Really? When the video stream started, i thought it was an intro to the announcement. I realized it was the song only when Bruce started singing.

You know, if it helps you sleep better, you could go back to the posts in this thread and do a manual ranking of the averageBut how will we ever know the average perception of album quality??? This keeps me awake at night.

For me
BNW
TBOS
AMOLAD/DOD (DOD gets bonus points which drags it uas I remember listening to the world premiere of a couple of songs on the radio which was an experience)
TFF
I am expecting TBOS part 2 for Senjustu which is fine for me
for the “surprising” elements. i think after hearing TWOTW I am expecting more use of acoustic guitars

I'd put them probably like this:
1. AMoLaD
2. BNW
3. DoD/TFF
4. TBoS
Out of these, TBoS is the only album that I have some pretty strong negative feelings about. The 10/10 title track would land in my top 5 Maiden songs for sure and I like IESF and TGU, but the rest of the songs are really subpar in my opinion. There are great moments for sure, but overall I'm not a fan of the writing on this album.
If majority of songs on Senjutsu are TWotW level or better, it has a chance to land on the 3rd spot at least. Fingers crossed.

TWOTW and some of the Harris epics, the title track or another Smith/Dickinson song.

As you scream into the web of silence...
I still rank the reunion albums as:
1. Brave New World (2000)
2. The Book of Souls (2015)
3. A Matter of Life and Death (2006)
4. Dance of Death (2003)
5. The Final Frontier (2010)
If Senjutsu is worse than Dance of Death I will still be happy as hell. Below TFF and I’ll be happy but not quite satisfied. Now if it ends up being worse than Killers I will be sad.

Yeah, I was impressed with its expansive scope compared with the usual stuff. Disappointed with the fans' ranking of it.Same exact ranking!

I've been replaying them all recently. BNW has no bad tracks. AMOLAD has great drums and some huge songs but gets bogged down with repetition. DOD has a few great ones but is muddy and goes weak in places. I'm still not amoured with BOS as it sounds so ordinary. The Great Unknown has a strong verse but the bridge and chorus are like "That'll do".
I think we're in the minority.

Uniformly distributed hostility
In case of YT doesn't work If Eternity Should Fail ending is also in the same key, as this new track. Ending of IESF = intro to WOTW.
The verses are done in the same style as Tears of a Clown. The main lick is something Smith would've done as texture before.
Song is not Maiden by the numbers, but it's far from surprising, as its ingredients have popped up before, often.

DEEPER GREY CAME TO MOURN
I feel exactly the same with TGU. "that'll do" bridge and chorus. I also find that'll do moments scattered across WTRRD and SOTV. Frustrating.

"Can you see them riding. Riding next to you!"
Was that on the Billboard 200 or one of those charts that doesn’t count?

Guys, has this been discussed? Someone from a a brazilian iron maiden group on Facebook has found this ("includes TWOTW + Stratego, which could be the second single?). The link is from amazon br, it seems, and isn't available anymore. I have no idea if this is legit or not. Just showing.

Someone has already posted it here. With part of the lyrics included. Not so much discussed yet.

Oh, for me.
TBOS My most favorite Maiden album of all time, but that could change.
BNW DOD AMOLAD TFF all tied for 2nd

I thought DOD was universally considered the worst of the reunion albums by quite a margin.
