The Problem with the X-Factor?

It's one of Harris' favourite Maiden albums, and I agree with him. It's so immersive, and sophisticated in its metal minimalism. The production is so special, direct and raw but clean in a sense, very airy. Blaze nails it, every word. He was perfect for this record, a precise channeller of Harris' mood during those times.
 
To the original poster, with all due respect, I'll say that the reason why X Factor is my 3rd least favorite IM album (after No Prayer and Fear of the Dark) is because it's just too freaking depressing.
Seriously, it bums me out. And the further you go, the darker it gets.
And my favorite song on the album, Judgement of Heaven, which I love musically, is about suicide.
Although I'm 100% on board with you about Somewhere in Time which for my tastes is their glorious masterpiece.
p.s. I'm not anti-Blaze. Virtual is Top 10 IM for me.
