Hello everyone!

The Opeth Survivors is finishing up and as with Opeth, a Symphony X's survivor hasn't been done since 2012 and there seems to enough interest, so I present to you the Symphony X survivor! 9 studio albums have been made, so let's get it started as soon Opeth dwindles down!

-Symphony X (1994)
-The Damnation Game (1995)
-The Divine Wings of Tragedy (1997)
-Twilight in Olympus (1998)
-V: The New Mythology Suite (2000)
-The Odyssey (2002)
-Paradise Lost (2007)
-Iconoclast (2011)
-Underworld (2015)

There are a total of 87 songs. Two songs will go to the finals and one song from each album shall go to consolations. Get ready!

I can join, but I don't really know the first two albums well enough and Twilight in Olympis could be trouble as well. I do know all other albums though.

(V is the best one. Go Communion!!)
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

Yeap, count me in!

V is my number two with Paradise Lost in first and The Odyssey at third.
But I agree that Communion is the best song with Evolution (The Grand Design) and Rediscovery (Part 2) Falling it closely.

V is easily my least favorite album of theirs aside from the debut, though Communion is one of my favorite SX songs.  :)

Many of my opinions on this band are rather controversial, so this will be an interesting survivor.
Only a prog fan would try to measure how much they enjoy a song by an equation. :lol
My anime can beat up your anime.

I will never say that it's a bad album, 'cause it isn't, but I never really got into V. More drama incoming in the survivor, then  ;D
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!
