Favourite song from "Paradise Lost"

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

I was pleasantly surprised by this album's consistency. Pretty much every Symphony X album has a few weak songs on it; this one has none.

^ i agree that the album is extreamly consistent - all the songs are great, but i think it perhaps lacks diversity, aside from paradise lost and Sacrifice all the songs are in a similar vein.

I think Seven is my favorite track. It's the most "classic" sounding, but with enough freshness to make it new.

Various tracks on this album remind me of older Symphony X songs. That one is sort of like The Relic, in a way. It's not as straight-ahead neoclassical as that, but it has a similar vibe.

Speaking of that, does anyone else hear similarities between The Sacrifice and Shades of Grey? That's probably the worst song they ever did, and The Sacrifice is muuuuch better, but it has some similarities to it in the overall structure, especially the guitar solo.

I honestly believe that Shades of Grey was only a bad song because Rod sang it. Granted, perhaps not even Russell could not save that song, but he at least would make it much better.

I actually don't hate that song. It may be the worst song by many "objective" criteria, but it enjoy it for its cheese factor.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Terrible song. I'm grumpy.

 

[arglebargle]

I'm really digging Domination, it's badass!!

 

[Progbass]

Have listened the album about 4 times, so hard to choose yet, went for set the world on fire but could easily choose paradise lost, walls of babylon or seven.

 

[mawdyson]

I'd have to go with Set The World On Fire (The Lie Of Lies). \m/

Revelation. There are tons of great songs like Eve of Seduction and Seven, but Revelation is the most epic, complex, and interesting.

Exactly what I was thinking. Most interesting and complex on the record.

 

[Jax]

I can't pick just one.

 

[Dr Zephyr]

Revelation. The outro is godly.

This album and its much-loved title track proves, just like with 'Communion and the oracle' in 'V,' that Symphony X fans are wussies.

I'm surprised that 'Revelation' is doing so well after all the unfavorable press it had received.

If Symphony X fans are such wussies, how come I was with your mom last night? Burn!!! Oh yeah, Revelation is my favorite anyways.

Note: Talking shit on Symphony X fans at a Symphony X forum, not the best idea.


Edit: What did you expect me to say? Nah fool, Brutal! Domination fool! Brutal! Symphony X! Brutal! And of course being a wussy means you have musical taste, hmm.

 

[gmiller1983]

As of now my favourite is Paradise Lost but it changes quite a lot

That comment on SX fans being wussies was very much in jest. Obviously I myself am a fan who loves the title track of 'PL' and even 'Communion.'

It's like calling black people 'my pals' or 'niggah' when you're African-American yourself.

 

[Time-Machinist]

Revelation is awesome. I pick that one.

 

[webmajstr]

The opening is the best(Oculus Ex Inferni and Set The World On Fire)!!

 

[b-bert]

I agree. Oculus Ex Inferni especially.
