Poll: The Odyssey vs. Divine Wings of Tragedy [the song, not the album]

[urinalcakemix]

just wondering , what you guys thought was a better song, happy voting

 

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

I voted for The Odyssey, primarily because of Champion Of Ithica. That song is just brilliant. The Divine Wings Of Tragedy lacks that big 'triumphant' finale.

 

[Knight of the Templar]

Well, a month ago I would have said "Divine Wings, without doubt"... but now, I say "The Odyssey, by far". Odyssey catched me! It's a wonderful song, melodic, powerful.... movie soundtrack-like!!! And I love "Journey to Ithaca" and the guitar beginning of "Sirens"... that riff fu***n rules!!! And of course, "Escylla and Charbdis" (sp?), with that tremendous orchestral moment just before "Champion of Ithaca"... that moment reminds me of Howard Shore and his LOTR soundtrack...

So, my vote is for The Odyssey

PS: Mini-poll, inside a poll: Better "heavy" guitar beggining on The Odyssey: The Eye or Sirens. That's tough (at least for me!)!

The Divine Wings Of Tragedy lacks that big 'triumphant' finale.

dude, that ending is quite triumphant
but in a different way than in The Odyssey

anyway, I see what you mean

 

[TheEdgeOfThorns]

The Oddyssey highlights all of the musical capabilities symphony x has. from heavy and thrashing to soft and slow. It's nothing short of amazing.

 

[BastrdDrmr]

I like the Divine Wings of Tragedy just a little bit more.

 

[MorphineChild205]

I voted DWOT, simply because I like the music in it better. However, Russell in particular shines more in The Odyssey.

 

[Pharaoh]

Although the Odyssey is incredible, there is nothing quite as special as DWOT, which gets my vote.

 

[SilentRealm]

today.. i went for divine wings.. strange for me? definately, especially after i spent endless posts defending my decision to vote for the odyssey as the best song in the last poll. but my mind changes with each day, and today i am thinking of that guitar solo in the end of divine wings that just hits me right in that special place in my heart, dunno what it is about it, but i love it..not that this poll matters to me so much because truthfully i absolutely am in awe of both songs in different ways.

!

Yes, it is. My vote goes to TDWOT.

 

[Medusa's eyes]

Both of the songs have something special but I think I will go for The Odyssey

 

[Knight of the Templar]

Ok, TDWOT is nothing short of amazing (specially the live version), but The Odyssey has something more that I like... I don't know what is, but that makes me like Odyssey more than Divine Wings. Maybe Russell's voice, or maybe the "adventure" feeling of the song... I don't know, really, but The Odyssey is awesome, and I like it a lot.

TDWOT, on the other hand: killer intro (take that "At the Four Corners of the Earth" out... I'm talking about "In the Room of Thrones"), bombastic playing... incredible heavy part (The Prophet's cry remains as one of my favourite "songs" ever) and awesome instrumental after that... and of course, quiet and majestic outro... but for me, nothing more than an extended good song. The Odyssey, to me, is more than that.

But, if I had the chance... I would have voted for both...

Agree. DWOT has a really wonderful ending!
BTW I voted for DWOT. This song is a masterpiece.

 

[scanner313]

I voted for TDWOT. To me it is the very best of what SymphonyX is all about. It's very different from The Odyssey, but in my opinion it's much better!

 

[Dark_Wolf]

Divine Wings...

 

[The Metal Chick]

The Odyssey...that song has my heart man...
