For someone who seems to hold up nearly every song in the Maiden catalogue as an indisputable classic, this strikes me as an interesting take. Which songs do you consider to be filler?

Nearly every song in the catalogue as a classic? Wow.

The songs are: ''Freak'' (sounds very different from the whole album) and ''Toltec 7 Arrival''.
Also, ''Welcome To The Pit'' is not a strong song imo.
 
Actually the better half plays it. Usually she plays lukewarm insignificant music of 2010s. I was working in my study and listened November Rain wow! came in the living room to enjoy it.

Insignificant fact: When I was born it was November raining.

I dunno that Toltec 7 is really filler, it's just a little spooky intro number that should've stayed attached to its parent song.

100% agree about Welcome to the Pit, it baffles me how Adrian wrote (one of) the best and worst songs off that album.

Maybe because the song is not in the traditional heavy metal style? Psycho Motel vibe.

The whole solo section is straight out of a song on Psycho Motel, I think Sins of Your Father

EDIT: it is the weakest song on the album and Freak is down there too but both aren't bad

Well, you do regularly wax poetic about how great song X from the Maiden catalog is, even when it's generally held in low esteem. I can cite examples if you don't believe me...

OK. @srfc was right, I read your comment as saying half (1/2) the album was filler, not 1 or 2 (1/2).

Such a great song. One of their very best. Amazing main riff, epic harmonized guitar interlude, deliciously sleazy lyrics, and pedal-to-the-metal all the way through, with one brief and totally appropriate cool-down.
