V - The New Mythology Suite

[SilentRealm]

While V doesnt really have my single favourite songs, like DWOT, The Odyssey and Through the Looking Glass etc.. as a whole it IS my favourite album of theirs because I think it has the most consistently good quality songs (and being a concept album is also a huge bonus) whereas the other albums have some of those epic songs, but alot of 'fillers' as well. I would have loved PL to be another concept album, but from the news we've gotten from MJR I suspect it isn't, that it will follow similar lines to the Odyssey album.

 

[AutumnGust]

V is not the easiest type of CD to get into. It's very complex and has a lot of little details. There are a few parts, which are hard for me to get into (Maybe it's so progressive, not sure). I still need to listen it for a few weeks I think.

Well i second that. It's a tricky album to get hold of.

 

[progmetaldan]

I play bass... I'm in WA though lol.

Yeah, Dan is definitely one of the best names invented.

All we need now is a drummer and vocalist called Dan.

Damn, I need a bass player... And funnily enough, I actually do no a drummer named Dan... That would just be crazy...

 

[dparker88]

Yeah, over here every band wants bassists and drummers (especially drummers). I've been asked to join two bands already, and haven't even applied for the positions, they haven't heard me play, and I haven't got a decent rig yet (got a sweet cab, now looking for a head).

If by the offchance I'm ever in SA, I'll drop in hahaa... noticed there is a few other aussies in this Symphony X forum... any of you guys a vocalist by the name of Dan/Daniel/Danielle/or similar?

 

[meisteh]

here are some songs you could cover:

The Dans of Eternity
The Danation Game
Danage, Inc.
The Jester's Dans
Lost and Danned

 

[dparker88]

Yeah, we'd definately do The Danation Game and Danage Inc.

There also albums we could cover, like Opeth's "Danation", Iron Maiden's "Dan of Death", and Iced Earth's "The Blessed and The Daned" (although the later is actually a compilation.

 

[progmetaldan]

Definately gotta do Dream Theater's 'When Dream And Dan Unite'...

 

[dparker88]

Haha yeah... I also forgot an SX fave of mine! "In The Dragon's Dan"

 

[1by4by9]

Yes, yes and yes.

Fallen, Communion And The Oracle and Rediscovery are my favourites.

 

[progmetaldan]

THis is funny, we're just having our own little conversation completely different to what the rest of the thread is about...

BTW, dparker88, check yer PM's...

 

[dparker88]

Haha... yeah I'm good at swaying threads it seems.

PM checked.

 

[Wander]

Yeah, you turned my thread into Dan band chat.

Well, shall we stay on the subject V now?

I'd like to ask, does Symphony X perform songs from V often live?

 

[progmetaldan]

On the live cd they play pretty much all the proper songs of V... I've never seen them live, so other than that I wouldn't know...

 

[dparker88]

Haha yeah, they will have to come to Aus so we can answer your question *hint hint*.

 

[progmetaldan]

*more hint...*

 

[DoomsdayZach]

On the live cd they play pretty much all the proper songs of V... I've never seen them live, so other than that I wouldn't know...

How DARE you suggest, even slightly, that it is acceptable for them to skip A Fool's Paradise and Rediscovery!!!!

 

[dparker88]

How DARE you suggest, even slightly, that it is acceptable for them to skip A Fool's Paradise and Rediscovery!!!!

Yeah, A Fool's Paradise is easily one of my faves on that album... the first song on the album that I had on repeat.

Rediscovery on the other hand... ponders the question... is 'amazing', in it's truest meaning, really enough for Rediscovery... excellent song.

 

[Horus]

A Fool's Paradise is my favorite Sym X song ever. I'll probably need to bring an extra pair of underwear to the May 25 show on the off chance that they play it at the show.

 

[1by4by9]

I would go straight for the diapers. I envy you.

 

[HeavyProg]

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No, I think oddyssey is the best so far.
4. My favorite songs are, evolution and Fallen.

Very nice album.
