Iron Maiden - Dream of Mirrors. The beginning really seems to be out of line with the rest of the excellent song.

The Glass Prison is good, but way overrated. It's not one of their best songs. The scratching is the sound of cymbals in reverse playback. I think the instrumental section is way over-indulgent and there's too much shredding! I hate what Jordan Rudess has done to the band. Kevin Moore used to play so well with John Petrucci, now it's a case of who can show off more.
About "The Eyes of Medusa", the midesection is one of the main reasons why it's my favourite SyX song. It's beautiful and makes the song much more than just a "Symphony X standard".

i think it is safe to say that a handful of yngwie rising force songs suck and are saved only by the solos.

Best Album of the Year
@kate bush.... i can hardly think of a standard style symx song. i mean, that's the thing about symX that has so much appeal is their songs are all pretty unique from each other. Is it just the fact that there is a lot of verse chrorus verse chorus solo chorus stuff going on? I just don't understand where that comes from.
"ARK - Waking Hour - superb song with terrible chorus"
Blasphemy. Most Ark choruses are amazing.

Totally agree, I usually just fast forward it, but otherwise in my top ten albums of ALL time.

cheating the polygraph
I don't hate the "intermission" in Light Of Day, I think the saxophone and the rest of the instrumental backing there sound very mournful, but it does kill the momentum of the piece a bit...
Wait, I just thought of how Rhapsody could redeem themselves. They should get Byron from Bal-Sagoth to the the narrations instead of that moron they have now. Then the narrations would be cool.

Queensrÿche's "En Force". Great song, but the acoustic ending blows. Geoff Tate is one of my favorite metal singers, and I was really dissapointed when I heard his voice in the end of that song. It sounded like he was parodying someone!

Glass Prison: best song on Six Degrees by a mile
Anyway, a good example of a song gone to shit is Witching Hour. It starts off nice but once the verse comes in I start to become nauseous.

Labrie isn't involved in the writing of DT's music. Musically, 6 Degrees was completely written before James ever heard it.joeshabadoo said:
I admit that when the narrator comes in the whole song just biffs it and comes to a screeching halt, but they needed the narrator to end their whole storyline, so it had to be done. I think it has kind of a cool effect.
Glass Prison: The numetal section. *shudder* And yeah, the scratches are done on a keyboard - I saw Jordan do it from like 10 feet away live. I must say the backwards cymbals in that part sound pretty damn cool.
Eyes of Medusa: The way the classical interlude seems out of place is the POINT.
I love it.

Ok, here I go: the new Royal Hunt album, called Eyewitness. The song that gives its name to the album is awesome, and it gets better and better till... an horrible sound of a vinyl disc being scratched cuts the song suddenly!!!
Regarding Jordan Rudess vs. Kevin Moore, they both contributed to the two wonderful masterpieces Dream Theater did: Images and Words with Moore and Metropolis Part II with Rudess. I also love some of the Rudess' solo albums, and Moore solo career is not what I expected...

I had to go back and find this thread, cause I just thought of a song that drives me apes*** when it gets to the end. "Never Understand" on Angra's "Angel's Cry" CD where they get guest guitarists to throw in sloppy solos to end a great song. I hate that.
Now I expect Yngvai X to reply and say "WTF, that's awesome!"
Bring it on, Matt !!!

Like when Pantera gets Kerry King to guest solo at the end of War Nerve...like you can't do harmonics and squeals and whammy dives on your own?!!! stupid.
