I was 13 and a classmate gave me the Cassette Tape for Fear of the Dark back in 94. I bought Number of the beast, Somewhere in time and Seventh Son after that
What you are experiencing with the Parchment is my experience with Death of the Celts. Sometimes a particular song just doesn't click and there is not much that can be done about it.
It is to be expected I suppose that the same song will evoke many different reaction. After listening to the album in the proper order for many days now, I have decided to change things up. Made a group of 4 songs for imaginary Side A and Side B. Quite liking this particular order for now.
I cannot stop listening to this album. There are so many great songs that it is simply impossible to put down. I think i have cycled through Senjutsu and The Parchment the most, followed by Stratego and Hell on Earth.
Do we have sense on how the album is doing commercially in comparison with TBOS?

This is really amazing. There is truly a sound and an album for everybody. Did you like Angel and the gambler, Educated Fool or Don't look to the eyes of a stranger?
The diversity of opinion here regarding maiden albums never ceases to amaze me. No wonder Maiden has such a global fanbase. Just when you think oh this song sounds weak, someone else rates it 10/10
