I'd like to know what do you think of each S X studio album. If you're not interested in this thread or you want to tell some childish regrets about other's opinion, please do not reply.
This is how I find...
Symphony X -
This album got potential, but quite awful sounds and terrible singer makes the album boring. This album needs re-recording or at least remastering with new vocals sung by Allen.
The Damnation Game -
What should I say... the Edge of Forever is one of my all time favourites, a real masterpiece. But this album got some really boring songs like Savage Curtain or the first two tracks. Whispers is a beautiful song with awesome guitar solo. A winter's dream (both parts) is nice. This album got also quite bad sounds. I believe Insideout will someday release a remastered version (with bonus tracks
).
The Divine Wings of Tragedy -
I find this the best release from S X (haven't heard a single track from the Odyssey yet). Every track, except the title track, kicks ass. The title track has some excellent moments, like that part when Russell's vocals first come in, but the instrumental parts are quite boring and Romeo's solo sound is too sharp for my taste. And the intro is terrible! The accolade is fantastic, until the solos come in. Those solos doesn't suite to the song so well. And Russell sings beside the note when the "across the seas..." part second time comes in. That makes me wonder why they didn't record a better vocal track to that section. That disturbs me. And that aaa-aaaa part is so horrible, I usually skip that part when listening to the song. In other songs Russell sings much better, especially in Candlelight Fantasia.
Twilight in Olympus -
The most progressive release from the band. Church of the Machine and Trough the Looking Glass are my favourite tracks. This album doesn't have any weak tracks, but the sixth track is a bit boring, though it's not bad.
V -
I don't have much to say about V, I just don't like it.
Live on the Edge of Forever -
What's the point of this release? Why should I listen to this, when the studio albums got better versions of each song. Live CDs are used to be useless, they can't bring the atmosphere of live concerts. Live video would had been much more interesting.
I won't download a single track from the Odyssey. I can spare my listening experiences until I got the album. I believe it would be much better than V.
