See I have a lot of hate comments on the other end of the spectrum people saying I'm delusional for liking it and attacking other commenters for sharing their happiness with this record 🥴
OMG that was hilarious. I find it funny that people were commenting on your “man bun” like it was something bad. Didn’t the Samurai literally have Man Buns!!? LOL
At the end of the day, despite whatever my own opinion is, I have a lot more respect for people who come up with their own opinions on an album and are willing to hear out other people's opinions, than people who defend their opinions at all costs without considering what other people have to say. Also, I've never understood the perspective that someone's age is what defines their knowledge or credibility. It's a pretty old ass boomer/high school teacher level of stupid that's ironic for a group of people that never cease to pride themselves on their "individuality".
Your review wasn't even that negative. People just love to give each other crap. Goes both ways too, there are plenty who hate modern Maiden who give me crap for loving all of it.
@@blackwaterrust476 Oh god, just like Metallica fans they always argue which album or era of the band is better. Like calm down music is all subjective, and I'm saying this as a Dream Theater fan.
I do think it’s the best of the modern era but I respect your opinion. I would probably give it 3.5/5. I hate when older people say us younger people don’t know anything about metal. But yet they complain about this generation of kids not listening to it.
Damn dude, hope you're ok after this. I didn't even think your review was that bad. Sure in some parts your were a bit harsher than I might've been, but in the end I think 3/5 is an adequate score (even though as of now I'd give it an enthusiastic 3/5). I mean depending on how you rank the remaining albums, especially the newer ones, I think it's difficult to score much higher than that. As I said before, I think this is the weakest after the reunion, which means the maximum I could probably give Senjutsu would be a 3.5. I know other people disagree with me and that's ok, I'm glad you like the record :)
Goddamnit, I should have written a comment when the review video came out since I watched it on day 1. It wouldn't have a personal attack or an age reference but I sure as hell have concluded my comment with "Up the irons"... Anyway, you've earned a sub simply because it's rare to see that kind of honest and straightforward attitude nowadays! Keep it up!
To be fair, the Ed Hunter compilation is what got me into Iron Maiden. It's great for when you wanna get into a band and don't know where to start, and gauge if the band appeals to your tastes. Having that be the *only* album you buy or listen to after claiming to like the band though is another thing; that could be considered "poser shit".
This is mainly aimed at the old dudes who think they can insult you cuz you are young. I’m 40. I met Maiden when I was 12 during Fear of the Dark tour, met Dickinson and Smith when I was 17 during his accident of birth solo album tour and hung out with him just he and I for 30 minutes and answered all my questions. All that and I STILL won’t let it make me make biased opinions on em! If you like the new album, good, cool, but don’t give anyone else crap cuz they dislike it’ll do not hold it up as high as you do. I find everything after brave new world boring. This new release is still boring. So everyone giving you crap need to realize that even a lifelong fan of Maiden can actually find their new material unappealing. I don’t blame their age at all. Helloween released their new album just a couple of months ago and in my honest opinion it’s amazing! And it’s better than the last two albums they released. Lifelong Helloween fan as well and can admit not all of their albums are the best. They too have been around for a long time. Keep making these videos, screw these fanboys, drink another for me.
As a die hard fan i wouldn't shit on anyone who disliked senjutsu, i can see where the dislikers are coming from in a way theres too many long songs and if i enjoyed it then that's all that matters
I think I missed the part where you sported a ‘ponytail’? Class of ‘85. Glad Bruce and Adrian rejoined. They’ve had MOMENTS on 90s and forward where they have shined. A favorite in my lifetime. My first live experience in ‘83. ‘88 was MY pinnacle…
To the older guys saying that they love this album and that because they are older, their opinion is more valid than Robert's, I'm 46, grew up with Iron Maiden, and found this to be a lackluster album. Also, age doesn't determine the validity of a person's opinion.
Ok without falling into any categories here, just want to say I'm 33 I've been listening to iron maiden since I was like 10 and while I do consider them my favorite band in the overall sense, I am not an obsessive Stan. I will go to bat for all their music over most other artists but I understand that comparing their own albums to each other requires a lot of context. I liked Senjutsu a lot but I know damn well it's not going to stack up entirely to say Powerslave and that's fine, they released so much great shit I will be genuinely happy with whatever they put out and won't need to quantify it with anything else. Just wanted you to know I'm part of the non salty diehard fans who can have a civil discussion. Also your channel rules thank you for being consistent and a real one 🤘🤘
Ah, yes. Nothing better than a good roast around the campfire. Fanboys gonna fanboy. I found the album whelming and I think we were on the same page, Rob. Keep being your fantastic fucking self. Also, I hope your liver handles your treatment of it as well as you handle your treatment by fans.
Even when book of souls came out I was thinking it should of been there last album. this album kinda put me too sleep. Also I agree hell on earth is probably Bruce's best vocals on the album.
I had to go back and watch the Iron Maiden review first. I was gonna skip it because Ive never cared about Iron Maiden whatsoever haha but I needed some context. It was worth watching that video to get to this video lol.
It's not fair you get all the best comments 😅😅 keep the content up dude, I can't stand watching reviews that aren't honest. No idea why people get salty over 1 album and someone's opinion 😅
The Infinity Gauntlet has to stay! Here's hoping the salty feckers keep commenting so there's a round 2. At my age (shot 1) I have been around for the whole of Maidens discography and they are one of my favourite bands (shot 2?) so I will give Senjutsu several more listens (shot 3) and try to find out what the hell these dudes (slightly sexist shot 4?) are chatting about. The metal meltdown channel is a constant source of honesty that is quite refreshing to this old (shot5?) metalhead. Oh and of course not forgetting "UP The Irons!" (shot 6) Cheers Robert
Iron Maiden are my favorite band of all-times. Having said that I refer to that album as Shitjutsu. I've been forcing it on myself trying to get it to grow on me. Brave New World might be the last album I loved. "Best album since Powerslave"? Really? 😂😭😂😭🤣🤣😭🤣😭🤣😂
Hey metal meltdown have you herd a band called Agalloch if you haven’t you should give them a try if you like orchid/watershed era opeth but anyway man love your videos and keep up the good work man
@@themetalmeltdownofficial yes one of my favourite albums is the demonstration archive and ashes against the grain now that’s a fucking beautiful masterpiece of music and one more I like pale folklore but the other albums are great as well tho man 😁😁😁😁🤟🤟🤟🤟
@@blackwaterrust476 I don’t know the melody’s sound a lot like opeth but there more ulver you right there one of my favourite albums by opeth is still life that’s a beautiful story and album do you agree with me there?
One of them said you can't compare the 60years themselves to their '80s era. Well just go to a Uriah Heep concert and you will see that you can. I was a Maiden fan since the mid 90's but every time I saw Heep I felt that their shows were more memorable for me than Maiden. They simply can't get old and still performed on 100% , no matter if it was 2002 or 2022. 1. Some bands can keep the quality that made them great but unfortunately Maiden seems to care more about the live shows than the records lately. 2. Others realize when they get old and cannot sing in the same range so they change their singing style to handle the situation (which Bruce didn't really do). Even Blaze - the least-liked singer of Maiden - is aging better than Bruce (just listen to the last 2 Wolfsbane albums).
I think including “Up the Irons” in your rules was a mistake, tbh. It’s a pretty standard Maiden fan comment, no matter what the discussion is. You managed to edit and post this, so you obviously didn’t die, but the risk was too high. I’m a *huge* Maiden fan, and I loved Senjutsu. But, these comments are insane.
Great holy cthulu! Someone has a different opinion than me on art, which is by its nature subjective! I have to write an angry comment about it! Sarcasm aside, I think your original review was well thought out, and this video was just gold
Dang I picked a bad day to quit drinking. I thought the new album was ok, better than I expected. I liked about half of the songs, most on disc 1, but hey prog Maiden is rarely for me. But I don't get people who are just so far on one side or the other, saying it's a perfect 10 or the worst thing ever. Thing is almost nothing in existence past present or future ever lives up to either extreme.
haha this was fantastic! From what I have heard of the album, I'm not impressed. But since I haven't listened to it 100 times, I'm a complete moron. How dare I say or think anything negatively about the mighty Iron Maiden???!!! Meh I say! I don't want to waste my time trying to listen to this Senjutsu mediocrity.
I watch these videos again, and mostly what comes to mind is how laughably insecure these “true fans” are. If you’re that massive of a fan, why does some no-name (sorry Rob) rattle you so much? If someone talked shit about my favorite album, I would be like “cool” and go back to listening to it.
Dude, these people are a joke! I loved the LP, but I also loved your review because I am able to appreciate others' views. Keep it up dude and Up th I- ahh shit
Iron Maiden fan here, Senjutsu is great but I admit this isn't the greatest album only a few songs stuck mostly the title track and TWOTW, the art style and song ideas are great, and here's where others will kill me, I prefer AMOLAD over this, plenty of bangers on there, top being Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, disagree with me if you will, but I said what I said
If they ever do their 18th album personally they should go back to the heavy metal roots think we have had enough of these 10 minute prog songs not saying sound like they did in the 80s but lets keep the long and short songs consistent 10 minute track after another 10 minute track is a bit much and excessive after a while
Since my comment didn't get mentioned I guess I made good job LOL. The video clearly shows how toxic and idiotic the Iron Maiden fanbase can be. I mean, Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time and I worship the ground the band walks on, but there is no reason to insult people who have a different opinion. We all like what we like and for different reasons and that's how it should be. As long as the discussion is civil, rational and good arguments are brought up, I can discuss with anybody who disagree with me.
I gave the album another listen and I take back what I originally graded it. Maiden is one of my all time favorite, but man, I could barely get through the first disc. It was that boring.
Great video! Hilarious! I am a Maiden fan. Saying that I now say this: Senjutsu is the most boring/lackluster album I believe they have ever released. If this comment hurts a readers feelings well go and be bored then. Nappy time.
Furthermore I appreciated your discerning review. And I think we all know what Maiden are still capable of, that’s what’s a little frustrating. I really wish they would be less formulaic and go a little deeper with their songwriting. I think this album is a step in the right direction anyway. Up the Irons!!! 😂
Straight vodka is so ruthless lol. Idk what is more effective torture, getting crucified by Iron Maiden boomers or the shots that taste like rubbing alcohol. Thank you for your sacrifice!
I think this video could've just been named "Rob looks for excuses to drink (Iron Maiden edition)". 😂 Great video, dude. 🤘 P.S.: The amount of salt in some of these comments, made my blood pressure skyrocket. 🙈
I actually will say while it has many views for a lot of people, I for one will say that it's a very overhyped album, as with Inifnite Granite being one of them for many because of it being different yet alone I do love a lot of the album for that. Senjutsu is very much not close as one of their best albums and despite the negatives I had with it I do like it though not one of my top ten of the year maybe. Man some overreacting fans are just judgemental and I am a fan of Maiden myself but I do accept and respect others who either like or not like the album. Also I do hate vodka... not a diss with your choice of drink so more power to you as I'd take cider or beer.
Its like any band, doesnt matter how influential or iconic their music was, they can go on too long, become stale, and the butthurt fanboys cant handle anything less than "this is epic the best of all time" and its rediculous. Iron Maiden has some solid albums but IMO they are overhyped, overrated, and they are old and milking it at this point.
Hahaha nice one dude 🥃 *TINK* Hey, the bigger the fanbase, the larger the crowd of crybabies to handle 😂 Maybe some of these poor souls will learn to not take things as a personal attack on their Iron Maiden religion... Just a reminder - Legendary bands we worship are capable of putting out mediocre bleh metal. Coming from a guy who's seen em a couple times and listened for about 30 years...I like and respect these guys A LOT. They're fucking legends, but I'm definitely not a fanboy. With that said - This album feels like it's trying to be too anthemic and I agree that Bruce doesn't sound that great here. The overall feel is that it's very safe and familiar. Good, but doesn't make me want to go back and listen more 3/5
People will listen to them and buy their albums regardless if their good or not. I just don't like the very hardcore fans attacking people who have some type of criticism of a song or album.
The exponentially increasing use of "fuck you" is hilarious. I wasn't super into the singles of this record. Debating whether or not I'm actually going to sit through it yet
@@themetalmeltdownofficial yeah maybe. I liked the music of Writing on the Wall but vocally it just reminds me of Book of Souls. Which he also sounded mega tired on. No hate to Bruce, of course. May listen to it before my next podcast recording session, see what's what. But good reviews man! Hopefully negative comments don't wear you down too much. I think we actually shouted you out on one of the episodes of the show, around when that abysmal six feet under record dropped. Had my cohost listen to zodiac while we recorded
@@themetalmeltdownofficial that's completely fair! I've taken to that as well the past few years. Mainly just say "thanks" and move on Its called the Distorted Entertainment Podcast! A friend of mine and I give each other an album to listen to and review on each episode, and we also go over various music, movies/shows, gaming and entertainment news. But everything skews towards music, and metal at that. Hoping to have our 1 year anniversary show edited and up by Saturday.
This new album sucked. Hard. It could have easily just been one disc at double the speed and it would have been OKAY. But in its current state...it blows.
Great holy cthulu! Someone has a different opinion than me on art, which is by its nature subjective! I have to write an angry comment about it! Sarcasm aside, I think your original review was well thought out, and this video was just gold
i loved the album, but there is no point shitting on someone just because they don't like it. people take opinions way too seriously.
With music I agree.
See I have a lot of hate comments on the other end of the spectrum people saying I'm delusional for liking it and attacking other commenters for sharing their happiness with this record 🥴
God damn really? Fuck those guys then
@@themetalmeltdownofficial Need to infinity snap both sides outta here
OMG that was hilarious. I find it funny that people were commenting on your “man bun” like it was something bad. Didn’t the Samurai literally have Man Buns!!? LOL

That record was the most 3/5 of all 3/5s imho and I really can’t fathom being that passionate about it. But to each their own.
Your review wasn't even that negative. People just love to give each other crap. Goes both ways too, there are plenty who hate modern Maiden who give me crap for loving all of it.
Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time, but holy shit these fanboys take things way to far. Slayer and Dream Theater fanboys are even worse.
Slayer fans freak out when famous people wear t-shirts and Dream Theater fans freak out... well... all the time kinda...
The only people that hate Dream Theater more than Dream Theater haters (Like Me) are Dream Theater Fans.
@@blackwaterrust476 Oh god, just like Metallica fans they always argue which album or era of the band is better. Like calm down music is all subjective, and I'm saying this as a Dream Theater fan.
@@blackwaterrust476 why do you hate dream theater?
Being a Dream Theater fan myself, it's absolutely agonizing to interact with most of the fanbase online.
I do think it’s the best of the modern era but I respect your opinion. I would probably give it 3.5/5. I hate when older people say us younger people don’t know anything about metal. But yet they complain about this generation of kids not listening to it.
Are we listening too it or not 😁
I enjoyed the album. As long as maiden keeps making music, everyone will tune in and listen.
I thought we lost you there at 14:50 hahaha

@@themetalmeltdownofficial that would truly be a Metal Meltdown for these Iron Maiden fanboys lol
Since my comment didn't get mentioned I guess I made good job LOL. The video clearly shows how toxic and idiotic the Iron Maiden fanbase can be. I mean, Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time and I worship the ground the band walks on, but there is no reason to insult people who have a different opinion. We all like what we like and for different reasons and that's how it should be. As long as the discussion is civil, rational and good arguments are brought up, I can discuss with anybody who disagree with me.
I gave the album another listen and I take back what I originally graded it. Maiden is one of my all time favorite, but man, I could barely get through the first disc. It was that boring.
Did you like book of souls?
Oof the Age rule hits home
Great video! Hilarious!
I am a Maiden fan.
Saying that I now say this:
Senjutsu is the most boring/lackluster
album I believe they have ever released.
If this comment hurts a readers feelings well go and be bored then.
Nappy time.
Furthermore I appreciated your discerning review. And I think we all know what Maiden are still capable of, that’s what’s a little frustrating. I really wish they would be less formulaic and go a little deeper with their songwriting. I think this album is a step in the right direction anyway. Up the Irons!!! 😂
Straight vodka is so ruthless lol. Idk what is more effective torture, getting crucified by Iron Maiden boomers or the shots that taste like rubbing alcohol. Thank you for your sacrifice!
very entertaining...thanks
This is my favourite video ever
I think this video could've just been named "Rob looks for excuses to drink (Iron Maiden edition)". 😂
Great video, dude. 🤘
P.S.: The amount of salt in some of these comments, made my blood pressure skyrocket. 🙈
I actually will say while it has many views for a lot of people, I for one will say that it's a very overhyped album, as with Inifnite Granite being one of them for many because of it being different yet alone I do love a lot of the album for that. Senjutsu is very much not close as one of their best albums and despite the negatives I had with it I do like it though not one of my top ten of the year maybe. Man some overreacting fans are just judgemental and I am a fan of Maiden myself but I do accept and respect others who either like or not like the album. Also I do hate vodka... not a diss with your choice of drink so more power to you as I'd take cider or beer.
First time ever watching this channel. Let me know if you want to record an honest discussion about this album. I’ll go sip for sip as well
I like 2000s maiden more than 80s. Sorry :(
@@micshazam842 my first album was piece of mind and i have been superfan ever since :p but i just like everything they have done post 2000s
@@micshazam842 i feel u blood brother
Love BNW. Has anyone here heard the radio cut of wicker man?
Its like any band, doesnt matter how influential or iconic their music was, they can go on too long, become stale, and the butthurt fanboys cant handle anything less than "this is epic the best of all time" and its rediculous. Iron Maiden has some solid albums but IMO they are overhyped, overrated, and they are old and milking it at this point.
Slipsnot is my favourite thrash metal band.
Edit: *boring* thrash metal band.
Thrash is testament overkill exodus
@@James-hh1lq ... thats the joke.
I'm glad to see you're commenting. It's a strong sign that you're still alive. I would be dead for sure! Jesus!
Hahaha nice one dude 🥃 *TINK*
Hey, the bigger the fanbase, the larger the crowd of crybabies to handle 😂 Maybe some of these poor souls will learn to not take things as a personal attack on their Iron Maiden religion... Just a reminder - Legendary bands we worship are capable of putting out mediocre bleh metal.
Coming from a guy who's seen em a couple times and listened for about 30 years...I like and respect these guys A LOT. They're fucking legends, but I'm definitely not a fanboy. With that said - This album feels like it's trying to be too anthemic and I agree that Bruce doesn't sound that great here. The overall feel is that it's very safe and familiar. Good, but doesn't make me want to go back and listen more 3/5
People will listen to them and buy their albums regardless if their good or not. I just don't like the very hardcore fans attacking people who have some type of criticism of a song or album.
copium at its finest on your part
The exponentially increasing use of "fuck you" is hilarious.
I wasn't super into the singles of this record. Debating whether or not I'm actually going to sit through it yet
Give it a shot! Who knows, you may find yourself enjoying it. Lord knows everyone else is lol
@@themetalmeltdownofficial yeah maybe. I liked the music of Writing on the Wall but vocally it just reminds me of Book of Souls. Which he also sounded mega tired on. No hate to Bruce, of course. May listen to it before my next podcast recording session, see what's what.
But good reviews man! Hopefully negative comments don't wear you down too much. I think we actually shouted you out on one of the episodes of the show, around when that abysmal six feet under record dropped. Had my cohost listen to zodiac while we recorded
Oh, they never do. If I fell apart everytime an asshole on the internet ran their mouth I'd get nothing done. And cool man! What podcast is this?
@@themetalmeltdownofficial that's completely fair! I've taken to that as well the past few years. Mainly just say "thanks" and move on
Its called the Distorted Entertainment Podcast! A friend of mine and I give each other an album to listen to and review on each episode, and we also go over various music, movies/shows, gaming and entertainment news. But everything skews towards music, and metal at that. Hoping to have our 1 year anniversary show edited and up by Saturday.
God why vodka of all things🤮
Cause yummy
Iron Maiden.. that’s that band that sings something about Breaking laws and mastering puppetry right?? 🤔
I like the album. I disagree with your review. That is all, just opinions, not facts.
It's sad these days that people have too say it's a opinion.
Chuck Billy and Bobby Blitz both had throat cancer and they each recovered. Yet they both sound amazing. Bruce's voice is definitely lacking.
I don't get the salt. ITS A FUCKING OPINION!
This new album sucked. Hard. It could have easily just been one disc at double the speed and it would have been OKAY. But in its current state...it blows.
Great holy cthulu! Someone has a different opinion than me on art, which is by its nature subjective! I have to write an angry comment about it!
Sarcasm aside, I think your original review was well thought out, and this video was just gold
