Maybe I read it wrong but this review seems to be only half finished. He only talks about four of the tracks then it ends abruptly.

I was talking about the score. They don't give out 9s too often.

The new issue of the magazine Rock Hard France. 
10 pages of interviews and columns about Japan.
They gave 7,5/10 to 'Senjutsu'.

I don't know if I've said this before, but I'm really looking forward to the Senjutsu walk-on Eddie.

Well, you've got to justify choosing them over Sabbath and Metallica at the very least. It's a fair enough point even if I should think most here have a clear favourite.

So the majority of these reviews so far are in the positive. The main takeaways that excite me are:
- No repetitive choruses
- No complaints of Bruce straining (this was my biggest fear)
- Maiden sounding like Maiden while also doing some things different
- It seems to be a jump up from TBOS

I'd assume. But hopefully it's as well-detailed as the current Trooper Eddie is and not cheap-looking like the Gen. Custer Eddie from the Maiden England Tour.

I'm wondering about the big Eddie. Is it going to be head and maybe hands like a lot of the recent ones? Maybe based on the second cover without the helmet. Or is it going to be full body (or at least parts of the torso) like the SSOASS or DOD one? Then, he could wield the katana.

Listen carefully, very carefully, the music playing at the background....

its too quiet

Gee, thanks, Bruce.
It sounds way too heavy to be Maiden. Drums don’t sound like Nicko either. I doubt this is a tease of any new stuff.

I isolated the background music, doesn't really sound like maiden
