Iron Maiden's eleventh record, aptly titled VIRTUAL XI, is a wonderful addition to the band's legacy. Refusing to sell out and go "alternative" or "electronic," the group sticks to what it knows; heavy metal epics focusing on world peace, paranoia and technology. This is the second release with vocalist Blaze Bayley who adds his own powerful element to the Maiden mix. His voice is deeper and more brooding than his predecessor Bruce Dickinson, but just as effective.

The technical virtuosity and the unfettered production (by bassist Steve Harris and Nigel Green) of classic Maiden are still solidly in place. Some keyboards are used for ambience, but this is mostly speed and power ala vintage Maiden. The songs are on the long side, with "The Angel And The Gambler" clocking in at over 9 minutes. All in all, fans of the band, or of heavy rock in general, will be satisfied, as all the traditional ingredients that make this a great band are evident in VIRTUAL XI.

This Limited version features vinyl replica packaging.

2 stars Could've been great
The songs on this album are great. If Dickenson was the vocalist on this album, it might have gotten 4 or 5 stars. Unfortunately, Blaze's flat, boring vocals practically ruin it.

4 stars Needed a bit more
Apart from Angel and the Gambler most of the songs have greatness in them but need a few adjustments here and there.Best examples are Lightning Strikes Twice and Don't Look to which start off sounding like the next Iron Maiden Classic but don't maintain that promise.Some great tracks though and Como Estais Amigos is a great farewell song for Blaze.

5 stars A Great CD from Iron Maiden!
This CD in my opinion better than "The X Factor". Though I will say Futureal, and Don't Look into the Eyes of a Stranger was somewhat disappointing, but still enjoyable to listen to. But In The Angel and the Gambler with the "Don't you Think I'm a savior, Don't you think i can save you? Don't you think I can save your life?" repeated over 22 TIMES i was getting anoyed by that! But with the good songs. When 2 Worlds Collide and The Educated Fool were ok songs about 3-4 stars for those songs. Now "Como Estais Amigos" is one of Virtual XI's songs that Blaze sang beautifully and I was not annoyed, angry, or confused about this song 5+. Now "Lightning Stikes Twice" is yet another song Blaze sang with perfection during the soft yet heavy opening through the fast, metal chorus to the end, "lightning strikes twice" is probley my favorite song on the album or even my favorite song from Maiden. Now for "The Clansman" is my second favorite on the album. The guitar and bass at the beginning is mind blowing and Blaze shouting FREEDOM! is just the best,and though it's 9 minutes+, it should have been a single, i would have bought it. Now the whole Album I give 5 Stars! Highly Recommended!
