Each Maiden album with one word

[Vaenyr]

I like the song i listen to it often but they should open with stratego.

Oooh, you meant Senjutsu. Never mind, I misread your comment. I thought you meant Futureal was a bad opener, my bad.

In my opinion Senjutsu has cool parts (the chorus is really nice and different for Maiden standards), but is a bit too long without any interesting (tempo) changes and doesn't work well as an opener.

 

[Perun]

Senjutsu as an opener didn't work at all. Final Frontier was weird too, never liked it. Wildest Dreams was alright, I guess.

I think TFF in and of itself was a good opener, the problem was the 4-minute Satellite 15 intro. I personally think a PA intro shouldn't be longer than a minute. Enough time to get the crowd boiling without boring them.

I think we've all agreed over the past that Satellite 15 as released was a mistake. Steve hearing something unfinished, loving it, and throwing it on the album (or the album cover) is classic Steve.
