    UNDERWORLD discussion thread

    Very, very short review: this album is a letdown. I mean from the beginning to the end of Charon I was like "Oh my God, this is amazing!" There were few things that I didn`t like, but overall great 5 songs + sick intro, as good as PL and Ic ones. As a person who listened to 100 random...

    It`s not rock/metal, but it`s just perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jyZmsyYNz4

    Symphony X - Nevermore

    I don`t think this song is amateur, but it sounds amateur. And by amateur, as I said, I mean there is almost no originality, power is little bit lacking and this awful 4:30 - 4:50 part with "much-needed dynamic change", which is just lame thing used by every band ever and it unnecessarily...

    Symphony X - Nevermore

    By "sounds amateur" I mean that even I can come up with more interesting structure of the song. Intro is short and not developed at all, altough I hope it`s connected to the outro of the Overture. Stanzas are nice but seem a little bit powerless (like the Russell is scared of these angry fans...

    Symphony X - Nevermore

    I think that the worst thing about this song is that for the most part it sounds amateur.

    Symphony X - Nevermore

    Well, I`m actually pleased with the fact that again I don`t know what the hell is going on and I will probably figure it out few months later. I was deciphering Heretic for 11 months and after that time I felt very proud of myself :lol: In my opinion even the Divine Wings of Tragedy has...

    2015 Symphony X Album News

    I`m baaaack. You know what that means... Arguing! Yeaa you surely missed that... You wanna tell me that "Kiss of Fire", "Hell and Back", "Without You", "In My Darkest Hour" are not typical power metal bullshit (btw much worse that any of Iconoclast titles)? At least try to sound like you say...

    Are they even really still prog these days?

    Well, they moved away, but for me they`re still prog. Like, I don`t know, they were vodka and they are beer. The percents are very different, but those are both alcohols. But if we`re talking `bout their heavy side, they were beer and now they are vodka :)

    SX new album update

    :lol: It`s not that hard, really. The Count of Tuscany is a masterpiece, but lyrics are something like 4/10.

    SX new album update

    I love SX lyrics, Romeo & Allen wrote one of my favourite texts ever. Much better than average metal lyrics - if they`re easy to understand, I don`t buy it. But please, don`t say this band is not using cliche words. Hell - fire - flames - sky - soul - eyes - darkness - god - pain - war -...

    SX new album update

    In other bands that have normal lyrics this could be a problem, but in SX I don`t see any. Why? When I discover these albums and was listening to them while reading their lyrics, I didn`t even realize they`re all about Lucifer`s mind/domination of technology. They`re so unclear, ambiguous...

    SX new album update

    You forgot to mention that Russell Allen is so "grrr bastards burn" on this album. :) Parts where I agree: 1. Lack of keyboard. Yeah, definitely poor Pinnella doesn`t get what he deserves here. The Lords of Chaos is the best example I think. 2. Some quotes: "We are strong - We will stand and...

    SX new album update

    and answer: That`s the perfect illustration of I`m talking about. When I say some comments here are just pure hatred against new sound of SX and that "Candelight Fantasia is not really that good" I`m arrogant, while other say things like those in the quote and most of you don`t care. Now I...

    2014* - new and upcoming albums

    Aaah... okay The song is pretty boring to me, when it comes to instrumental I`m more into something like this - http://www.myfreemp3.cc/artist/Derek%20Sherinian/Black%20Utopia/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MArxKI9D63c This is the "real death metal" and it`s also boring, TRV METAL is...
