Symphony X - Iconoclast

[Mullmuzzler]

Wow. The title track is kickin my ass!!

 

[Sir Exar Kun]

I'm enjoying this disc a lot more than I had thought I would. Songwriting is great throughout. This would be a MAJOR hitter if only Russ would SING instead of growling throughout. Every single song I keep hearing how it SHOULD sound instead of how it does sound....

Romeo and Pinella both sound the best they have in YEARS though.

This new cd is a masterpiece.....wow....what an amazing album. I do, however, have to admit that I am not crazy about R. Allen's singing in the last 2 albums. He has one of the best voices in metal...why is he wasting it with all that growling ?

This is definately "album of the year" so far.

Yeah, after shrugging off both The Odyssey and Paradise Lost, I am seriously digging this one.

[Liquid Tension]

Gave it a few spins and I would rather listen to Divine, V and Odyssey to get my Symphony X fix....

The lyrics are comical in places and Allen's singing is sub-par for him so I don't understand all the praise...

 

[Metman]

Mine should arrive today.....Sounds Like Im in for a Treat................

I actually seen both versions of this in ""FYE" in Bridgewater....

If you liked the heavy technical approach of Paradise Lost, you'll like the new one. Proggers hoping for another album like V will be disappointed. (I like all their stuff so the new one works for me, I think it totally rocks.)
I'm surprised you can still find an FYE! All the ones near my old hometown went out of business, CD stores are dropping like flies! (My high school job was at Sam Goody, they're history.) Ken's selection is better anyway
