When I saw Romeo in the title I thought he had died  This is much better news  So this is why the riffs on Underworld were garbage. He kept them for his solo effort!

Written by JÄY on 01.06.2018 at 18:48 My thoughts exactly. And so many of these riffs sound EXACTLY like the riffs of the past two records...

I have a feeling this album will be a collection of songs that weren't good enough for the last three Symphony X albums.

Written by Metashadow8 on 01.06.2018 at 18:17 I Would not say ruined because the singer is not so bad, but I agree with you for an Instrumental album...

Written by Korah on 03.06.2018 at 21:39 Really? based solely off this song I think it would have been a lot less dynamic if the vocals weren't present. Plus these vocals are great as far as clean metal vocalists go. Don't see how metal fan could dislike it without being a fussy nitpicker.

Quote:Quote:Quote: The singer isn't bad, I agree, but that chorus is bad. The chorus alone makes me not want to listen to the song. How it's sung is so poppy to me and I simply don't like it. I like the rest of the song though.

Written by mariano on 04.06.2018 at 02:19 I wouldn't be surprised if Russell is a little apprehensive about getting back into things since the accident. Going through something like that will fuck you up. I don't think he's really done anything since then, has he?

Decent song, but I liked the visuals better.

Written by Zap on 12.06.2018 at 09:33 Huh? The news about the crash appeared here, on Blabbermouth and even on the website of the public French-speaking Belgian television, RTBF.
