    What is the Rarest Song you've seen Iron Maiden perform live?

    That's got to be Journeyman for me, 47 times.

    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    I was born 1.5 years before The Soundhouse Tapes was recorded. Sadly, Maiden has never been the same after that record. ;)

    I am not of a younger generation and nope, they are not dumb. I got to know music with cassette tapes and vinyl. Nice memories and everything, but quite a miserable format and of very low quality to todays standards. I used to listen to Maiden with low quality tapes copied from a friend who...

    Not just it's dying, younger generations don't even know what that is. Only streaming exists for them. Everyone has to accept it, like vinyl, it will be a niche format for collectors. I bought it myself too (the book format) and most probably never play the CD anymore. I only use Spotify and YT...

    Senjutsu charts position

    OK, Drake has close to 60 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Maiden now has 7.7 million, and this increased significantly with the release of Senjutsu. I was surprised that the Maiden YT flag videos are still mostly below the 1 million mark or way lower, and the album songs are closer to 1...

    New single: Stratego

    I felt the same. It's a nice animation though, and I am happy that they want to appeal to a wider audience. Actually I would love to see the entire album animated this way! Halfway through the vid, I remember thinking, "now what's happening?", the pacing felt strange at times indeed.

    How do you know they have booked a studio?

    The Time Machine

    The noise at the very end reminds me of a Geiger-Muller counter, maybe the song was recorded in a harsh environment :)

    Days Of Future Past

    It's a constant replay with some other songs. 9/10 because I would like it to be longer actually! LOL It would have been nice with a longer solo section or instrumental in the middle. Otherwise, one of the best songs on the album. They should have written more like this one. Indeed, it is...

    Darkest Hour

    One can learn so much from Maiden songs! I didn't know Churchill called his depression as "black dog".

    Lost In A Lost World

    I rated it 6/10 first, but it's a grower and now it's a 7/10 for me. The intro is plain Pink Floyd which I like. What I needed to get used to is the typical and a little bit uninspired guitar theme reminiscent of the X Factor, but the vocal melody line lifts it and now I like it better. Overall...

    The Time Machine

    It has become one of my favorites on the album. Despite the similarity to the Talisman in the intro, it does not bother me, but what comes after that is just amazing. Again, kudos to do something different. The main theme before the typical Maiden "dancing" part is reminiscent of some 70s prog...

    The Parchment

    Out of the Harris epics, this is the only one that is almost perfect. A 9/10 for me, but it's a close 10. The most cinematic piece besides Senjutsu (the song) and has tons of very good prog rock influences, but despite its length it does not drag. Some of the parts could have been performed...

    Senjutsu

    A masterpiece to me, 10/10. What I especially like about this, is that it is different, they tried something different which is not forced. The drumming is sublime and the guitar theme is quite heavy in Maiden standards. They could have mixed it with an even more punch. It has a full Judas...

    Darkest Hour

    It's a 10/10 song and one of the best songs on the album as well as out of the entire Maiden catalog. It's not complex, has a straightforward structure but it has an enormous vibe and is full of emotions. Moreover, I am not sure if it has been mixed differently, but the guitar sound is...

    Please post reviews and thoughts on Senjutsu here

    I started to appreciate Lost World, a grower, but it still suffers from that damn Maiden curse of uninspired and plain guitar pattern that kills this song. Also, there is an extra part in there which should have been cut. The intro and the outro are nice and the vocal melody line saves the song...

    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    I visualized Halford singing it right from the beginning. The guitars could have been even more punchy, but to me this is a perfect song.

    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    When was the last time I played air guitar to a Maiden song? Just now to Darkest Hour! The best guitar sound for a long long time.

    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    What's that clicking sound at the very end of Time Machine? Like a Geiger-Muller counter LOL

    Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

    Senjutsu is one of the best songs Maiden has ever released, it's that good. No plodding, cinematic, emotional, amazing drums, and everything is in place. Major Priest vibe.
