Yeah, Russell Allen's vocals are insanely good. I really enjoyed Paradise Lost even though I was slow on picking it up. A friend of mine badgered me until I did, though. I guess I should thank her lol.

Written by [user id=31901] on 21.11.2008 at 08:11 Oddly enough i hadn't heard of Symphony X at all until Paradise Lost. After giving it a listen i checked them out, and they are now my favourite Prog band. Divine wings of tragedy, and the odyssey are both amazing cds, and Paradise Lost was rightfully voted top by this website.

Written by [user id=2084] on 27.11.2008 at 02:52 Im the same. To be honest, i dont really think it meets the hype? Is it because ive heard them for too long now? Not sure. Its so boring to me, even though the music isnt bad, i know its good, but not.... grabbing.

Paradise Lost was the first Symphony X album I ever heard, so maybe that is why I like it so much. I really love the vocals on that album. Also, a couple songs from the album resonated with me b/c they related to characters I was creating.

Been on a little more now since uni is over for this year. I remember weve had some good discussions in the past  I havent really listened to it other than maybe 3 times i played it when i first got it.

Written by [user id=2084] on 09.12.2008 at 01:28 I bought it when it came out, listened to it twice and put it away. Honestly I find Symphony X really boring. Sure they may all be great musicians, but every song sounds the same to me, well at least most of the songs.

Written by [user id=2084] on 12.12.2008 at 19:52 Maybe! This past week I have been really trying to get into Symphony X, and I just can't. I love Allen's voice, and it seems everything else he does I am really fond of. His albums with Jorn are so much fun, his solo alum Atomic Soul is great Blues/Hard Rock, and his work with Arjen is really great. I really wish I could like SX, I just can't.

Written by Dane Train on 17.12.2008 at 06:58 Thats fine, no band connects with everyone. What matters is that you tried something and gave it an honest effort though, which is worth respect. If only more people had that attitude about music...

I just got Paradise Lost and I love it. It's such a great album. Can definitly see why it won out for best Progressive Metal album in 2007.

I need to pick up odyssey. but i loved paradise lost and its aggressive heavy-ness. keep in mind, the only other album of SX i have is 'V'. so comparing V to paradise lost, i loved every bit of it. V is a great album and i loved how beautiful and fragile sounding some of the songs are. and paradise lost on the other hand is just aggressive and impactful(atleast in my opinion). and apparently odyssey is more heavy than progressive, which i tend to like. but i just cant find that damn album anywhere. of if i do, it tends to be twice the price of normal cds...whats up with that?! and no, i dont support burning cds at all...

I've been listening to a LOT of this band lately, and this week I thought I might toss some of it on during my art lab class, just to see if anyone else would like it. I thought I could start with a few songs from Divine Wings of Tragedy, so I put on Of Sins and Shadows...and the first word that comes from someone's mouth is 'Dragonforce'... I have lost all faith in the world.

I love this band. It's so great, so epic. I've been listening a lot of them lately, especially their newest album (Paradise Lost) which i find as the best one. I have also been practising their songs on guitar  But that's not the point, the thing i wanted to discuss about: has there been any talk about SX DVD? Now would be the perfect time to release a great live DVD. I don't understand why they haven't already.... That would be so great.

Written by bard on 17.02.2009 at 22:36 I know EXACTLY how you feel. I listen to metal all day at work, and one of my coworkers insists that Hansi, Russell Allen, and Kai Hansen sound the same. I know hes probably just trying to be an ass (which would be perfectly in character for him), but its still annoying.

... really! Symphony X are a great band, their songs are amazing, but face they with Dream Theater... it's too hard to deicide: Dream Theater also it's too good. But I prefer Symphony X

I think V and Twilight in Olympus are my favs, Divine Wings of Tragedy is next then Oddyssey. I still cant get into Paradise Lost, Oddyssey has song good songs, but yeh... Their early stuff can be ok, but not as tight as the others.
