Underrated Favorites

[SilentRealm]

Dunno if this is worthy of 'new-thread' or not. But all that talk of overated favorites got me curious about some underrated favorites that some people may have.
What SymX songs don't get alot of recognition but you find that you just can't get out of your head? What songs just kick some butt no matter what anyone else thinks of them?

For me I like Egypt, Smoke and Mirrors, just to name a couple.

 

[Dream Symphony]

For me I like Egypt, Smoke and Mirrors, just to name a couple.

I LOVE smoke and mirrors. Personally the studio version is better.

Another song I really like that I've seen other people bash is Secrets. I love the chorus on that song. Its so catchy.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Everyone Hates Pharoah, I love it.

Eyes of Medusa is definatly my fav' heavy song of SyX, but not many people seem to think its that great, sure they like it, but I love it.

 

[Luis]

Shades of grey (beaitiful piano intro and deep lyrics for me)
Raging season (good voclas parts by Tyler, nice guitar solo)
Absence of Light (Just amazing¡¡¡)
A fools paradise (Bach meets SymphonyX)

Great songs, however many people dont like them....

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Yeah I agree with Absence of Light and Fools Paradise. They're both great. The harpsicord/tapping guitar frenzy at the end of the classical part is hella-cool.

 

[Yngvai X]

Witching Hour, The Relic, Orion the Hunter, Incantations of the Apprentice, Savage Curtain...those are all pretty cool and I dont hear people mention them too much

 

[BastrdDrmr]

Absence of Light
Fool's Paradise
In the Dragon's Den

 

[CrimsonForever]

Pharaoh, Witching Hour, Incantations of the Apprentice.... These are the songs I hear
get bashed the most, though I think they're works of excellence, just like all other SyX songs.

 

[Demonspell]

Whispers
In The Dragon's Den
The Relic
Absence Of Light
A Fool's Paradise
The Turning

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

A Fool's Paradise
The Relic
The Bird Serpent War/Cataclysm

 

[ProgMetalFan]

I second Demonspell's list.... and I'll also add "Shades of Grey".

 

[The Metal Chick]

The Turning
Secrets
The Witching Hour
Absence of Light
A Fools Paradise

what about Candlelight Fantasia?

 

[Manga-San]

Candelight Fantasia (The Best Symphony X Song)
Communion and the Oracle
Lady of the Snow
Smoke and Mirrors (The guitar is amazing)
Church of the Machine (Way different than most SX stuff)
The Damnation Game (The riffs are so cool)
Dressed to Kill (Amazing Opening Riff)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

I reckon instead of closing with Of Sins and Shaddows, they should close with Turning.

My top 3 underrated SyX songs are:

1) Pharaoh - I believe is one of SyX's best songs. And Russel's voice when he sings "Desecrators of Ra" is awesome!

2) Savage Curtain - I absolutely love the guitar solo in this song. For some reason is just sticks out whenever I listen to it. The rest of the song is cool, not incredible, but that lead puts it over the top for me.

3) Incantations of the Apprentice - Just for the Intro alone!

 

[The Yngster]

The Turning rules! It took me awhile to get into it, but now its one of my favorites on Oddysey. Also Witching Hour, A Fool's Paradise, The Relic.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Orion - The Hunter is vastly underrated in my opinion. Just listen to those keyboard solos!

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

I could never get into the Witching Hour. But I really like Church of the Machine which I don't think gets enough credit.

b/t/w does anyone like my little guy with a beard making the \m/ sign?

 

[Grom Hellscream]

The most underrated Symphony X song is Incantations of the Appretice. I don't know why everyone hate it? I love it!
