on the breath of posidon is a horrible example of filler...
i think you guys are misunderstanding what filler is... filler is writing a song half assed just cuz you have room for one or more extra songs. its like you have 3 great songs and wanna make an album so you write a bunch of shit in a hurry to get ur album on the shelves. breath of posidon is meant to symbolize a very important part of the mythology that unfolds in the suite and though you may not think its musically interesting, the concept of the album isn't complete without it.
I for one believe that every symphony x song was put on the album with the intention of creating a great song and thus none of them can be considered filler... although the first album falls way below the standards they set for themselves in proceeding albums, even all the tracks on that album seem to me to be honest attempts at good hard heavy metal.
blasphemer!!!!!!!!
It's absolutely necessary that they are further tracks and not a part of another one.
Uh...damn I feel like a freaky, addicted fanboy
objectively said I think it's better for the movement of the story and the overall form and feel etc that they are independent tracks.

I agree with this statement. I do think there are a few Symphony X tracks that are below par, but perhaps they were not written for the sole purpose of filling up an album.

This is what I think it's gonna be:
Number of tracks: 9
Longest track: 8 minutes
Length of album: around 60 minutes

It's gonna be 10 tracks with 1 epic song, no "fillers". My best friend asked one of the bandmembers himself on Saturday (I'm not going to say who in the band, b/c I am assuming info is not supposed to leak), he says that Romeo hardly leaves his basement anymore. More than half of the album is recorded including all of the drums. The most exciting thing is that he said that the bass sound is going to rip!! Damn I can't wait...

I suppose I could believe you... my brother is friends with Romeo, he calls him every once in a while and I'm pretty sure he's confirmed the same thing. I just want to say that this obviously might not be the case, so nobody should believe it 100% yet.MasqueReaper said:

Me too! I know that he wasn't too pleased with his sound on The Odyssey (and to a lesser extent, V), as he was saying his tone on the live album was better than both. Lepond's live tone is really good -- let's just hope some of those mids can be heard on a studio album for once.
I don't think the bass sound on "The Odyssey" was that bad, though mostly because the overall sound was much clearer than on "V", making it easier for the bass to "peek through" the wall of guitar, so to speak. (The bass-heavy parts in "Communion..." and "Egypt" excluded.)
Still miles away from being as distinct as Miller's sound, which is sad because Lepond has proved to be on par with Miller on LOTEOF.

Like I mentioned in that other thread where Romeo is in his studio and I didn't even see a coffee cup........
If somebody doesn't soon get him some coffee, my prediction is:
0 short tracks
0 long tracks
0 fillers
and
0 epics.
Gee, if I could, I'd call in for a delivery.

Yikes, this definitely calls for a seperate thread. I used to believe that Miller was the shit, but after hearing Live on the Edge of Forever and seeing Syx live, I know that Leopond shits on Miller. The best examples of this can be heard in LOTEoF, Leopond rips all over Millers original parts in Church of the Machine, he improves tons of crazy riffs, and there is even one occasion during the second verse where Rullo and Leopond improvise a crazy off-time part that is NOT on the album. I also think Leopond rips Sea of Lies much smoother live then Miller did on the album. The only difference is that Miller used to help Romeo write, and his influence really gave syx their sound. Anyone else feel this way?

This is possible, although the epic song may be along the lines of "On the Edge of Forever." The news about the bass sound ripping is probably the best thing that I have heard so far...I can't wait!
