LOL. I just caught that as well. Although, I would probably prefer to hear Sins and Shadows twice in a set than hear Smoke and Mirrors or Dehumanized I think. I've never been a big fan of TiO, specifically Smoke and Mirrors. I'd love to see them throw Egypt in the mix again. When I...

That made me lol. ;)

True statement.

Yes, I do believe it is a fact that both Odyssey and V are better than this album as I said. Nobody will debate that, as V is this band's defining record per countless polls and opinions throughout these forums. The only people who would say otherwise are those who are just now getting into...

Understand, that a majority of us here who have been with the band and forums since Odyssey and prior have an expectation of this band that has not been met yet. Yes, the songs you named off are good songs, but a far far cry from THE BEST. This band was formed on progressive and symphonic...

I can't comment man. I'm a vocalist, not a guitar player. But to me all the solos sound very much alike. Maybe I just have a terrible ear for runs. I honestly with Romeo would sometimes just play some slowed down, bluesy-ass solos with some soul every now and again. All the tapping and runs...

Good review and comments. I can agree and disagree with a lot of the stuff said about this album - I think everyone has made solid points. My thing is the mainstream and comparisons to Avenged Sevenfold that keep being made. If you compare Avenged to every other band that is either on the...

Dude. Charon is one of the best, if not the best on the album. That Egypt vibe is all over it. Comparing the two is impossible but shit it kicks ass. Legends also...great track. I'm a fan of this album thus far. 2 listens in and I'm ranking it around Odyssey / Paradise Lost quality, maybe...

Dude when I heard this line I almost spit my drink on my computer screen. Pretty bad - hahaha.

I think the only track after my first listen that I would not listen to again immediately is Run With The Devil. I heard nothing in the song worthy of praise compared to the rest of the album. Overture (it counts), Charon, Underworld, Swansong, and Legend are my standout tracks...

True statement. I recently have gotten into a few new (to me) bands such as Porcupine Tree, Ghost (Who I'm really enjoying), newer Opeth, Joe Bonamassa. It's quite refreshing listening to different genres and artists. Ghost alone, I mean for what those guys are doing, it's very entertaining...

I think Eyeballkid had a good word for it. Other bands fail to hit that "magic" mark that infects so many fans and creates that atmosphere that so many songs prior to this one have done. I saw a Youtube comment that made sense which said: "This is gorgeous , non that complex lyrics or melody...

I think for me, it's not the song that is actually progressive in form that I am referring to. To me, this song hits a sweet spot that I think will benefit and suit the band well that they have not done to this level just yet. Writing a more simplistic, possibly radio friendly song IMHO is...

Yeah man. It's pretty amazing that a band that has been known to sort of change their style for the worst with the last two albums according to fans, have turned around and put something like this out. My thing is, who gives a flying **** if the song seems "radio friendly". This is the...

To begin, my wife hates Symphony X. She listens to pop hits and says I have overplayed Symphony X to the point where she knows when it's them being played and says it sounds like "magic show music". Hah. Regardless, I learned to listen to my favorite band with headphones and on my own...
