Title: Symphony X Survivor - Paradise Lost - Round 1
Post by: IDontNotDoThings on February 05, 2018, 07:43:13 PM
Round 1 of the Paradise Lost survivor. In this division of the survivor, we decide which songs from this album will go on to the finals & consolations. This album placed 5th in the album survivor, so the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place songs will go on to the finals, with 4th going to consolation, where it'll have an extra chance to accompany it in the finals. For this round, vote for the track you want to go to the finals the least. If you don't care about voting &/or haven't heard all of the albums but still want to know the current results, select "(see results without voting)". You cannot see the results otherwise & once you have voted, you cannot change your vote. Round lasts 24 hours.

We begin the Paradise Lost survivor, which is definitely one of my favourites from this band, even coming close to TDWOT for me. I think this album has tons of great heavy songs & also just the right amount of beautiful songs so that it never becomes stale no matter how many times you listen. I usually try not to just go for the interludes first without reason (I go by the logic of "I'd rather listen to an interlude than a bad song"), but with a selection of songs this strong, I don't really have much other choice.

Oculus of course.

Indeed.

And - maybe since this is a concept album the story needed the proper songs in the proper order, but... am I the only one annoyed that there's a track called Seven, which lasts seven minutes, and is track #8?  :lol
