaker i think came after album was released

What slightly worries me is that some of album reviews complained about the same thing in parts of the whole of the album. However, i believe the strength of the songs will overcome any issues with sound just like Stratego overcomes this as a song. We will probably have to tweak our sound...

The strength of the 1st two released songs already puts it on par with any of the best Book of Souls and TFF Songs. Keeping in mind Maiden would never release their best stuff prior to the release of the album, I think Senjutsu will easily surpass BOS and TFF and most likely be on par with BNW.

Wow your impression of the mix is the exact opposite of mine. I found WOTW mix to be so much better than Stratego. Stratego rhythm guitars sounded muddied and Bruce in the verse sounded burried in the mix

I had a dream that the upcoming triple album # 18 will feature short rockers of 7 mins and an epic 25 min final song by Steve called Death of the blutooth battery

That is high praise. Aces high is an absolute beast. The intro, the pace, the riffs, the solos and the soaring vocals. Everything is perfect in that song which is still going strong after 30 years. I like Stratego a lot but will have to see in six months time how i feel about it.

I am gonna try not to listen to both singles now so that the songs feel fresh when the album comes out. Two weeks of not listening ought to help.

Janick wrote the song. He could have had as many chord changes he would have liked. He plays the same bag of notes in every song recently. You could interchange his solo in Ghost of the Navigator, Paschendale, Dance of Death etc with the Stratego solo. The whole thing has a jamming over a rhythm...

I hope my super deluxe boxset comes with audio setting instruction for each song :ninja:

So while i was driving back, I played Stratego on spotify and once it ended it immediately went on to TWOTW on the playlist. What i found was that the overall volume just jumped up a notch. It makes me wonder what kind mastering did Kevin Shirley do? Did anyone else have the same experience...

The song has an urgency and energy to it. Also, the maiden gallop is back and it will surely be played even faster live

I think this album's variety will surprise and impress us all.

Wicker man still my favorite because that riff is just super fun to play as a guitarist and also the solo from adrian is next level on that track. Stratego is definitely up there and has to be one of the best choruses on any maiden track

I just have to say what a fucking voice Bruce. How do you do this at 63, beating cancer. Take a bow legend!

YT audio version is my favorite. I think this is in my top 3 post reunion singles along with Wicker man and Rainmaker.

Spot on, i don't complain about production either. I tried it on my sony headphones with multiple settings then tried it on wired regular headphones and then on speakers. I think the verse mix is the issue and the song really opens up afterwards in the bridge and chorus. I am probably the only...

If I were to nitpick after multiple listens-

Stratego is as if Ghost of the navigator, El Dorado and Powerslave had a 3 way and produced an offspring. This chorus is definitely stuck in my head till the album comes out. Thank you Iron Maiden \m/

God this song made me realize how much i missed the maiden gallop in the recent years! The vocals sound amazing.Beautiful...absolutely beautiful bridge and chorus
