I was just being goofy. The Odyssey and V are my 1 and 2, in that order (but VERY close). Then the latest 2 are ranked at 3 and 4, but the order varies depending on my mood. I am not crazy about the pre-V albums and do not rank them.

1. The Odyssey

To be honest, I like V, but I never got the amount of hype it receives.

Me neither until I listened to it again recently and holy crap.
I never realized how good it was when I first heard it. The vast majority of songs on the album are all gems and the atmosphere pulls you in and doesnt ever let you escape until the album is done.
Good riffs and vocals help too.

Divine Wings, V and Odyssey are probably the ones I like the most, but I don't know exactly how I would rank those 3.

I'm glad someone agrees, but porgdrummer, I'll pop it in the car and have a fresh listen.

Nevermore and Without You are now up on Spotify, at least in Finland! Liking the new tune, nothing special but a little Accolade-vibes!

Bolsters · « **Reply #1835 on:** June 19, 2015, 05:55:36 AM »

Not bad, but not really great. I already like it more than Nevermore though.

Deathless · « **Reply #1836 on:** June 19, 2015, 08:18:52 AM »

The band released "Without You" on youtube now as well.

Check it

I like that .

bosk1 · « **Reply #1838 on:** June 19, 2015, 08:32:31 AM »

Hmm...not bad. Could be a grower.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1839 on:** June 19, 2015, 08:44:22 AM »

I checked out most of Symphony X's stuff about 10 years ago, and it didn't do anything for me then. Should I give it another shot now?

bosk1 · « **Reply #1840 on:** June 19, 2015, 09:00:59 AM »

What did you listen to?

I would try one of two things:
1. Listen to The Odyssey (entire album) twice. If that doesn't do it for you, don't bother. They probably aren't for you.
2. Listen to Prelude->Evolution (The Grand Design) from V, preferably while driving. If you can either (1) stay under the speed limit, or (2) deny that this isn't one of the most beastly album openings ever, don't bother. They probably aren't for you.

Scrub206 · « **Reply #1841 on:** June 19, 2015, 09:53:29 AM »

"Without You" is wonderful.

Zydar · « **Reply #1842 on:** June 19, 2015, 02:27:23 PM »

I like it a lot. This is shaping up to be a great album, judging from those two songs so far any way.

Whatever "most of their stuff" was 10 years ago. Pretty sure I remember The Odyssey, and I think V, but I won't swear to it.

I will definitely try 1.

And maybe 2.

wolfking · « **Reply #1845 on:** June 19, 2015, 04:19:14 PM »

A grower, but a good song.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #1846 on:** June 20, 2015, 01:17:51 AM »

A bit diffrent and straight forward. Again so nice hearing Russell sing clean. Love Romeos solo. Pumped for this release.

impressively accurately perfectly advicely.

Really like the new song. Pretty cool that Russell is going back to a more clean style

Zook · « **Reply #1849 on:** June 20, 2015, 03:11:21 AM »

Serious lack of keyboards, but otherwise a good song.

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #1850 on:** June 20, 2015, 03:22:31 AM »

Lack of keyboards? really? I think they´re all over the song. That´s it, I´m sold! It´s going to be a great summer!

PixelDream · « **Reply #1851 on:** June 20, 2015, 06:29:25 AM »

Sounds like one of the more poppier songs they've written yet. I quite like it, but I'm still bummed about the PL/IC production. I liked the band way better without those mechanical sounding drums. And I think Bogren might not even have much to do with it, as his mix for Leprous' new album sounds way more organic.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1852 on:** June 20, 2015, 06:32:03 AM »

bosky, I listened to The Odyssey once through. That was enough for me.

While it is easy to see that these guys are very talented and good at what they do, what they do doesn't resonate with me.

PROGdrummer · « **Reply #1853 on:** June 20, 2015, 09:38:46 AM »

Is anybody else having a hard time finding the singles on iTunes? Im pretty sure theyre supposed to be there since theyre on amazon mp3 and nuclear blast's mp3 download site.
I hate having to load up the youtube videos every time i want to listen to the songs on the road

Bolsters · « **Reply #1854 on:** June 20, 2015, 09:52:42 AM »

No you're right, they don't appear to be on iTunes at all as far as I can tell.

They are on Spotify however and streaming on Spotify Mobile is free now.
