Tyler is a good singer, but the way he used his voice on the album couldn't have been worse. I agree that the production was very bad, but I still think that the songs are awesome. Yes, even Shades of Grey
Interview with Symphony X tomorrow! (Suggestions for questions are welcomed)
- Thread starter Undefined
- Start date
Well, just to put an end to the speculation until I get this thing written up, Lepond stated (not word for word not just going from memory)that they are not going to re-do the first album. They talked about it before but now they have decided it wouldn't be a good idea. If they some songs it would be for the hardcore fans and maybe used as bonus track on some future release, but the stuff they're writing now interests them so much more and they just want to continue in that progression.

Does this last post mean there's going to be new songs from SX?
Nope. Never. Paradise Lost was their swan song.
Personally, I'm REALLY glad that they don't want to re-record the s/t. The songs are nowhere near as well-written as their newer material, most of them just aren't all that good.

I beg to differ. Considering that the SX debut is the only release he's ever been on (based on the quick search I just did), it doesn't look like there's anything out there to change my mind.
Well, thanks for asking. It's too bad, it would have been cool to hear them do that. However, as a band, you have to accept what you did in the past and leave it like that.
I guess that all of us would rather see them release a new album than an old one

ok people. symphony x in 94' wasnt isnt the same as in 2008. i think for what romeo was going for tyler did the job and romeo had to find people fast for that japanese record company so sure it maybe (to you guys) wasn't the best in terms of production/songs etc. but this was their first go. if i had a first album like that id be fuckin stoked!

I like the songs on the s/t album, and many of them do have potential with Russ singing. Imagine Thorns or Absinthe with Russell...

the most brutal thing about those pics is the guy in the St. Anger shirt.
I noticed that as well...

I would like to hear more of the epic fantasy stuff they wrote, like Accolades and Odyssey, so ask if they're gonna make that kind of stuff anymore ! 
Cool pics man.
I once had the chance to listen to 'Masquerade' (demo in Odyssey) with Russ singing and it's fucking AMAZING!
This is totally unfair btw, I think it should be available to everyone who owns 'The Odyssey', but anyway...
It was much better than I expected.

It's on the import version (or possibly just a special edition version). I have the same one, with Masquerade. Most people have it on here, I think.
They also offered it as a download on the site at one point, I believe.
The last tour featured Masquerade as a staple of the set. I liked it much better live than recorded.
