MY DICK IS HARDER THAN STEEL

Fuck me man, cover art looks cool but why must an album be over 45 minutes. Book of Souls just bores the hell out of me, and is one of my least favorites mostly due to the length, I hope this is worth it, but I have a feeling it's gonna be much of the same.

There will be two cd less than 45 minutes, just listen to one at a time?

MY DICK IS HARDER THAN STEEL

All thanks to 6 old gentlemen. Weird.

No Dave songs. When was the last time that happened?

The X Factor, he co-wrote "Justice of the Peace" for that album though, which ended up as a B-side.

Brave New World had the most, with three Dave co-written tracks (Title track, Nomad, Thin Line).

 

[DJ James]

Just split it in two. Then you have two albums.

Two Book of Souls??? You're killing me now

 

[Iron Lurker]

u sure?

Rime, Tame, ATG, Red, TBOS, WInd, etc... Yes, I'm sure

 

[DJ James]

Not a full album experience.

 

[Gk1]

So we know by default that Steve destroyed 6 songs!

Not the first time. I'm overshowered by nostalgia reminiscing on when I first unsuspectingly clicked on that Lemonparty link someone sent on MSN.

God I hope Harris has done something special with this album. With those closing songs. Has potential to really be something special

 

[giratina]

Is this like Stranger In A Strange Land V2.0 ?

4. Lost In A Lost World (Harris) 9:3

 

[Jadukor]

Sharing the excitement with you all before "play the classics" crowd come in and go all debbie downer on this thread!

 

[Iron Brody]

Okay, what's gonna be on the Blu-Ray?

Well, Bruce does say they did “something special as a video,” so we’ll just have to wait I guess :/

The X Factor, he co-wrote "I Live My Way" for that album though, which ended up as a B-side.

Think it was Justice of the Peace

 

[giratina]

I was worried about the cover illustration but it's OK. Maybe a little too reminiscent of BOS. This however, is lovely!

I see BOS Eddie wearing a hat.

 

[DJMayes]

"Days of Future Past" will be the shortest Iron Maiden song since "Wildest Dreams" and "Rainmaker". Interested to see how that turns out.

Is this like Stranger In A Strange Land V2.0 ?

I am fine with that.

Some info:

Senjutsu – loosely translated as ‘tactics & strategy’.
Album cover by Mark Wilkinson.
The album cover is based on an idea by Steve.
The album running time is 82 minutes... shorter than TBOS.
Double CD album/triple vinyl album.

Man, I have not been here for a WHILE.
Logged in to say I'm excited! I'll be very positive, even though I'm worried about the 82 minute length and the final 3 songs being 10+ minute Harris tracks. I really do love the current era of Maiden, since 2000, but you can't argue that sometimes they tend to go overboard with repetitions and the amount of songs per album.

At least we know they're not trying to break their own record with each new release.

Also, the cover art being eddie on a black background again is kind of boring. I love this iteration of Eddie itself, but I wish there was a cool background.

I would guess he meant the WOTW video with that, given how excited he was about it.
