 Post subject: Has anybody here ever listened to this band?
PostPosted: Sat Jan 07, 2006 2:54 pm 
Has anybody here ever listened to the band X Factor X? This album description struck me as sounding kind of desperate so I have them a listen. Overall, not too shabby save for the horrible production. It's standard Power Metal with some prog influences.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000 ... nce&n=5174 - The Amazon review with that aforementioned album description.

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Ba ... ctorX.html - Their website.

And no, I don't know why I'm posting this in the Thrash/Death/Black forum.

Not bad. The vocals are kind of, meh, but still not bad.











Yeah, why did you post this here.

Cool! This was one of my longest-time-being-on-my-wantlist bands/CDs! I think it was there for like, umm... 5 years?! And then I finally got it just last year!! :D :D (though, as usual, I still haven't listened to it...)

But I would never call it "standard Power Metal with some prog influences" :?
From the samples I've heard: I can't see nothing wrong with the vocalist? :?

At the time when this came out (-97 already!!?) I thought it was very original. And now, I just listened/browsed to the songs on their page: they still do. I mean, there isn't really any other band that sounds like 'em. Glad to also notice that they haven't lost/changed their style from the debut :)

(PS. Back in the day they used to have clips from songs like Scream and Kingdom which haunted my minds for years in their catchiness :P ...Uh, gotta review this one in the coming month(s))
