Actually there is an "ISO-LIT". If you are into bodybuilding or know anything about chemistry you will know this. It's written Isolate and pronounced "ISO-LIT". I'm sitting here right now drinking Whey Protein Isolate ("isolit") in my shaker cup . This is a different word than "ISO-LATE" which...

Lol, i saw this a while back and thought of Circus Maximus. Terrible movie but I loved the scenery.

Exact thoughts I had. Seems like the riffs are different versions of PL ones. A lot of segments as well. :(

I agree completely. It sounds uninspired. like it was written on the spot. In an interview with Russ he said they don't do multiple takes/recordings (or he doesn't). He just sings it once and then he's happy with it because they otherwise get too critical. I think that has become their...

The album makes me think of that recent live online interview with the band. When asked about what music the band liked or has been listening to Russ answered that he's really into Protest The Hero. Then each member got to say which SymX album was their favorite. When Lepond answered "V" Russ...

The lyrics are terrible, the whole album is awful.. Russ re-uses "shore to shore" and one line is "if all the world's a stage". Sorry but I can't say nothing anymore the whole album is laughable! The last line and chorus in When All is Lost. "What went wrong, where have all my heroes gone...

Iconoclast cannot compare to the older albums, but given that PL was a piece of trash this one is actually pretty fun. I still think Russel's "new" vocals sound somehow immature. I just cannot relate to his voice and whatever emotion he is trying to convey. It's not worth criticizing really...

Agreed.

Wait a minute, what does Jax look like?

Seattle was awesome. And yes they will play the Odyssey guaranteed. They purposely practiced it and added it to the set list due to Nevermore dropping out. It's the "encore" but whatever. Everyone was chanting "SYM PHO NE" and I screamed at the top of my lungs "ODYSSEY" until everyone chanted...

Great, I hope your feelings haven't changed ; )

Man, I seriously can't wait any longer.. So you really like this more than The Odyssey? I am like you in that I really am not into Paradise Lost. I rather dislike it actually. If this album is as good as The Odyssey I am seriously going to go crazy. And you haven't even heard the 2 disk version...

Hey what's up!? I'll be there early man and looking forward to checking you guys out. I'll say hi if I can, my name is Wes. I'm trying to decide if I want to get the 100 dollar ticket so I can get in see Romeo before the show. I really don't know what to expect if I do get the ticket, so it's a...

Um no... Good god. Oh, steel warrior, thanks man :)

Great to see this review and it sure is reassuring regardless of the truth. And yes the double disk version is the definitive one, this should be kept in mind. I have a hard time believing it's their best album but I'm just going to try to believe it : ) I think even on their best albums there...
