Nov 16, 2023 · The X Factor is an improvement in terms of moving away from that greasy, smooth sound, but its production is hardly first rate. The instruments are separated in a garage-y, manner and none of the individual instruments sound particularly exciting.

Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden in 1994 after a subpar farewell tour and accompanying PPV live performance called Raising Hell. This performance would be the last that fans of Iron Maiden would see of Bruce Dickinson. Iron Maiden was in disarray. They didn’t have their front-man that had guided them to superstardom in the heavy metal sphere. They ...
Boy, oh boy, Maiden fans were in a for a treat when they fired this one up in 1995. No one knew what to expect when they went out and bought this one. Starting off with chants and incantations of some sorts. Listeners were in for some sort of magic with this one. The second longest song in their catalog (at that point), “Sign of the Cross” was and ...
Coming back to Iron Maiden’s roots in literary and historical subject matters. “Lord of the Flies” is about the same book by William Golding. Starting off with one of the coolest guitar riffs I can imagine this song breaks away from the lengthy “Sign of the Cross” right off the bat. It breaks into a solid rocker that was the second single off the a...
The first single from the album that shows off perfectly what Blaze is capable of. It’s a great speed rocker that shows the notes that Blaze can hit and what Iron Maiden is all about. Based on the superb Michael Douglas movie, Falling Down. This song is inspired by that movie. “Man on the Edge” is a perfect showcase for this era of Iron Maiden. It’...
Now we’re going to slow it way down. After the blitzing “Man on the Edge”, “Fortunes of War” tells about the perils of war and the horror that men go through. It’s a dark subject that personifies the struggle and horror that people coming back from war go through. Our subject goes through the various ailments including: hearing voices, depression, ...
Another slow song that ramps up as it goes along. “Look for the Truth” is a song about your inner demons and finding the ways to defeat them. It has a message of hope and empowerment but leaves you with a sense of loss and depression also. ” It’s my final stand. I make a fist out of each hand. To the shadows of the past. Take a breath and I scream ...
They said that there wasn’t any songs that were written before the recording of The X-Factor, but this one sounds like a song that could have been on Fear of the Dark. A song that espouses a message that’s clearly anti-war. Echoing a similar sentiment to “Fortunes of War”, it asks the question of whether we should be fighting at all. Why are soldie...
A cheery sounding song that tells about a man who’s searching for purpose in life. He’s believed in religion for his whole life and yet, he’s incredibly depressed and frustrated. Finally, he’s looking to get on with his life and find meaning and purpose. Tarot cards and mumbo jumbo like that haven’t worked. It’s high time he takes over his own life...
A bass solo of sorts starts this one off. It transitions into a powerful song with a message about corruption, and how messed up the world is. A song that has a powerful message to this day. Our society is filled with violence and death to a point that it’s hard to comprehend. It’s the type of song that fits the vocal style of Blaze Bayley perfectl...
This is the most underrated track on the whole album. It’s one that has such a deep meaning to myself that I found it hard to listen to again for this review. Inspired by the novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and the film Apocalypse Now, the lyrics follow the same story as those two epic pieces of film and literature. I’ll get into why this ...
