I don't get the dislike for Lost In A Lost World at all. To me it's either the 3rd or 4th best song on Senjutsu.

It’s probably the terribly sung chorus more than anything. I also don’t like the boring noodling that borrows from “Afraid To Shoot Strangers”.

I'm using Zare's keys as below, plus the (^) symbol to show that while music was ok, choice was made due to disliked lyrics.

The (*) mark are songs that happen to be least favourable on the record, while also being good or sometimes excellent tracks
The (+) mark are songs that have competition. E.g. I had to choose one from multiple bad options.
The unmaked are those that don't have competition, e.g. they're the sole track of the record I don't find that likable.

Iron Maiden - Sanctuary*
Killers - The Ides Of March - I hate to choose this, but If I had to get rid of any song on this album, might as well be the intro.
TNOTB - Gangland*
POM - Quest For Fire
Powerslave - Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)*
SIT - Heaven Can Wait - Good song, the chorus is a bit awkward.
SSOASS - The Prophecy*
NPFTD - Public Enema Number One - This one isn't really worse than any other song on the album. I like it. Still had to choose.
FOTD - The Apparition - Maybe the first easy choice.
TXF - Fortunes Of War*
VXI - The Angel And The Gambler - Another easy choice. Should've been the short version, or possibly even Virus.
BNW - Dream Of Mirrors - A good track, but too repetitious.
DOD - New Frontier - Poor Nicko, one song writing contribution and I mark it as the worst song. It's still a good song, but I chose this just for the lyrics.
AMOLAD - Different World*
TFF - The Man Who Would Be King - Great song, only chosen because of some awkward lyrics.
TBOS - Speed of Light*
Senjutsu - Lost In A Lost World - This one was very hard. It only chose this because there's a minute and a half in the middle which I believe should've been cut. Other than that, amazing track.

* denotes great songs on amazing albums that were chosen because I had to.

Man, that was rough!

Good point... how haven't I thought about it? Perhaps because I don't think of it as a song per se. Nevertheless it would be me my pick too easily.
