Ripper is awesome and Malmsteen is great, at least Rising Force, but I'm not sure how they'll do together. The thing is Malmsteen still writes the music and from what I've heard his recent stuff is quite boring.

I like their playing in general and the so called "instrumental wanking" is just cool stuff as I hear it. I thought it was pretty cool when Rudess started playing that hand-held synth actually, although I like it better when he plays piano-style, like the keyboard solo on "Live Scenes from New...

What an awesome concert it was last night in Stockholm! I missed some of the SymX songs but I heard the ending of Serpent's Kiss and the rest of their set. As someone mentioned the guitar was difficult to hear but holy shit they rocked so hard. Russell Allen has to be the best vocalist to ever...

I've never really been into music videos because you get a headache from the camera-changes every second of the song but I still understand that it makes it work better as a music video. It feels more intense and all. I hope they don't mess with their upcoming (right?:)) live dvd because that...

At first I was a bit skeptical about the new album, then I thought it was one of their best if not the best... now I truly believe it's right under V and Divine Wings which makes it the third best Symphony X album, and obviously one of the best metal album's ever created too of course. :heh...

Where, if I may ask, did you find the "Tool" in TSK? :err: It's more like... I don't know.. something that kicks tool's ass.

The Walls of Babylon is great but the best song is Revelation. The coolest riffs and the best singing on the album. It's funny because I thought Revelation was one of the weaker tracks after the first 3 spins.

I haven't found any bonus track on the album... =/

Russell Allen, and probably the rest of the band, has the coolest goddamn attitude ever. It's great that these guys are as far from the rock-star stereotype as you could imagine when they kick almost every other bands' asses. On and off stage. :heh:

I got mine today too and I ordered from CDON. Really awesome album. IMO it's just as good as The Odyssey if not better. Revelation is the best song.. incredible song writing! Everything is perfect about the album, really. I'm looking forward to seeing the guys live. =) I actually thought...

The documentary is hilarious. Labrie is a funny guy! :) Last line of the album "I do not fiiiight for youuuu! Motherfucker!" I really love the new album btw..

The Battle is an awesome heavy metal album. Every song is great, the vocals are incredible, the solo's are great and the lyrics fit the music. The Revenge is more of the same thing but personally I think The Battle has more songs that stick in your mind.

Hmm.. I should've guessed. Anyway, as long as they keep the same 'kind' of tracks I'll be happy. Wait - I'm happy whatever they play. :)

Do you think they'll keep the same setlist for their tour with Dream Theater in Europe? Anyway that setlist looks so sick, they play every rocker they've got with a nice calm part in the middle. :) "The Odyssey" is the perfect way to end a live-show. I can't understand why people would like...

It's a bit like the song Metropolis Pt.1 and the album Metropolis Pt.2... except that Metropolis Pt.2 had a very strict story throughout the whole album.
