	The Iron Maiden Commentary
		Virtual XI is Iron Maiden's second studio album with Blaze Bayley as vocalist.
		Although there will always be people who are unable to accept this evolution, Virtual XI demonstrates that the band has indeed overcome their painful transitional period and are now continuing to do what they do best – making great music.
		Albums should not be subject to such commercialisation and advertising gimmicks, which in my opinion only cheapen the mood and feeling of the album.

	Virtual XI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Virtual XI is the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden's 11th studio album, released March 23, 1998.
		This is possibly because this album was the first one where Steve Harris performed several of the keyboard-parts recorded on the album himself (in the previous three albums it had been entirely done by Michael Kenny, and before then keyboard use had been minnimal).
		This is the third album by Maiden that was not named after a song on the album (similarly to Piece of Mind and the previous album).

	Amazon.co.uk: Reviews for Virtual XI: Music: Iron Maiden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This album has been slated by the majority of fans and critics alike,but in truth its pretty stirring stuff,faster than latter maiden albums despite having a more traditional rock sound in parts than the standard maiden style.
		Maidens 2nd album with Blaze and althought not as good as The X factor, which in,my opinion is Maidens best along with 7th son and somewhere in time, it is stil a strong album.
		Virtual XI is the second album from Iron Maiden with Blaze Bayley on vocals, and while it is an improvement on the previous album (The X-Factor) it is below the standard of albums like 'Piece of Mind' and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' which cemented Maiden's reputation.

		This album, boasting such songs as the title track and {and"Hallowed By Thy Name,"} would come to be known as one of the greatest rock recordings of all time.
		One of the album's singles, {and"Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter,"} was granted the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Song Of The Year, but it nonetheless gave the band its first #1 U.K. hit.
		In 1998, little interest in the Virtual XI album prompted Bayley's termination; Dickinson and Smith returned to the band for a tour in 1999.

	The X Factor (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The X Factor is a heavy metal album released October 2, 1995 by Iron Maiden.
		Their future 1998 album would be called Virtual XI due to being their 11th studio album.
		The tour for the album, like the tour for their next album, Virtual XI, was cut short after Blaze suffered a violent allergic reaction to certain elements used on the stages where the band performed.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Virtual XI
		Their latest album, Virtual XI, all but kills the progress the band had made just one album ago, and makes me pine all the more for the classic days of Maiden.
		It's also interesting to note that of the three songs I thought were the highlights of the album, two of them were co-written by Bayley (and one of them, "Como Estais Amigos," had no trace of Steve Harris anywhere in it).
		I really wanted to like Virtual XI, but this is one of the weakest Maiden efforts since the atrocious Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (uh, oh, I can feel the flame mail comin' in with that comment).

	Iron Maiden - Virtual XI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		"Virtual XI" begins with "Futureal," a short, fast tune that brings to mind previous Maiden classics with it's galloping thump and intricate guitar work.
		Disregarding "Futureal," the average song on "Virtual XI" is six-minutes long, repetitive and mildly dull.
		However (and this is the biggest problem with Virtual XI), the chorus is unbelievably bad.

	Untitled Document
		The first album to be produced by the band, with the new front man, was 'The X Factor'.
		The album and the first Single release Man On The Edge both made the top ten, and as the case has being for virtually the last nineteen years, Maiden remained the best selling heavy metal band in the U.K. The X Factor was also album of the year in both Germany and France.
		Furthermore, the ‘silenced’ critics reached the conclusion that despite not being ‘classic’ Maiden, and not the most motivating of albums, The X Factor was of a highly consistent standard — and alongside Virtual XI, easily the most consistent since 1988’s Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.

	Metal Millennium Album Reviews \| Iron Maiden \| Brave New World
		The only real difference between this and the last album is a much more clear production and a less gloomy atmosphere in song structure.
		The guitars sound very polished and well mixed, as the solos on this album are what make this album worth listening.
		Virtual XI is worth the listen, but the purchase may depend on you.

		Virtual XI, released in 1998, is yet another disappointing album with Blaze Bayley as the leader singer.
		The band continued with Virtual XI in 1998, which is now considered one of the worst albums in Maiden's career.
		Virtual XI maintains the sound of Maiden (which X Factor didn't), but X Factor seemed tailor made to fit Blaze's singing style.

	MetalBite - Heavy Metal Webzine - Tracks
		Virtual XI and The X factor while the albums were ok, were nothing compared to the masterpiece qualities that Seventh Son and Piece of Mind were.
		After the incredible debacle that was '98's Virtual XI, the metal world lifted a mighty brew in toast of the return of the incomparable bruce Dickinson to the band that made him famous.
		Its a splendid return to form by the kings of metal and it is worthy of your attention as a metalhead.

		So to tie in with Virtual XI, we have the five members of the band and the eleven is made up of six international soccer players.
		So, the first couple albums is in the streets, which we turned into a whole virtual environment so you can walk around the streets and encounter all the different characters.
		The album covers are brought to life into a 3D environment and Eddy is a 100,000 hologram character, which is more than the T-Rex in Jurassic Park.

		This album isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
		If Bruce were singing this would probably considered at least an average album.
		This album is a big step up from X Factor and actually has some good tracks:

	Somewhere in Time (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Somewhere in Time is the sixth studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 29 September 1986.
		Bruce Dickinson's song material was refused in favour of the songs of guitarist Adrian Smith, who wrote the bulk of the songs identified with the album (including the singles "Wasted Years" and "Stranger in a Strange Land ").
		The album art, particularly that for the song 'Stranger in a Strange Land' was a major inspiration for the music video "The Angel and the Gambler" from the Virtual XI album in 1998.

	IRON MAIDEN Virtual XI reviews and MP3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A hollow album that made no points of interest for me, some how I was albe to make it through the album a few times enough to come to the conclusion that this was truely the eara where Iron Maiden lost it's edge.
		Nevertheless this doesn't mean that the album is bad, not at all.
		Anyway, Virtual XI is a good album; if you like Blaze's vocals and you enjoyed The X Factor, you should give it a try.

		Due to his uncontrollable alcohol addiction, Di'Anno was forced to part company with the group and would soon be replaced with vocalist Bruce Dickinson in 1982 for the band's groundbreaking Number of the Beast.
		Fear of the Dark, the band's last album with Dickinson, debuted at number one on the U.K. charts and became one of their biggest-selling albums to date.
		In 1998, little interest in the Virtual XI album prompted Bayley's termination; Dickinson and Smith returned to the band for a tour in 1999, and a new album, Brave New World, emerged the following year.

		Iron Maiden's 11th album's cover displays, in one corner, a young boy sitting on a hillock with a VR helmet strapped to his face.
		Unfortunately, I must confess that this album is nevertheless rather a disappointment.
		Virtual XI features many of the same hooks and ideas as X-Factor and previous Maiden works without injecting anything truly interesting.

		We knew what to expect, but this record particularly exceeded all my expectations, and will probably exceed yours as well, forget about Queensryche and Metallica releasing new disappointing material, not to mention all the carbon copy bands out there, these guys are the real deal, and here is yet another record to prove it.
		Album is excelent,Bruce sings like he is in best years,Pashandale is THE best song in album...
		Maybe it's not at the same level than their 80's albums, but an album like this would be the best of any other band saving some exceptions.

	Eddie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The band decided to keep the "new" Eddie's appearance as a secret for everybody until the first album, therefore the Eddie which appears on the Running Free sleeve, is standing in the shadows.
		The first album indeed featured the face of Eddie, it was still a 'weird' Eddie and Derek soon changed his face.
		Experiencing an album is not only done with the ears, but also with the eyes and imagination.

		The tour hasn’t been a completely smooth ride - it’s been dogged by bad weather and more seriously, three shows had to be cancelled after guitarist Janick Gers fell more than ten feet from the stage at the end of their show in Mannheim, Germany.
		It's a new album, and it's important to play the new stuff - this is where we are now.
		This is the end of a three year cycle for four of us, which goes way back to before doing the 'Virtual XI' album.

		The co-operation with them is enjoyable and I will be the one recording drums for their new album and of course, touring with them afterwards."

	The Metal Crypt - Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Second album of the so-called "Blaze era", Virtual XI has many detractors, and not without reason.
		It takes a few listens to get into this album, in fact I had not listened to it in over three years, having given up on it a bit too quickly.
		Still probably my least favourite of the Maiden albums because of the filler material, but no longer the stinker I used to think it was....

	[No title]
		I was really expecting a better album than "The X-Factor", but it isn´t.
		It is amazing how the equalization is weird in this album and The X-Factor also.
		The album begins with "Futureal", a good 3-minute song in the same style of Man onthe Edge, but not as good.

		Although the release was recorded in a hurry, it was nonetheless a hit in the U.K. due to the single "Running Free." Iron Maiden's 1981 follow-up, Killers, displayed a harder approach to their music than before, and also saw the replacement of Stratton with Adrian Smith.
		The product of Powerslave's 11-month tour was 1985's Live After Death, a double live album that featured all of their biggest hit singles.
		The band toured throughout the early 2000s, releasing the live Rock in Rio and the greatest-hits collection Edward the Great in 2002, followed by a new studio album, Dance of Death, in 2003.
