Customer Reviews

Symphony X return with another epic album
Symphony X are back. Again they have written an album based on Greek Mythology. This time see the story of Odeseus and the voyages of the oddessy.
This is by far the best album yet and displays a harder edge than previous releases right from the word go from Micheal Romeo's Guitaring to the soaring and gravelley vocals of Russell Allen. Despite the harder edge to this opus Symphony X can still mix fast & heavy metal with melody. Add to this Amazing Drum & Bass lines and impeccable keyborad playing, this is a superb piece of Progressive Metal which i would recommend to any Prog Rock/Metal fans (especially fans of groups such as Dream Theater, Italian rock group Rhapsody & finnish rock gods Stratovarius.
The concept album is alive and kicking so long as groups such as Symphony X release epic's of such quality and musicianship.

Godlike
Symphonyx are one of those lesser known bands who are the best you will ever hear. I have no idea why they aren't bigger, they are truly the best band i have ever listened too. Everything they have ever done is incredible.

The guitar work makes me delirious and all the other musians are on a parr, there is always something new to take away from their music. I can't find within myself enough adjectives to use about them so i will put it like this:

They ARE fanstastic.
They ARE great live.
They make GREAT tracks.
This album IS one of the best EVER.

That is all.

Ten out of five
If I could give this 10/5 I would, in order to balance up the reviewer that slated the album with only one star. Symphony X are superbly talented musicians and while they won't compete with the sort of commercial vulgar dross be it metal, pop or whatever you see on MTV, these guys can really play and present a decent side of metal that is sadly overlooked these days.
The keyboards work so well with the crunching guitar riffs and the lightning solos are excellent, as are the vocals (a proper 'singer', would you believe!) and the same for the bass and drums - all round talent comes shining through.
