And here is Iron Maiden with a new singer Blaze Bayley. This album is unique in it's own way. Iron Maiden sounds sometimes silent and sometimes heavy, loud. Songs are filled with a delicacy and sensitiveness. Atmosphere in the songs is sad but also lively enough. The X Factor is mainly about melodies, varied feelings and emotions. Blaze sings in his own way and he gave a different mood for Iron Maiden. Whole album has a more different atmosphere than previous albums. But it's still Iron Maiden album. It has power, melodies and elements of Iron Maiden music. If you love it or hate it. The X Factor is a jewel in it's own way.
Album starts with "Sign of the cross". Songs contains mysterious intro and many varied melodies, moods, emotions.
"Lord of the flies" is another emotional song with beautiful melodies, vocals. "Man on the edge" has an energy and heavy riffs. "Fortunes of war" shows another sensibility. Sensational, beautiful melodies are also in "Look for the truth". "The aftermath" ranks among impressive songs. "Judgement of heaven" has good lyrics."Blood on the world's hands" contains pretentious melodies and through "The edge of darkness" I feel very special atmosphere.
"2 A.M." gives a new way for Iron Maiden. "The unbeliever" has a truthful lyrics and it's a last breath before the end of album.
I've told my opinions and thanks Iron Maiden for this album too.
