Second chance mind change

imho the newest Suffocation is easily their worst. all of the others are fantastic.

I kinda liked the new one. Much better than the last full-length or EP, in my opinion. I think, with Suffocation, the odd-numbered records are the best (not counting the two EP's):

Effigy Of The Forgotten
Pierced From Within
Suffocation

But that's just my personal taste...

Iron Maiden - The X Factor

I'm
still kinda on the fence about this one. When it first came out, I
hated, Hated, HATED it with a passion, I traded it away after only
owning it for a couple of weeks. But I recently re-purchased it (having
a hole in my otherwise complete Maiden discography bugged me) and it's
not nearly as bad as I remembered. Still not a GREAT Maiden album in my
book, but better than I thought back when it was current.

I hated it too, but I've since grown to appreciate it. Still not my
favorite Maiden disc, but I like the dark feel it has. No other Maiden
disc has that same vibe.

Supposedly Harris was going through a very ugly divorce during the X FACTOR period, and that combined with the falling out with Bruce, obviously colored the writing for that album. The band went thru a very rough couple of years there!
I'm listening to X FACTOR right now ... great soloing but other than "Lord of the Flies," "Man on the Edge" and "Blood on the World's Hands," I still find this one pretty boring. As I said previously, it is better than I thought when I first heard it back in '95, but I'd have to say that it still ranks at the bottom of the Maiden pile. I like VIRTUAL XI better than this one.

I like the s/t Suffocation disc a lot more than "Souls to Deny".

Suffocation has never released a bad album to me.

I agree.
