Iron Maiden's Senjutsu, #CosoMusic peeps.
It got lauded by a lot of professional critics and soundly panned by a lot of fans. Me included at the beginning. I have to tell you that over time it's really grown on me. I started to "get" it.
It's like a retrospective but with new songs. A return to their influences like Jethro Tull and Thin Lizzy. I'm not sure you can *really* appreciate this album without listening to Aqualung and Black Rose. The folk-rock elements are front and centre.
@stueytheround I love!!!! this album
@stueytheround Have you seen this?

@jasod Oh yeah! I watched it the day it dropped. I've had the album on download for ages but Eleanor bought me the vinyl as a present. The artwork is out of this world!
@stueytheround Ever since Book of Souls dropped, I have been really excited by their reinvigorated sound. Much more Number of the Beast / Powerslave
@jasod They seem to be returning to their "roots" while also embracing their prog side. That's why I mentioned Jethro Tull earlier.
