Today marks four years since Senjutsu was released. Time flew by and I started this thread to hear your thoughts on it after all this time.

I still really like it; it's an album that's aged well for me, better than The Book of Souls, for example. I still consider Stratego, TWOTW, The Parchment, and Hell on Earth to be very strong songs, some of the best from the post-reunion era. And also enjoy Senjutsu, LIALW, and Death of the Celts.

What do you guys think? Has the album aged well or poorly?
 
I still consider it one of my favorite Maiden albums, so that's great. One of the best too, with Top 10 material. It feels fresh, interesting(! more than half of it) and impactful, which is important. No filler, all killer (yes even the not popular Lost World, Time Machine and Celts, they all bring something noticeable to the album). Also, a special one because of Nicko.

If I have to note some gripes: one or two more repeats in Hell On Earth(!) and a harmony for Days Of Future Past. That's it. And I would like more (1-2, with no intros) shorter and faster(!) songs per album. No doubt. Some parts are lengthy, but most of the time it's not something that bothers me much.

The production probably hasn't aged that well. I would like a more modern one for once.

Time flies. I really miss releasing new albums more often. Come on, Maiden...
 
I still find it as overbloated and plodding as I did 4 years ago. There are some good moments in there, but to me it is the weakest reunion album.
