Hopefully I'll be seeing these guys for the second time this summer.  What do you think of the band?  I think they're virtually unparalleled as far as musicianship and composition go.  Michael Romeo is a god.

What's your favorite Symphony X album?  Mine is easily V, with Divine Wings of Tragedy falling in behind.

To be completely honest I don't listen to them all that much.  I have 2 albums, V and The Odyssey, but neither get a whole lot of play time.  I always say I will give them a better listen but I never get around to it.  Maybe someday.

BLASPHEMY!  You really should give them a chance.  I know how much you like Suspyre, and SymX would be right up your alley.  V is definitely better than The Odyssey, but they're both good.

The Odyssey is one of the best songs I've ever heard, so I would say that The Odyssey > Everything else from them

By the way, this thread should be moved to the progressive forum. This band has very little power metal in their sound

What you used to love now, you're gonna adore. With Charmin Ultra, less is more. Cha Cha Cha, Charmin.

I beg to differ...in my opinion, nothing beats Divine Wings (the song).  And I also happen to think there's quite a bit of power metal in their sound.  So na na na boo boo!

The Odyssey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Divine Wings

They do have some power elements, but it's still prog for the most part. Like 5 parts prog, 1 part power. Like a progressive metal martini, which coincidentially, is the perfect drink to enjoy while listening to Symphony X
