Nope, just the title-track, and nothing on Iconoclast either. Seriously, the entire album is Romeo on music/lyrics and Russ helping out with the latter on occasion. Like, WTF?
If I were LePond, Pinella, and Rullo, I would certainly be feeling like I was getting the shit-end of the stick for the last two albums. I recall one person saying that they talked to LePond at a show shortly after PL's release and he was pretty sad that he didn't get to write anything on the album. I can only imagine the other two must feel similar.
I mean, judging by some of the stuff Pinella has done as of late, I can still hear that he's got the classic Symphony X sound in him, it's just that he's for some (mindbogglingly stupid) reason not getting any chance to give input on the writing process. Despite the guitar being my instrument of choice, most of the best parts on V and the Odyssey are all his contributions.
Hell, I didn't even realize that Rullo was involved in the writing until I looked at my V booklet one more time (I always figured he just wrote parts of Death of Balance, and that was it), but if he really had a role in songs like Fallen, Communion, Egypt, and Rediscovery, then why the fuck has he been pushed to the side like this?
Same for LePond. He helps write Egypt, Accolade II, Awakenings, and the ending to the Odyssey, only to have his hopes of being a big part of the band shot down in flames? Is this some kind of sick joke?
Wow, I've really gone off on a tangent here, but when you lay all the facts out on the table, it really becomes clear that this is no longer a band-effort, which really shows in the music (which is still good, but resultantly not nearly as varied). I sincerely hope for the next album that the rest of the band (or at the VERY least Pinella) gets to share their ideas and help put it together.
