Incantations of the Apprentice vs. The Turning

[MorphineChild205]

I thought I'd take what most consider to be the two weakest songs on The Odyssey and make them fight to the death. Which song do you prefer?

 

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

I voted for The Turning

 

[The Metal Chick]

I voted Turning too. I love the drums in that song, and the cool arpeggio thing Romeo does under the keyboard melody is way cool.

 

[TheEdgeOfThorns]

i had to vote for I.O.T.A. because i love the main guitar riff \m/

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Incantations. I LOVE the keyboards in the beginning and the darkly strong vocals.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Incantations. Better arranged, better riffs in my opinion.

 

[SilentRealm]

The Turning because Russells voice is more aggressive and sexy in it, and personally I dont think the chorus sucks as bad as the one for incantations does.

 

[Demonspell]

The two standard neoclassical tracks that every Symphony X album seems to possess (Bird-Serpent, Dragon's Den, Witching Hour, etc.)...on the Odyssey, I'd have to go with Incantations for that manic intro and awesome stop-starts, although The Turning is also underrated, great chorus and Romeo/Pinella duel...

 

[DestrwidoR]

The Turning is a good one!!!
Man, when Russel screams "Ohh, Save my soul" it's very cool!!

 

[ProgMetalFan]

The Turning

"The Turning" does seem somewhat clumsy at times... but the main riff is tenacious, the drumming inspired and I love Russell's aggressive vocals.

"Incantations" is my least favorite song from the album... I love the manic intro... the guitar is superb... but most of the song I find unspectacular... and the chorus is quite forgettable.

Incantations

 

[R*O*C*K*S*]

The Turning

I have The Odyssey since th beginning of the year and I'm sure I listened to IOTA less than 5 times

when I first heard the chorus I was like: "yuck"

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

turning, by far

 

[Yngvai X]

The Turning has an awsome solo section, but Incantations has the more badass riff IMO. I still can't decide, but I guess if it came down to which I'd rather see them do live, id say The Turning.

 

[Medusa's eyes]

The Turning!

I love the drums in it, Russell's voice, the guitarsolo...good song!

 

[Polyeidus]

IotA!!!

 

['Shuggah]

My vote goes to Incantations as well. I like the lyrics better. And as an old DooM fan, I just gotta vote for the song that mentions "barons of hell".

DooM! I still play that game! There's a model pack online which makes all the monsters 3D...DooM actually LOOKS good! But yeah, I remember the Barons of Hell part...I thought of DooM right away!

 

[urinalcakemix]

I voted for the Turning, because of the title =], Its so easy to remember, the Turning, instead of Incantations, who haw time to write out Incantations of the Apprentice NOTE: I copied and pasted the title because its too long to type out..
