What is your favorite song from the debut Symphony X album?

I think they will all be pretty good once they redo the recording, but as they stand now I like "Rapture or Pain" the best. It's the only song I can get through without noticing either poor production or really "hard to stomach" vocals.

I do like the intro to "Taunting the Notorius" though. I can't wait to hear that redone!

I think I'll vote for "Absinthe and Rue"... though for some strange reason... I can't seem to stop listening to "Shades of Grey" lately!

Shades of Grey is beautiful, i cant wait to listen to it with Russell. The best ballad after Candelight Fantasia.

Shades of Grey is beautiful, i cant wait to listen to it with Russell. The best ballad after Candelight Fantasia.

I don't think it's as good as The Lady of the Snow or Communion and the Oracle...

I almost spit out my Mountain Dew when I read that.

damnt !

hehe
these days I've been thinking of making polls from time to time asking the best song from each album
and then get the winners and make a final poll

it could be considered kind of a best SymX song in general

but let's go

when this topic "ends" I'll make one about TDG

c'mon !

untie this !

Absinthe and Rue hands down. Rapture of Pain deserves a mention too.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Wow, the power ballad "Shades of Grey" is making a suprisingly strong showing!

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

I really don't listen to this album. But my vote is for "Premonition". I like Pinnella's work on it and I really think that this has the most potential for their rerecording.

 

[Medusa's eyes]

I voted for The Raging Season.
Symphony X is not one of my favourite albums ever, but this song is nice .

 

[Marre79]

Absinthe And Rue is the best for me! DAMN I can't wait the new version of this whole album where Russel "GOD" Allen is singing...

 

[ShredManWalking]

I find myself banging my head EVERY time I listen to "Absinthe and Rue"... I made an unofficial burnt Symphony X fun mix with that song on it... Listen to it all the time. WARNING: listening to "Absinthe and Rue" may cause excessive 'pedal to the metal' when driving

I know! When I'm listening to Symphony X in the car it makes me speed... or do double bass with the gas and brakes

 

[The Stormbringer]

"Absinthe and Rue" first place! :Spin: (I voted for it, too.)

 

[ProgMetalFan]

No votes for "Thorns of Sorrow" yet!
