I think the same as you, this album is good, but it isn't as good as most of the band's albums. The rating is low though.

Another great release of SX. After the first 5 songs the album looses a bit of quality its a fact, still the songs are great. I appreciate The Relic and Orion the Hunter, Lady of the Snow isn´t that good.

Ok, not on par with V or Divine wings, but much better than the Odyssey and Paradise Lost IMO.

what are you nuts? this album doesn't come close to how amazing the albums The Odyssey and Paradise Lost are... good album but not that good.

Are YOU nuts? The Odyssey and Paradise Lost represent a significant change in Symphony X sound. They began to play more catchy power metal instead of their signature sound of neoclassic prog. This is due to them playing live, since they didn't before. So they change their sound to what most people like, or simpler, to a catchier sound. That may or may not be bad, but in my opinion, we already have a lot of power metal bands that are MUCH better than Symphony X Odyssey/Paradise Lost, but their older sound is something quite unique, and I'd love to hear it again from a new album of theirs.
I Hope I've expressed my opinion of that comment correctly now.

This is my least favourite SX album (I don't count the debut). A good album nonetheless, but my main concern with it is that it sounds too neo-classical and less power metal while TDWOT managed to sound like both equally at the same time. The songwriting is also slightly less brilliant than on the other albums IMO.

This album is amazing one of my favorites.. I just can't stand people only like songs that are commercial or that only they play so many times live. The interludes in all songs are just out of their minds, I love Thomas miller as their bass player, not as talented as lepond but had more felling and better bass interludes. If they had released Twilight in Olympus the epic song that will later become Rediscovery - The New Mythology would be my second favorite album.

Overall, this review is very accurate.
"In the dragon's den" is my favourite track and I quite like "through the looking glass" as well. I do think they were uninspired on this one and just put out the best songs they could write. I don't know if they felt pressured to live up to their ancestor "The Divine Wings of Tragedy".
It's not a brilliant album indeed but it still has good moments. But I don't think it will be featured in most people's SX favourites album list.
It certainly isn't in my list

This album is one of my favorites as well. The solo in the Relic is better than the entire Paradise Lost album and more.

I agree with the commenters standing by the album. I am close to preferring it to its successor; this is one more dense with original composition.

11 years ago... Actually I really like "Lady of the Snow" aswell.
Classic SX álbum, a real gem.
