To these we've never heard Symphony X before, listen to this album and you will be a fan... V: The New Mythology Suite is the best of what creativity could bring to standard metal. Loud guitars, clean keyboards, perfect bass lines, permanent technique drums and excellent vocals, what do you want more? Michael Romeo and Michael Pinnella are used to play together and their music sounds as one. V is a wonderful melting pot of angry riffs and angelic melodies where vocals appear as heavenly prophecies. The theme of the album is a little obscure but it seems to be one of those themes about life, destruction and religion, you know, something very spiritual. Nevertheless, you don't have to understand the lyrics to appreciate Symphony X music because it's so good!

It's one of the best performances by Russell Allen. Take Fallen, Fool's Paradise or Egypt. I hated the vocals on Paradise Lost a lot. Unless u like growling then i see no reason why anyone would think the vocals are bad on V...

Russell Allen sings very well, and has a voice that fits perfectly into Symphony X's music. There's nothing to dislike here. Unless you want growling, which in this band's case would be a ridiculous addition.

Well, the most symphonic and neoclassical (and maybe instrumental) disc from them, and also i would say that they experimented quite with their sound in that time with this record (at least to my ears this album sounds a little experimental comparing it with the rest), previous to the last three masterpieces that were to come. In this album there are awesome songs, really great songs, but on the other hand i find a little more weak the middle of the album (tracks 6,7,8,9) a similar thing that happens to me with the album 'The Divine Wings Of Tragedy' (tracks 5, 6, 7), but in general the record is quite solid.
Highlights:
02. Evolution (The Grand Design)
03. Fallen
05. Communion And The Oracle
11. A Fool's Paradise
