The X Factor is the tenth studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 2 October 1995 through EMI. It is the band’s first album to include Blaze Bayley, formerly of Wolfsbane, as vocalist, replacing Bruce Dickinson who left the band following their previous tour to pursue a solo career. It is considered Iron Maiden’s darkest album due to the lyrics being based on personal issues surrounding Steve Harris at the time, who was in the midst of a divorce, and the album cover, which depicts the band’s mascot, Eddie, being graphically mutilated through surgery.Suffering from a lack of powerful riffs and tightly written songs, The X Factor is a lackluster latter-day album from Iron Maiden. Although the band doesn’t sound particularly bad on the record, they don’t sound inspired and there’s a noticeable lack of energy to the performances which makes the lack of imagination all the more apparent. There’s a few cuts that almost deliver the goods, but it’s not enough to raise The X Factor above the merely adequate. –Stephen Thomas Erlewine
