Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

[TheMercenary]

It seems that I'm the one here who didn't pre-order the album... I always prefer to buy CD's or vinyls in my usual record store the day when they are released, 'cause of the problems with the shippings. The new Maiden is no exception...

@LooseCannon Does that mean if the album leaks, we can’t give our thoughts and opinions on the songs?

But if you’d dreamt that you’d heard the album, you could certainly comment on what you’d imagined the album sounded like!

You could, but then we might remove the comment, especially if we're aware the album is illegally available

Just to be safe.

Eddie The Read? The Dewey Decimal Number Of The Beast? Prose In Mind? Somewhere In Type? Virtual E-Library? The Final Font Tier? The Soul Of Books? Pen-jutsu?

Thrillers, all.

You don't run these forums. If you did, you would understand why there is one to begin with.

I totally understand. I just dont like it. (I think i ll wait till 3/9 though to get the album)

I cancelled my Amazon pre-order when my local record shop told me they'd have it on the day. I'll be there when it opens, then go up the road to ASDA to get the limited edition beer and t-shirt.

I pre-ordered to ensure I’d get the limited vinyls and boxset, as well as make sure I don’t have to budget for it all later. And now that I’ve found that Target has a lenticular CD version, I’ll need that as well. I’ll have five copies of this damn album.

 

[LooseCannon]

I'll pick up quite a few cans of Trooper in preparation.

We’re just gonna have to keep our excitement inside our pants till the 3rd.

I swear I had a dream earlier in the week that the title track was playing and it was literally just layers upon layers of taiko drums. Like, imagine a classic Maiden mid-solo harmony that's just played on taiko drums of different pitches. Just remember thinking in the dream they surely weren't going to play that one live.

Apart from fans of music.

You're forgetting that Iron Maiden fans aren't Tool fans or Yes fans. The reason why basically nobody is bored when Maiden play The Red and the Black or even Seventh Son is because the songs are usually sandwiched between shorter or more universally recognizeable tracks.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

8 days and counting!

 

[blindg3]

It will sound like nothing you ever heard Maiden doing before.

I know that. We had a bit of songs like that: Empire of the clouds, DOD, Nomad, Wasted Love, etc. It's the word Tool that haunts me. I can't stand it.

 

[Midnight]

It's the word Tool that's disturbing me.

To quote the Loudwire review (again):

A lot of people will probably say this sounds a lot like Tool. The drumming makes the comparison easy, but that’s about the extent of that nation [sic].

 

[redandtheblack92]

How about giving 0 shits about reviews and actually just hearing the album and then deciding. The psychological thing about reviews is they bend your expectations towards the album and when you hear the actual thing you almost end up not liking it as much as you thought you would. So let’s not get too hyped up about the reviews and just hear the album. 8 days more to go.

 

[Ironalice]

Arrives by sept 13.. I hope this isn't the case Wal-Mart ....

 

[Meliegree]

Judging by dates this is big f*** up from someone. When I preordered CD day after Senjutsu was available to buy shop informed me that they will deliver album no sooner that on 9th of September.

 

[Jadukor]

Does this mean the stores are getting physical copies only on sep 3rd? God knows how many weeks till i get mine shipped :-(

 

[Meliegree]

I don't know about 'only' part but it's a possibility. Judging by dates - it is possible. So probably if you don't go to shop by yourself or you don't use streaming platform you wont get the album on 3rd. Which is BS.
