Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

F* them.

LOL yeah I deleted that post. Can't get all political but I agree.

 

[giratina]

True

Basically the same thing

 

[chaosapiant]

Anyone know why they have to slip this across 3 records and 6 sides of vinyl? It could easily be a double album with sides lasting 19:32, 20:33, 17:40 and 23:58

Don't they realize getting up to flip the vinyl is hard on the old-timer's knees?

Because they're old-timers and to them, album length means vinyl length, not CD length.

 

[Kalata]

but the cover is sure one of their best

Agree. Hope the booklet will contain more artworks with this Samurai Eddie - like Wilkinson did for TBOS album.

Sound quality. Helloween released a 3 LP version as well as a 2 LP version for presumably that reason.

I'm reasonably sure Darkest Hour will be about the most heroic victory I can think of.

The time Rodimus Prime opened the Matrix of Leadership to defeat Unicron. What did he say? "Now...light our Darkest Hour"...

You’ve got the touch, Loosey.

 

[Josh]

OMG that vinyl set is bad assery all day long. Shut up and take my money.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Days of Future Passed could either be the albums only short rocker or some sort of interlude into The Time Machine. Perhaps with an orchestra to really pay homage to the album by The Moody Blues by the same name. I could definitely see Dickinson do something prog/orchestral like that.

I usually purchase from iTunes but this set makes me want to buy the CDs.
Along with a CD player

 

[Oca]

I think the “heaven or hell” text on the flyer refers to 3 Harris epics to conclude the album. Could be heaven, could be hell

 

[Kalata]

I wonder what 'Man or Beast', 'Heaven or Hell' and 'Live Forever' were referring to?

Only for the concept of TWOTW video, I think.

 

[Arrakis]

I wonder when will the first fake "leaks" appear on youtube good exposure to lesser-known bands though

 

[LooseCannon]

Ah yes, those two words. I know them very well. For the other members of the forum, would you mind detailing what they are referring to?

The gusoku is the late-era Japanese cuirass Samurai Eddie is wearing; the kabuto is his helmet.

 

[Kalata]

Cover is excellent, 2nd brilliant cover in a row

Yep. This Samurai Eddie will look brutally good live on stage - both walk-on and big Eddie.

And if the booklet contains more artworks with him... this means more material for the backdrops.

The optimum running time for vinyl I think is somewhere in the region of 17 mins per side of a 12 inch, so anything longer than that means quality is sacrificed.

 

[johnglen]

Even though I didn’t like the single I am hyped beyond belief, as usual, nothing hypes me like a new Maiden album does.

 

[Kalata]

I wonder if we will get another single (in August)... maybe ''Stratego'' (sounds kinda strange) or ''Days Of Future Past'', as the only short rockers in the album.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Samurai Jack: The Soundtrack as presented by Iron Maiden!

Bring it on!

A bit surprised by the title. The media build up made me think it would be related to Belshazzar's Feast and be something biblical. Was the video all there was to all of that?

It seems so. I guess they gave the reigns to Bruce on that one and let him have some fun promoting one of his songs on the album.

Remember Tommorrow part 2?

 

[Revelationer]

Can anyone tell what Japanese symbols on the album cover are meant to be?
