What's with that live (not LOTEOF) album? Quality knowledge anyone?

Iconoclast the song will be a great intro to the album.

Giving The End of Innocence a spin right now. Good shit. Changes absolutely nothing, doesn't break any new ground, but I wasn't expecting it to. Great song.

Edit: I'd like to add for Bosky that it was uploaded to Youtube by the label.

bosk1 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 10, 2011, 11:58:08 AM »

That's fine. But I'm watching. Always watching...

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #45 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:14:59 PM »

and torching moods...you symphony x orgasm killer.

EDIT...I'm at work and haven't even heard the sampels.

Dublagent66 · « **Reply #46 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:20:01 PM »

I saw them in concert on May 11th and it was awesome! I expect the new album to be no less awesome.

jsem · « **Reply #47 on:** June 10, 2011, 12:42:29 PM »

I'm gonna wait til the album hits the stores. It's just a week.

OsMosis2259 · « **Reply #48 on:** June 10, 2011, 01:29:40 PM »

Mine should be here in like a week hopefully!

Still haven't heard anything but the two singles

gazinwales · « **Reply #49 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:49:03 PM »

The title track is classic SX.
A return to the progressive sounds of tDWoT/TiO, with the more modern aggressive vocals of recent releases.

jsem · « **Reply #50 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:50:17 PM »

I wanna listen to it so badly... I'm gonna go to the record store tomorrow or something and ask if they'll actually get it the 17th.

Vajra · « **Reply #51 on:** June 10, 2011, 04:22:23 PM »

God I wish I could hear this album already. This next week or so is going to be a tough wait.

New interview with Russell Allen. Notably, he mentions that The End of Innocence was written about social networking.

Wow, that's fucking awesome. You'd NEVER guess that by just reading the lyrics.

gazinwales · « **Reply #54 on:** June 10, 2011, 04:59:08 PM »

Seriously this is a massive return to the classic SX chunky prog metal sound that hasn't been in evidence for quite a few albums now.

This album is going to be fantastic, I cannot wait.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #57 on:** June 11, 2011, 12:13:31 AM »

Oh my fucking shit I'm going to hear it in a few minutes.

NecessaryPain · « **Reply #58 on:** June 11, 2011, 06:37:36 AM »

Fucking awesome album.

The PL haters will no doubt place their hate on most of the songs, but fuck them. This album is killer.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #59 on:** June 11, 2011, 01:23:47 PM »

The awesome sauce part is I'll probably get this by next Friday or Saturday before the actual release date b/c CM Distro is great about shipping pre-orders.

The crappy part is that I'm getting 26 other CDs in that order, including the new Amorphis, the two new Devin Townsend project, the new Turisas...so this album better bring it if it wants heavy rotation.

This wait is gonna suck!

I've listened to the album, and as a SymX fan, I thought it was terrible.

The songs/riffs/solos/everything sounds EXTREMELY similar to each other, and I swear there were a few times that I heard riffs from past songs. Guitar solo's were unremarkable and sounded like he was trying to get the most notes out in 30 seconds. The songs in themselves honestly just sounded very bland and boring, and I can't bring myself to want to listen to any of it again.

I have absolutely nothing against Symphony X, and I've loved all of their previous albums, including PL. But this has to be the worst in their lineup.

And now you can all hate me.

I hate you for discussing the new material

Don't worry, he's wrong

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #64 on:** June 12, 2011, 02:06:19 PM »

Tried to like it but had to turn it off after the first song. Ah well, not every release can be a stellar one right?

jsem · « **Reply #65 on:** June 12, 2011, 02:23:05 PM »

I've heard similar criticism on the SX forums. But I'm gonna wait til I actually listen to the record b4 judging.

Are you new to the band or you familiar with their early material?

I would give the album a chance rather than only listening to the first song and then saying that you dont like it... I mean SX is a prog metal band after all.

lol you have got to be kidding. Iconoclast is the best opening song they've ever done and an instant SX classic.

I understand people saying a lot of the songs are heavy and similar etc, but SX have changed as a band. They're doing what they want to do. And personally, I love it.

Stand-outs are When All Is Lost and Iconoclast. Really digging Reign In Madness and Children of a Faceless God as well.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #68 on:** June 12, 2011, 06:52:33 PM »

I can't sit through the whole thing. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for it yet, or maybe I legitimately don't like it. I feel similarly about this one and V.

Last time I'll say it. Posts have been deleted. If people keep discussing where they got leaks, rating leaked songs, etc., the bans will start coming out.
