X Factor Outstanding Album !

"After several years of using similar music formula, Maiden
go a step foward with this excellent album, musically superior
than all past albums, added some progresive and gloomy keyboards
Nikko saw that some of the difficult drumms that he been played
is Sign of the Cross, when I discover this album years ago I loved until this day. Some friends that are more involved into
another kind of music like prog. rock, jazz, etc. where amazed
when i show them "Blood on the World's Hand" the intro with
acoustic bass, and the treatment of rythms and drumms are some
of the best i ever hear from Maiden. And if you like the classic
Maiden Line you have excellent tunes like Lord of the flies and
Man on the edge.
This is withou doubt some of the best Maiden Albums, Blaze Bayley is an excellent vocal, different than Bruce, but he really kick's bum!.
Don't lisent the unfair and fool bad reviews of some people that
don't know about Music, all bands need to experiment different ways, need to explore other possibilities, even if a member don't
want to continue it doesn't mean that a band it's Over, Dickinson
is not Maiden!, as a matter of fact some tunes of Blaze's albums
are still played by Bruce in the Actual Line Up.So do a favor for you're self and buy this album to start
this excellent dark and apocaliptic travel through the
excellent songs packed fully of advanced and outstanding music
skills. X FACTOR RULES ! UP THE IRONS !"

Good change in direction

"This is IM's most progressive album and it's gloomiest. Blaze has been critized ad nauseum for IM's perceived demise through this era. Not so. This was a great change in direction and while not Bruce, Blaze held his own.Mature IM fans will love this."
