content: I hate to be critical of any band's releases, but this CD is just plain terrible... I think to blame is to production quality. Maiden jumping labels to smaller label CMC may have had something to do with it. I didn't mind Blayze's voice so much it was the sloppy production sound that annoyed me (maybe CMC didn't have the budget of a Capital or Epic, I don't know). I bought this album for the cover. I thought it looked cool and I was curious to hear the new vocalist. Glad I bought a used copy. Sorry folks, this is the worst Maiden album ever. If you want to hear Maiden with Blayze, then check out the latest "Virtual XI" it is much better than the X-Factor.
