  METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - Iron Maiden - The X Factor
The "X" is certainly appropriate, as "The X Factor" is IRON MAIDEN's 10th studio album, and if you paid attention in algebra, you'll know that "x" also refers to something variable or unknown.
There's a pervasive hopelessness that runs through "The X Factor", to the point where it could be a concept album.
I know that I've described this album in a general sense, without giving much attention to specific songs, but "The X Factor" is more of an album experience than a song experience, something that needs to be soaked-up in its long, drawn out entirety.

  The X Factor (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The X Factor is a heavy metal album released October 2, 1995 by Iron Maiden.

 CD Baby: X FACTOR X: X Factor X
X Factor X has established itself as the premier rock/metal act in the New Haven CT area winning the New Haven Advocate Grand Band Slam readers pole for 3 years in a row.
X Factor X always stays true to their hard rock influences and gives a consistently intense stage show.
X Factor X can also let it all hang out as it does on "Playing With Fire" and "B.A.M.F." The latter is an acronym whose first two letters stand for "Bad Ass" (you, alas, have to guess what the last two letters stand for), and it's the heaviest song on the record.

 The Iron Maiden Commentary
The X Factor was the beginning of a new era of Iron Maiden, with Blaze Bayley as frontman and vocalist.
The album is a refreshingly dark and introspective exploration of the psyche – gone are the overly happy sounds that crippled the previous two albums.
Overall however, The X Factor is a dark and melancholy masterpiece which revitalised the band after the slow decline which reached rock-bottom with the departure of Dickinson.

 The X Factor
Devised by the despised American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, The X Factor is a variation on a theme in that instead of pitting only solo artists under a certain age against each other, groups are also admitted as well as oldies – 25 years and above.
No doubt the Ten Network is hoping the audience-participation factor will boost viewer numbers, maybe counting on all those SMS-obsessed teens out there wanting to play God by punching in their favourite’s voting code.
Time will tell if The X Factor starts to become a phenomenon rather than just a TV show, but the questions will still remain when it’s all over – how long are the voting viewers’ memories and will they buy the singles and albums when the excitement has died down?

 Iron Maiden reviews and interviews
This album marks the departure of Paul Di'Anno and the arrival of Bruce Dickinson (formerly of Samson), who is significantly different in style than Di'Anno.
Anyways, these two albums are worth getting if (i) they never remix and remaster them again, and (ii) you've never seen Maiden with Dickinson and want to find out what they sound like live with him.
The most interesting thing to me about this album is that it sounds just like any other Iron Maiden album would (i.e., they have not compromised their sound in any way whatsoever), but yet it still remain fresh to the ear.

 The X & why factor - Music - Entertainment - smh.com.au
As their 2000 debut album Parachutes shows, Coldplay began by writing songs that clearly owed a debt to Radiohead's muscular sensitivity and the Verve's tendency to dramatic gloom.
Jeff Buckley had died in 1997 with only one official album, though his influence was obvious on everyone from pain-racked singer-songwriters in Sydney to Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
But then they released a coke-addled third album, a perfunctory B-sides collection and were about to release a truly awful fourth album.

Steve, when he appeared first in the audition rounds, was shy, edgy and kinda cute, but as the weeks have gone on, the only thing he has proved is that there is no such thing as an 'X factor' when trawling through the general public.
The X Factor, apparently, is something special which you can 'see' if you have the all-seeing eye of say, Simon Cowell or Sharon Osbourne, who between them have launched hundreds of superstars and sold millions of records.
I bought Pop Idol winner Will Young's album because he's unique and special and he should have been brought here to remind everyone that it is possible to find a true star on this kind of talent show.

 Black Sabbath Online Forums: Iron Maiden’s Dark Album — The X-Factor
The production of the album is raw, and I would venture to say the album is very under-produced with a raw guitar tone.
The X Factor was written when there were hard times for Steve Harris: he’d just went thru a divorce, the future of the band was uncertain and there were a couple of serious financial problems for him.
And the b-sides for The X Factor are also great tunes (Justice Of The Peace, I Live My Way and Judgement Day), plus the The Who and U.F.O. covers.
