So what has taken / is taking their place for making a followable and consistent conversation?

Wow - thanks for the suggestions. I listened to some of Vangough's songs and I really like what I hear so far - reminds me a bit of PoS' good times and I really like the singer. As far as the musical prowess discussion, I am really not in the place to judge that because while I play a bit of...

I think this would be a very cool idea! It would make room for more indepth discussions about single songs and parts that just would not fit into other topics without straying from them too far.

While the flames look very cool (even though they remind me a lot of a more Paradise Lost style similar to the fold out cover of that album), I think they get a bit in the way, escpecially when I do not scroll far enough down and try to click buttons down there that are not visually behind the...

Sure, PoS did some nice lyrics and they work even better when performed and integrated into the songs, since they convey a lot of emotion there...But before praising them too much, I guess you have to admit that PoS has done very bad lyrics, too that are a lot more cringeworthy IMHO than...

Since two weeks have passed and I had more time to listen to it, my opinion of the album has changed as I expected :) In My Darkest Hour - this has really improved and clicked on me - now for me the best song on the album - crisp and melodic with a heartwrenching solo. I'd rather call these...

Okay, as many have also done this, I would like to add my intial reaction to Underworld (after two spins, so this will likely change a bit in the future): The best: Without You - this transports a lot of feeling and is just a cool and fun song! The okay ones: Overture + Nevermore (the groove of...

This is exactly how it was intended, since Romeo is also an "album" person :) And as far as I am concerned, I am, too. Only two days left and I have to keep myself listening to more of those samples, since I want to hear the album as one now... :Spin::loco::yow::loco::Spin:

Why not get Iconoclast back and start listening to it, then, to enjoy it as the ride that it is (and IMHO it is a fantastic ride!)?

:loco: That is exactly what he meant! That is probably Romeo singing! That's when wishes come true...you wanted progressive and now you got it :D

You certainly see that the album is shortly before it's release, since there is a load of new reviews out there. Here are some: German review: (8.5/10) - "a bit calculated, but I cannot escape it's charme" http://powermetal.de/review/review-Symphony_X/Underworld,26447.html positive...

Ouch - talk about high expectations now...! I will expect low, still - it's always the better option ;)

For all the "protesters" of the new age this should read that you hear a lot of older stuff even in the modern SX :D

Strange how I also thought of Steven Wilson immediately after reading this :) I'd say that such a thing is highly unlikely as it surely would have been announced.

I think that still with all the smaller and larger changes in their music, Symphony X really stand out from mainstream metal as well as progressive music, because they combine both in a catchy and groovy way that no one else does as good IMHO (not that I enjoy every song, but there are so many...
