Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

Yeah, this album's going to kick ass.

 

[Michalis]

Bruce is low on the mix. The song is good.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

I liked this one alot and Bruce sounded great. Have to give this couple more spins..

 

[Arrakis]

This is a 5/5 track to me. A level above BOS and sorry, but AMOLAD which I liked lately is dusty compared to this.

There are Bruce solo vibes in it and despite the gallopping parts some un-Maidenish things too.

Listening to it on headphones, best sound in the last 20 years to me. BOS and AMOLAD sound lame compared to this.

Two out of two from Senjutsu so far! Really good songs I am happy!

Btw. I have been listening to Maiden since 1988 so I have the privilege to have an absolute opinion and no one else is right just saying! LOL

 

[Revelationer]

need a full lyrics! epicness reach to high level!

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

I think Stratego'd work well as a concert opener. Still want to hear the title track though.

 

[Iron Lurker]

Stratego is old news now, why hasn’t Maiden given us a new song yet? They suck!

 

[bearfan]

Listened to it on Spotify and YouTube .. like Writing on the Wall, sounds better on Spotify

 

[Maturin]

Best shorter song of the whole reunion era.

 

[LooseCannon]

Yeah, I don't actually think this is going to open the concert. I think this is a really good second track for it, though, similar to how we got Speed of Light after If Eternity Should Fail. It's shorter, lots of energy, it's go time.

 

[FTB]

No cover of stratego on YouTube yet. Maiden clearly has no fans left

No reaction videos yet, too. Clearly they are done!

 

[Josh]

I need to change my underwear.

 

[riff]

EDIT: oops!

 

[redandtheblack92]

Might have the album leak next week by this time.

 

[OutwardFeller]

This sounds most "classic maiden" since 1988. Btw: I love how the chorus has little bit in common with Don´t look to the Eyes of a Stranger.

Pretty sure Doug Helvering could have played along by his piano in church on first listen.

 

[Josh]

Bruce sounds fantastic.

 

[Jadukor]

God this song made me realize how much i missed the maiden gallop in the recent years!
The vocals sound amazing.Beautiful...absolutely beautiful bridge and chorus
