Senjutsu, Side A
THIS IS IT! We have reached the final (so far?) Iron Maiden album with Senjutsu! Their 17th studio album was released in September 2021, just one day shy of six years after their last album, beating the record set by The Book of Souls for the longest stretch between studio album releases. The album gets off to a strong start and Ed and Stu discuss the album’s positive commercial and critical reception, and how Senjutsu marked the band’s highest ever charting position on the Billboard 200, reaching #3.
