Best album released last year, without question.

:dio:

Yes.

When I heard this for the first time, all I could think is "omg, he fixed his guitar tone - this is now my favorite band"

 

[noodles]

That album was the surprise face crushing of the year. It's like they decided to quit being so prog, and start being anvil-dropping heavy.

:agreed: That's why I wasn't a big fan before. This album, on the other hand, is just amazing.

 

[noodles]

Yep. I could never really get into them until now. It's like they decided they didn't want people calling them prog pussies or something.

Sadly, they pissed off a lot of the prog fans with this one. However, since we have already established that these people are pussies, they should simply go home and apply more Vagisil.

Chris, make sure to catch them when they come your way. They are one of the best live acts I have ever seen. Russ is roughly eight feet tall, and owns that stage like a viking. :metal:

I actually skipped the show not long ago, and Drew went. (Talk about a reversal :lol I didn't like their older, more-proggy stuff.

I've never really checked these guys out. I'm not a fan of what they are doing. That being said, I find it pretty hard to dig on clean vocals in general.

Big opps, since their set on the last tour was 3/4 of the new album. :lol:

I suggest you listen to this.

I could do without the keyboard solos though.

Er, that was for Kev, not Dave. :lol:

Fuck you. :lol:

Ok. :wub: :vince:

'Twas a good show actually... was great to see Epica opening for them too, even though Simone was laid up for a while.

And yeah, the show was like the whole new album with like Inferno and one or two other older songs thrown in.

 

[Professor Squidbeard]

I suggest you listen to this.

YouTube - Symphony X - The Walls of Babylon

I could do without the keyboard solos though.

not bad but still too proggy and snooty for me. i prefer things like

i did give it a go though, so i'll stop derailing this thread now

:spock:
The keyboard solo at about 2:13 is, like, the most awesome thing ever. :lol:

[action=Thomas]loves that fucking solo[/action]

 

[jacksonplayer]

Hey, I like the older, proggy SymX stuff. Guess I'd better go find the Vagisil... :lol:

 

[Ken]

Why are my hands clutching at the air? :lol:

Good stuff.
