Negative Positive
Title: An Iron Maiden album comprised mostly of ballads...
Review: If you've been a fan of the powerhouse vocals of Bruce Dickinson, then you may be disappointed by the more tame tracks sung by the new vocalist Blaze Bayley on "The X Factor." The lyrics are good, and the musicianship is great as always, but I fear that that the hard-driving tunes that we have come to expect from Iron Maiden are absent on this effort. However, if you are a big fan of their slower melodies from previous albums, then this will be a good one to pick-up and give Blaze Bayley a listen. Lastly, the rating of two stars is given in comparison to their previous albums, which are--simply--better releases.
