Awakening

[joeshabadoo]

Is it just me, or is this the GREATEST SYMPY X TRACK EVER! I was blown away by the composition. All of the elements blend together in perfect harmony. God! I even sync'd it up with a Fantasia 2000 segment (the one with the spirit of nature and the volcanic beast). With a little 15 sec skip in the video portion towards the middle, it fit perfectly! But i digress. I just wanted to post my position on this song and ask for others' thoughts.

 

[BastrdDrmr]

It definitely is a very great track. It sounds a little bit more like I'd expect a Dream Theater song to sound though instead of a Symphony X song. The composition just seems more in the style of Dream Theater. Obviously, Russell Allen does a much better job than James Labrie could ever do.

 

[joeshabadoo]

I would have to agree with you on the vocals.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Ah the vocals oh man and the solos kick ass song

 

[ElvenShadow]

It's my favorite track on the Odyssey and probably one of my top 5 songs by the band ever. The keyboard work is among some of the best I have ever heard, the whole song is amazing.

 

[Hatebreeder86]

yeah it fuckin rocks

 

[SX Addicted]

Amazing song, the intro and the solo blew my mind away, it's one of my favorite in the new album, with Accolade II and Inferno (also the 4th part of the odyssee, daughter of the sun!!!)

RE: w453angel...nice site, nice pups!
Our only boy cat (of 7) is ROMEO. He's a shredder.
Awakenings is great. I love the lyrics.

 

[Demonspell]

Anyone who says Symphony X lacks emotion must listen to Awakenings...that song gives me chills every time, and features one of the greatest key solos I have ever heard.

Amazing song, my second favourite on Odyssey.

Odyssey>Awakenings>Accolade 2>King of Terrors>Inferno>The Turning>Incantations of the Apprentice>Wicked

(note: this is not saying Wicked is a bad song [lets face it that guitar solo KILLS])

Who would ever say such a stupid thing about Symphony X?


I agree with everyone... "Awakenings" is truly magical. From Pinella's staggering highlights... to the monstrous chorus that reminds me a bit of Kansas... this song is a classic for the ages.

 

[w453angel]

I love it, too!

My favorite song on The Odyssey, though is Accolade II. It is so awesome!!

 

[azal]

that guitar solo


and yes pinnella shines....


what more can one add......

godly

 

[w453angel]

In my opinion, one of the better songs on the CD, but I love them all!!

If there's one song that sums me up right now it would be this one.

[cosmic weatherdude]

Fast becoming my favorite next to the title track.

 

[Lady Of The Snow]

I LOVED Awakenings from the very start...

And I agree with Demonspell. Whoever says that SX lack emotion...
