This Issue! Things Get Worse! Wrap Up Time
If you ask most crazy super-comic book nerds (i.e. 45 year old virgins who live in their parent’s basements eating too many cheetos), this is the single best era of X-Men, ever. Luckily for me, and you fine people, I am not that crazy or that much of a comic book nerd. This volume of the X-Men has some excellent issues, and certainly some very emotional ones. But I’d hate to say that this was the absolute best, no matter what. Especially since I have a lot of Claremont’s run left to read.
Still, it’s been a good ride. About the only thing that would make it better is Magneto(!), and of course, if we had simply avoided Arcade. But whatever. Countdown time!

Good times for all. But when will Cyclops resolve his issues with the X-Men? What’s the Hellfire Club up to with Senator Kelly? Strange things are a-happening with the X-Men, when we have are next Essential X-Men Volume!

Nice reviews, I'd agree with you about the fact that this era doesn't exactly exemplify what the general conception of the X-Men is. There's very little human/mutant prejudice at issue and it's a lot more cosmic than you might expect. I like the Byrne era stuff, but it's by no means the best era of X-Men. That's still to come for you, though the next chunk of issues is a bit off.
And, you may have seen these linked off Barbelith, but here's all the reviews I did when I read through the Claremont run.
Keep reviewing, and maybe post each issue as you read it next time to spread out the goodness.
I suppose I could spread out some of them from the next volume, since you asked so nicely.
And yep, I read all of your reviews (have I mentioned my large amount of free time at work recently?) which helped inspire this little project of mine. So huzzah and such!
