Time Requiem > Symphony X

omg heresy

I got the Time requiem CD and i was really dissapointed, considering how much praise Richard Anderson has gotten. Its just drivel...most of it sounds like wanking for the sake of wanking and they do some pretty blatant Yngwie and SyX rip offs. Is Majestic any better?

 

[arglebargle]

Dunno, I've never heard Majestic

I think Time Requiem is interesting wanking. Original, no; better than Symphony X, prolly not; enjoyable, yep.

I feel for the guys in Time Requiem with Andersson cuz he's nothing but a wanker. I liked the Time cd, but toooo much Andersson in there. The other guys are pretty good, they have a good sound overall, but geez.

Andersson has shamelessly ripped off Symphony X in more than one band, and has a horrible tone. On top of that, the new Adagio keyboardist puts him to shame.

Majestic is quite ok if you want to hear some insane shredding-duels, but then it gets boring too much shred...

Yes, he does! And for that matter, Andersson didn't write any of the music on Adagio, he just played it. And boy will I be glad to hear something other than Andys' horrible tone.

Yes, its true. When i spoke with Sthephan Forte he told me he wrote all the keyboard solos. However, considering the fact Andersson didnt go to any musical school i think hes a great keyboardist.
