I still like Senjutsu about the same as I did a few months after its release, but the thing that continues to perplex me is my reaction to the title track. It's like a coin flip every time I hear it -- either it's a stately, romantic epic that makes perfect sense, or it's a bloated, ponderous misfire with some good elements. It must depend on my mood at the time, which is unusual for me, as my feelings on songs are typically pretty stable after they sink in.
I can agree with that.
Angel, barbarian warrior, sea creature, knight, wizard, spirit creature... dunno.
It wasn't directed at you specifically, I was just commenting on the overall criticism of the album. As with every Maiden since 2006 really. Sorry I wasn't clear enough.
It's a pretty epic title song imo, rivaled in this feature only by The Book Of Souls, Dance Of Death, 7th Son, Caught Somewhere In Time and Powerslave.

Like most of the album it didn’t take long to really dig the song, but I think I like it even more now that I’ve seen it live. I had trepidations about how it would work as a concert opener and honestly I was blown away by how powerful of an entrance it was. Those thunderous drums were epic as fuck. My only real criticism is that the stretch in the middle might run too long, but even then I don’t dislike it. Pretty epic first track IMO.

I recently purchased JLA/Avengers trade paperback for $100 on Amazon with art by the late George Perez (already costs twice that much to purchase again so good investment (.Bought old Spider-Man and Superman comics for 50 euro. Another Midlife crisis?
Yeah ... that didn't end well. I don't feel like going into details at the moment, maybe later on down the road. When I do, it will likely be in the chat though. I don't feel comfortable sharing everything publicly.
