Yeah, same.

Btw, you should probably a) keep this in your sig and b) make a post in the SX thread, because quite a few people that might be potential voters might not come to this sub-forum every day.

the only Symphony X album I don't have, so I won't participate in this one, but I will for the rest.

I just started getting into these guys so I won't be very active. But count me in for V and the Odyssey :D

You need to listen to The Divine Wings Of Tragedy. Their best album tbh.

I have the first two albums, but never listen to them. So I'll sadly have to sit the first to albums out.


But I'll be in after that.


....till the last album, never got that one either.

You've probably heard that pretty often, but I really, really recommend The Damnation Game. It features some of Symphony X's best melodic and proggy stuff, alone The Edge of Forever is worth the price of the album, and there's really no bad track on that album.

Huge fan of the band, but I found listening to this disc was a grinder.  Into the Dementia.  Thanks for doing this survivor Lolzeez!

Obvious choice.  Never could get into this album, and there is a couple of really terrible songs.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Taunting The Notorius is also quite bad. Would have went for that but Into The Dementia has literaly nothing to offer.

You're right. The song is alright. I was thinking of Rapture Or Pain.

Early bass work (not a slight to LePond, he's great as well) in Symphony X in general is amazing. What is Thomas Miller doing now I wonder...

Upon re-listening, it's not THAT bad of an album.  I wonder how many of us (anyone?) heard this album first from S-X?  I think the fact that we are incredibly spoiled with Allen, and a few of the albums in general, make this album such a drastic under-performer in their catalog, that it's deemed as 'crap'.

Oh I've heard it a few times, just never really stuck with me. Outside of V, I'm not too huge into Symphony X. I like The Odyssey, Divine Wings and to a lesser extent Twilight, but the rest are just kind of meh to me.
