It’s definitely an emotional song, especially for Steve, but it’s not as good as other tracks on the album, despite being more played. Admittedly, it’s great for crowd participation live though. 8/10

Up until the first chorus it’s absolutely perfect. However, I think the chorus really brings the song down, with its repetitiveness. It’s still a very good song, but it could have been so much better. 8/10

Incredible song. The intro is as good as it gets, and the song develops very well. Both verses and chorus are thoughtful and very well executed. Great songwriting that had a bit vanished during the Blaze era. 10/10

Back to the best Maiden. Very energetic and catchy track, and we finally get Bruce on the vocals again doing the business. A strong 9

Iron Maiden: classic Killers: bloody The Number of the Beast: Bruce Piece of Mind: epic Powerslave: divine Somewhere in Time: future Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: symbology No Prayer for the Dying: rock Fear of the Dark: long The X Factor: sad Virtual XI: average Brave New World: return Dance of...

A song that would have been very appropriate for The X Factor, I think, given the somewhat darker tone. It is definitely quite emotional, and somewhat enjoyable, but I wouldn’t call it an amazing song. 6/10

I don’t find this song to be enjoyable at all. Lyrics are very basic, Blaze’s singing is average, repetition becomes a problem once again and there’s a long buildup that ultimately leads nowhere. Probably the worst song of the Blaze era. I can’t give it more than a 4

Verses and instrumental part are pretty nice, but the chorus isn’t. I feel a 6/10 once again

Blaze does a pretty decent job on this one too. Like most songs on this album though, while holding your attention, it becomes progressively less interesting. A 6 is enough

The only real saving grace of this album. If The Clansman never existed, Virtual XI would be a completely average album, definitely not worthy of putting out, especially for a band like the Maiden we all know and love. Don’t ge me wrong, there are some good moments on other tracks too, but this...

The intro and first part of the song are nice, but I don’t like the chorus at all, and the guitar becomes too repetitive towards the end. 5/10

Probably their most maligned song, and, well, it’s not that hard to see why, considering how extreme the repetiton is. However,I think it’s still an alright song, which can be both annoying and very entertaining. I’d give it a 6.

Decent opener, very energetic at least. I don’t miss it live though. 7/10

Some nice ideas, but probably too much repetition, and the song drags on for too long without any real reason to do so. 5/10

I like the theme, and the song altogether is alright, but I still feel like it could provide a bit more on certain aspects like the lyrics. 6/10

I kinda like the faster part, but the rest of the song is just so boring. 5/10

The bass intro is a fresh change, but I can’t say I love it all that much. The rest of the song is alright, and a bit more catchy than others on this album. 7/10

A few cool things going on. The lyrics are quite thoughtful and interesting, and both guitars and vocals are alright. 7/10

A song that never takes off. I’m not a fan of the chorus or Blaze on this song in general. 5/10 for me

The intro is too similar to the previous song, and it’s not enjoyable at all. The rest of the song is decent, and quite catchy. 6/10
