This album is the salvation for Symphony X music! After the ugly eponymous album Symphony X, the guys from New Jersey created a good album that would define their musical style for many years. From the first song to the last, The Damnation Game sounds really interesting. With a new singer, Russell Allen, and on the basis of their first album, Symphony X manages to produce something different on the musical scene.

I miss it when Allen's voice was soulful and brooding, like in The Edge of Forever and A Winter's Dream. I haven't heard that quality since Lady of the Snow. This album is a nice mix of such tracks and heavy hitters like Dressed to Kill and The Damnation Game. Very solid.

I miss those days when Symphony X actually had beautiful melodies and a lot of emotions in the songwriting. "The Edge of Forever" and "A Winter's Dream" are two of their best tracks and the rest is also fine stuff.

Underrated masterpiece. All the songs are a hit on this album. Only downside is a weaker production compared to the following albums. But songwriting is flawless
