Underworld, Without You and Charon. My preferences changed over time, what can I say. About the Swansong vrs. Without you "dilemma", I must say that Swansong feels too forced trying to imply some references to Accolade II and Through the Looking Glass, but is fairly inferior to both. Without...

I really don't care about Circus Maximus, but everything you said about SX its true, despite Underworld is not a bad album at all.

I´m preety sure I´ve heard some of this b1tching when IC came out. I´m okay with him soloing, he has been one of the best guitar players out there, specially in the metal/metal progressive scene, so it would be odd to listen him on a song without a solo. I won´t say a word about his solos...

Legend, Swansong and Underworld wouldn´t be the same songs without keyboards, so I think they have an important role on those songs. But Pinella is not totally present on this new album, he is not back on the role he used to have, to show the skilled musician he is, at least on SX . Ascension...

Hmmm, I see your point. It´s actually a bad comparison, my mistake, because I brought to discussion an album made entirely with keyboard patches, composed by a keyboardist. Superb album, by the way. Not even Haken or another bands with two keyboards are that "saturated" of keys lines all the...

Thanks man. Thats interesting indeed, and makes sense, Underworld, Swansong and Legend are the songs with more (elaborated) keyboards.

Really? Did you find the writing credits?

I´m getting ready for my third listening to it. I think it was refreshing in some ways, I remember being disappointed after the first listening to PL and IC, but this was not the case; I´m anxious to give it play to discover more and more nuances that yesterday were missing. It´s quite...

In this page you can actually change the region of the song you want to hear... :muahaha:

I will stand with you about these. I think we are overestimating their capabilites. Not because they can´t write stuff like that anymore, it´s just because they are not in the best situation to, so they capacities to attract some of us are "naturally" diminished. They were young, all was...

I'm glad we understand each other, as you see there are some of us who are expecting something on this new SX that should be seek on another bands or even genres, but that doesn't mean everyone should seek the same thing, even on them. This album promises variety (PL and IC weren't diverse...

No, this is not about tapping neoclassic shit or long duration of the songs. I think prog is about evolving, but i´m not talking about the band´s evolution, i´m talking about the genre´s evolution, in its own obvious complexity. Symphony X could be doing now some great stuff but still, as a...

You should understand, after liking and living songs like "The Edge of Forever", "Through the Looking Glass", "Communion and the Oracle" or "Awakenings" (and i´m only mentioning my favorites), what would you expect? I liked "Without you". But I miss complexity and "prog" so much in their...

The word "prog" was never included in the review. It screams "All who enter here abandon hope". http://www.screammagazine.com/scream2014/anmeldelser/plateanmeldelser/item/404-symphony-x-underworld

It sounds to me more like "Without you" could be on the vein of "When All is Lost" but I really hope you're right.
