Thanks, I always thought vinyl was fine into the early 20-minute range, mostly because I remember Martin Birch implying there were issues with Powerslave and LAD have 25 minutes+ per side.
Good description of vinyl lengths here:

The title track of TFF album is also written by Smith/Harris.

What? You didn't like it? I can't recall any message of you saying you disliked the new single...
Well I was expecting another double album, but my logic getting there was more collaboration, not Harris unleashing an onslaught of epics. To have written so much material, I hope (and I think reasonably expect) that there’s quite a bit of variety there. Bruce’s comments about there being a couple of different songs and Harris’ comments about some of them being quite difficult excite me. One thing I missed from TBOS was the instrumental work was fairly straightforward compared to TFF.
The Senjutsu World Tour, same as the last few tours.

I'm not in the least. One of my fav things about Maiden is the Harris penned epics. And we get three this time. I'm stoked!

The Metal Up Your Ass tour, with Samurai Eddie thrusting his sword up out of the toilet. Metallica sues, and all PR is good PR, so everyone wins.
It's about the ego of guitarists who play the Fender Strat, no wonder it's a Gers song!
It’s also interesting that they’ve decided to match what they were doing on TBOS in so many ways. Same studio, same recording approach, even the same cover artist. I am surprised they went for the simple Eddie on black cover scheme again. That was such a unique move on TBOS. I hope there’s a nice gatefold piece like TBOS had.
With all that said, the writing credits are pretty surprising. Very little Dickinson input, which I was not expecting at all. Even Smith and Gers seem a little less present. And of course no Murray. I wonder what the story is. Steve must have come in with a lot of material from the beginning.

Still sounds cool though, probably the opening to the song Shenjutsu

I was expecting a shorter album than TBOS, but not a double album again.
So many epics from Steve is quite interesting and curious.... very difficult and complex songs - let's hope for the best.
