It is another of the few up tempo songs on the album and although the guitar solos are quite short and the song itself is not quite as deep as some of the other material on the album it 39 s a really good little rocker from a musical point of view.It was the first single the band released with Blaze Bayley on vocals.Away from the jungle of 39 Lord Of The Flies 39 and 39 The Edge Of Darkness 39 we are taken here to the urban jungle of a vast megapole namely Los Angeles but any other gigantic city in any industrialised country could have been the scene of such action. Like in the aforementioned songs/stories the main character 39 s sense of self fades away after he 39 s reached his breaking point in his particular case after losing both his job and family and he finally loses control Each step gets closer to losing his head. The song 39 s theme is somehow similar to that of 39 Age Of Innocence 39 and highlights the flaws of an ungrateful modern society that does not look after its citizens may it be through the lack of care for the unemployed who are made redundant or the lack of proper law enforcement against criminals 39 Cause nothing is fair just you look around. 39 The X Factor 39 is the tenth studio album by Iron Maiden released in 1995. It is the band 39 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.The album title came about in the early part of the recording. According to producer Nigel Green: We all felt that the way things were progressing the songs Blaze 39 s new involvement the sound the commitment the new album really would have that extra quality that bit of magic that X Factor. This became the working title for the album and we liked it so we kept it. It is also very apt as this is our tenth studio album and X can bring up many images.Supporting the album was the X Factour tour. Much like the tour for their following album Virtual XI it was cut short after Blaze suffered a violent allergic reaction to certain elements used on the stages where the band performed.This is the second album Piece of Mind being the first that did not have a title track on it as well as the first album to not feature the album title in any of the song lyrics.
