YES this is the news that I was hoping

Redragon · « **Reply #246 on:** November 18, 2009, 12:04:42 AM »

Symphony X is an amazing band. They have some truly "epic" songs and I considered them up with Dream Theater in terms of good quality music.
Can't wait for the next CD. I really hope they go back to more of their progressive stuff and not more of their heavy stuff like from Paradise Lost.

I'd totally dig an album even heavier than PL.

But looks like i'm the only one who feels that way

Zook · « **Reply #248 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:51:07 AM »

I'm all for a heavier album, but I'd also like to hear more songs like The Accolade with Russell's softer singing.

Yeah, I always thought Accolade I and II were some of SX's best work.

Awesome, hopefully it's as good or better than Paradise Lost.

Hell yeah!

Personally, I'd rather see them strive towards a sound heard in Through the Looking Glass and The Divine Wings of Tragedy.

With Nuclear Blast (depending howm uch the label will affect the music), the sound will most likely stay heavy (Paradise Lost-heavy)

That's a shame.

Forgot to bump for Consolation

Go vote in P/S

And I really want some news about the new album. It's been over a month since anything else has been said

glaurung · « **Reply #260 on:** January 02, 2010, 03:47:06 AM »

Here's the latest news from the SX forum:

Quote

Just got off the phone with MJR; he wishes everyone a Happy New Year and reports that the writing of the new cd is progressing well. He says that the riffs are written and all the ideas are there, they're just trying different arrangement ideas right now. We talked about how we're back to the usual routine of trying to find new ways to say the same old 'the band is writing the cd', and he said "It's hard to say. Every day is different, we're just doing our thing & trying to make the tunes cool. You put something together one day and then come back the next day & listen to it; sometimes it's cool, & sometimes it sucks & you have to change things around." They're still hoping to be done with the cd by spring.

So it definitely sound like we're getting the album in the spring.

A Fool's Paradise has to be one of my favorite SX songs now...I never gave this album a whole lot of listening before, but man this song especially kicks ass.

Yeah that solo and unison is just unbelievable. V will always be my favourite album of theirs

According to Michael Romeo yes there is. It's probably going to sound a lot like Paradise Lost since he said their going to be using a lot of ideas they couldn't fit onto PL.

Terrible news. I want them to do original proggy stuff instead of generic metal leftovers from PL

Well, that doesn't mean that it's going to be all metal. Who knows? The stuff that wasn't used could have been more progressive. I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear the album, but I actually liked Paradise Lost, so I don't care either way

InTheNameOfGod · « **Reply #271 on:** January 18, 2010, 04:15:55 AM »

PL was the best album of 2007, bitches.

AwakeFromOctavarium · « **Reply #272 on:** January 18, 2010, 04:49:55 AM »

I love the intro to The Odyssey(the song). I hope Dream Theater works on something like that.

abydos · « **Reply #273 on:** January 18, 2010, 07:59:20 AM »

I hope not. They'll make it needlessly long most likely (Overture).

Birch Boy · « **Reply #274 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:47:19 PM »

First listen to Symphony X right now. Listening to The Odyssey. Good so far (I'm on "Accolade II"). I'm excited for "The Odyssey" though since I recently read The Odyssey. What album should I go to next?

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #275 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:48:20 PM »

If you want metal that's going to crush your soul into a fine powder, go with Paradise Lost. If you want the awesome album with another 20 minute epic, go with Divine Wings of Tragedy.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #276 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:50:07 PM »

I say you listen to Twilight in Olympus. My second favorite SX album, and the one that got me into them.

Does PL have harsh vocals or something? What do you mean by soul-crushing metal? If you meant something similar to Train Of Thought compared to DT's discography then I'd probably go to that one.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #278 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:52:40 PM »

The vocals on PL aren't any more harsh than The Odyssey. It's generally freakishly heavy, really fast, and just, well, soul-crushing. It's the heaviest stuff they've done, and it is amazing.

Birch Boy · « **Reply #279 on:** January 22, 2010, 09:55:23 PM »

Alright well then that sounds like it'll cater to my musical interests more. Although, I am immensely looking forward to "The Odyssey" (on "King Of Terrors" right now). What is the rest of the other epic-containing album like, and also, sonatafanica, what's the one you recommended like?
