What's all the fuss about?.......2005-07-15

People here are giving this album and other Blaze albums 4 and five star ratings saying that they are great, better than Maiden or recent Maiden, and that he is a genious and very talented. Well I have to disagree on all fronts. First off this doesn't compare to Maiden at all nor is Blaze displaying any more talent here than on his albums with Maiden. I actually never thought he was that bad, he has a good voice, and he is not bad of a singer, but definitely not in the top 20, let alone comparable to Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson. Hell, Maiden's first singer Paul Di'Anno is better than blaze. As far as the music goes, it's good but not great and doesn't really capture one's attention very much. So, I don't recommend this or any of the Blaze albums to someone who could pick up something they know they'd like, but if your more than a little curious to how it sounds and can't think of anything else to buy go ahead and get it. It's better than most of the newer rock/metal bands.

One of my favorite recent metal albums..........2004-12-23

I am going to assume most of the reviewers who are going to be reading this are like me. You are probably a huge Iron Maiden fan who got curious as to where Blaze went after getting kicked out of Iron Maiden. You are probably wondering what to expect, since his work with Iron Maiden is certainly not great. I approached this album with a lot of skepticism.

Let's get one thing VERY clear before the real review even starts, this is NOTHING like Iron Maiden at all. Blaze sounds much "newer" and would probably fall into the "Power" metal category. If you aren't too interested in metals "newer" sound then you better stear clear of this album, but if you are open to new styles, I really recommend you give it a chance. And don't worry, the rest of the band is very talented, and has a really unique sound in my opinion. I can't think of another band that sounds very much like this at all. Did I mention this is one of the darkest(non-death), emotional heavy metal albums I've heard? It has everything you want, catchy melodies, sing-a-long choruses, emotion by the bucketful, and most important lasting quality(repeated listenings.)

Comparing this to Silicon Messiah, Blaze's first solo album, this one far surpasses it in every category. The Tenth Dimension has to be considered a concept album, even though there are short pauses between most of the tracks. Silicon Messiah definantly had a lot of HIGH points, but it sounded like a band that was still searching for the right combinations at times.

Since I got this album about 6 months ago, it has spent a WHOLE lot of time in my disc rotation. Tenth Dimension has a lot of variation in it. It has fast chorus-based hard-rockers like Kill and Destroy, Leap of Faith, and Speed of Light. A little over halfway through things slow down with the short The Truth Revealed and Meant To Be, which are packed with emotion. Then there are a couple more epic like songs: The Tenth Dimension and Stranger to the Light. These tend to have both very heavy and soft moments. If I had to pick my favorite tracks on the album I would have to say they would be: End Dream, The Tenth Dimension, Meant To Be, and Stranger to the Light. Before buying this album, I highly recommend listening to Amazon's samples, if you like those, you will probably like the album.

I'll talk to my fellow Iron Maiden buddies about Blaze's voice some more. This is all my opinion of course. Most of us agree that Blaze was a flop for Iron Maiden, and for a while I figured he had no talent whatsoever. I've since then came to my senses and realized Iron Maiden has the "wrong sound" for a vocalist like Blaze. Blaze doesn't have the power or the range Dickinson does, but he is much better in the darker more emotional categories. I think just like Blaze failed when put in a Bruce role, Bruce would fail if he was put in a Blaze role.

If you like this album, you will like any of Blaze's solo albums :). For more info on Blaze try www.planetblaze.com...Long live Blaze...

Silicon Messiah II?.......2004-10-15

(3.5 Stars) I gave this release EVERY chance to blow me away. After reading all of the prior reviews, I was expecting an aural metal masterpiece to come jumping out at me. I LOVE the first Blaze solo release, "Silicon Messiah," and was expecting the next level of music from Blaze. The music and writing are on par with the last release, but I sensed something lacking in the execution; the sound was a very generic sound metal album. Blaze's voice never seemed to leave a single octave...kind of like a sing/song pattern. The guitar rhythms are strong and forceful, but the riffs and soloing almost seemed formulaic. I can accept the music if this is what Blaze is about, because it is definitely not bad, in fact it is good. I was just expecting more. This album is definitely better than the newest Iron Maiden release, and I am just thankful we have the music. Tenth Dimension is a necessary addition to any diehard metal fan. I will obtain the newest release, "Blood & Belief" without expectations for greatness, and just be happy we have some old school METAL in 2004!

One of the best cds ever.......2004-06-19

This is an amazing CD, definately in my top 3 cds of all time. If you are a fan of metal, whether you hated or loved blaze in Maiden, go out ang get it now, its so great not a weak track. and I think its better than Silicon Messiah and bruce's chemical wedding.

It gets more than 5 stars...............2003-10-11

There are no possible words to describe the cleanliness of Tenth Dimension. It shows the best singer ever at his best and his band of musicians of the highest class performing what metal lovers expect to hear when getting a CD.
Thanks Blaze for this incredible gift.

Pure Metal Candy.......2006-04-11

Blaze has the most dramatic voice in all of metaldom. And although he has a limited range, he fully exploits what he has. This album isn't as dark and moody as Silicone Messiah, but it is also a concept album. My favorite tracks are End Dream because of the pounding drums and vocal explosions (I don't what else to call them), Nothing Will Stop Me because of the haunting vocal progressions and multiple punches, and, of course, the dramatic ballad "Meant to Be" Which is an impressive display of Bayley's vocal artistry. The album closer "Stranger to the Light" is also a metal epic.

The Tenth Dimension is meant to be.......2004-10-20

Tenth Dimension is Blaze's second album. The Tenth Dimension can be seen as a band-release and not a solo-release. Although Blaze is not the best vocalist around, he and the other band-members know how to write excellent songs. Fortunately Blaze only sings in his vocal range and he has also written excellent lyrics (it is a concept album) and vocal melodies. On this album Blaze delivers his best vocal efforts by far.

I would describe the Tenth Dimension as a classic Heavy Metal album without al the clichés of the genre. I really like the heavy guitars and pounding drums. The overall production is also well done. There is a dark mood on the album and therefore the mood can be best compared with Iron Maiden's album X-Factor. Although the album is varied, the songs are mostly mid-tempo. One of the most interesting songs is the song "Meant To Be." It is a slow epic song with some female operatic vocals. There are also some fast and energetic songs like "Leap Of Faith" and "Speed Of Light". Although I am not very fond of new Traditional Metal releases, I really like the Tenth Dimension.

I really recommend you to purchase the limited edition. It features a bonus disk with one unreleased track, 4 live tracks, 2 mp3 tracks from Blaze's first album Silicon Messiah, a video clip from the song "Ghost In The Machine" and the making of the Tenth Dimension.

Even if you disliked Blaze Bayley during his Iron Maiden period try the Tenth Dimension, you probably like it.

Finally Mr. Bayley found a second home (next to Wolfsbane).......2002-11-01

I will be the first one to say his stint with Maiden didn't really capture the expectation because of his vocal range. His vocal delivery didn't match up with the band. Maiden is perfect with a tenor singer (enter the human Air Raid Siren, Bruce Dickinson).

Blaze's voice is somewhat unique among metal singers. He has a dark baritone voice that can complement his new band. I love his work on the Tenth Dimension. I'm an opera trained singer, and I know Blaze's voice packs a lot of punch, and raw power. It comes from his diaphram, as opposed to some rock singers who sing through thier throat and lungs.If he can just expand his dynamics, he can be a one ferocious singer. I've heard a lot of metal singers these days that tries to sing like a tenor, but a weak one. Just clean singing voice, no power, nothing else.

Overall, the album is one helluva of an effort. Kudos to Blaze Bayley

Excellent follow to Silicon Messiah, a powerhouse!.......2002-05-12

At first listen I thought the album was not as good as Blaze's powerful first album "Silicon Messiah" but after a few listens I am addicted! This album has a lot to offer; musically it is similar to Messiah but has a theme all its own. A good selection of hard-hitting fast tracks as well as melodic slower pieces that work well together to produce a solid album.

Blaze Rocks!.......2002-02-27

Blaze is back with a vengeance. I can tell this album
will need several more listenings until it sinks in
similar to "messiah". "Dimension" is a little deeper
and shows off Blaze's range. My early favorites are
strangers, meant to be, and tenth dimension. I was
disappointed in the bonus track on cd2, it is not the
best. Rock on blaze! Can't wait til album 3. And one
final note: X-Factor with Iron Maiden was UNDERRATED!
Even though Virtual XI fell short.
