I've heard of them, just I always thought they were some screamo band. :O

Links to some good songs pl0x.

Also, Divine wings is good but it does have anything above the rest of the album.

And Divine wings, the song, has got to be the weakest 20+ minute long metal song ever written.

Walls Of Babylon - Symphony X, best song on Paradise Lost by farrrrrr.

I sort of agree, though I believe Manowar's 'Achilles, Agony and Esctasy in Eight Parts' is worse by quite a margin.
DWoT does have some brilliant moments in it. Mainly the opera bits :P. But yar, I agree that its no Odyssey, ACoS or Octavarium.

V, Paradise Lost and The Odyssey are my favorites.
But The Divine Wings Of Tragedy is a pretty much average album... or at least not one of the best Sympony X albums.

Fucked up here, I meant to say: Divine wings is good but it doesN'T have anything above the rest of theIR albumS.

V, Odyssey and Twilight in Olympus are my three favorite albums, there other four albums are good but only when i'm in the right mood. (Yes I own all seven of there albums)

Too far.

plus paranoid isn't that great of a song, i mean it was like written in the studio.

Paranoid is kind of lame, and also way too overplayed. It has a catchy riff and shit but it gets boring pretty quickly. The rest of that album is much better.

This is false.

Indeed, the whole of Divine Wings is fantastic. I'd go as far as putting it in my list of best metal albums recorded because it's that awesome. I'm surprised how he enjoys their other albums but not so much for Divine Wings. Ghoul would back me up here if he was still around.

What happened to him anyway?

I agree, I prefer all the other songs on the album but Paranoid is still good despite it being overplayed.

On the subject of Divine Wings: totally awesome album.

At 8/26/09 02:17 PM, D3NTATUS wrote: On the subject of Divine Wings: totally awesome album.

I beg to differ, Divine wings by SX is similar to Nightfall In Middle Earth by Blind Guardian.

While both are good albums, they are highly overrated as most people consider them the best albums by those bands when they have better albums.

Divine Wings the song is very mih, the only good parts are the parts with vocals. The instrumental only parts and the intro opera vocals section are veryyyyyyyyy boring.

Of Sins and shadows, Sea Of Lies, Out Of the ashes, Pharaoh, Eyes Of The Medusa and The Witching Hour...while these six songs seem ZOMG ORGASMIC at first, after you listen to them enough times you realize they are nothing special. All SX's albums after Divine Wings have better vocals, better lyrics, better guitar, better drums and better keyboards. (Although the only album that is better at bass than Divine Wings is Paradise Lost, I admit)

It's nothing special compared to V, Odyssey, Twilight In Olympus and to an extent - Paradise Lost.

What do you guys see as so great about the album with the exception of The Accolade and Candlelight Fantasia? (Cause thsoe two songs are great)

Symphony X - Absence Of Light

is this a bad time to say that i also love nightfall in middle-earth?

At 8/26/09 03:50 PM, D3NTATUS wrote: is this a bad time to say that i also love nightfall in middle-earth?

A Night At The Opera, Battalions Of Fear, Follow The Blind and Somewhere Far Beyond are soooooooooooo much better.

i only have follow the blind and middle earth, but i like middle earth way more. follow the blind is still cool though; banished from sanctuary and valhalla are awesome.

I own six BG albums, and i'm going to rank them from most favorite to least favorite:

1.) A Night At The Opera - One of the best albums ever made in my opinion.
2.) Somewhere Far Beyond
3.) Battalions Of Fear
4.) Follow The Blind
5.) Nightfall In Middle Earth
6.) A Twist In The Myth

Can't wait for BG's next album, coming out in February 2010! :D

Go listen to Marduks new song from the up comeing album Wormwood.

Blind Guardian has way better stuff than Nightfall In Middle Earth, besides a Dark Passage and Time Stands still that album is sooooooo mih.

And Divine WIngs is the same way.

Yes, I'm pretty sure he would. It really is one of their best. Out of the Ashes, Medusa, Pharaoh, Of Sins and Shadows, the Accolade, Sea of Lies, the Witching Hour, all awesome stuff. Oh hey, I just listed almost all of the songs on the damn album. Oh yeah, that's because it's one of their best. The title track, I dunno, though. I hardly listen to it.

Sheet, I guess I have heard a lot of DWoT then.

*Stands with the anti-AniMetal folk*

The title track, I dunno, though. I hardly listen to it.

It's not bad by any means. Its just not as good as A Change of Seasons or The Odyysey.

But yeah, I guess Blood Tears is great also.

And by mih I mean "It's great, but for Blind Guardian standards it's mih"

Stop comparing SX to DT, besides the fact SX played several music festivals with DT and DT advertised SX in London, and that they're both prog metal, they have little in common.

or The Odyssey.

Not anywhere close.

Symphony X - Of Sins And Shadows - live version, much better than the album version even if the vocals are pitchy.

It looks like Seth, the rhythm guitarist for Behemoth, but I'm not 100% sure, just an educated guess.

I don't like early BG much. And I haven't listened to ANatO yet but even if its good, Nightfall is still an amazing album and the songs on there are stronger than anything else besides And Then There Was Silence.

They're both Prog Metal. Thats all they need to be comparable. If they sounded the same that would be shite. The differences are good and shouldn't mean you can't compare them.

And they are essentially the same. Long songs, virtuoso performances, operatic vocals, fantasy lyrics.
Thats quite a lot to have in common. Just because the tone and sound is different is what keeps both bands interesting. Otherwise, they're incredibly similar.

And that wasn't even my point of comparison anyway. I was using Dream Theater songs to compare with because Octavarium and A Change of Seasons are probably the two most popular 20 min + songs.

Not anywhere close.

It's not that far behind. It's a very good song. Its just not as good as the others.

awesome guitar riffs and solos that have repeated in my head many times in all the years after I first heard the album, I dig the choruses and the rhythm of the drums, good songwriting in general, I don't really care about lyrics, I don't really remember the title track very well and don't care, etc.

Symphony X has of Sins and Shadows, Out of the Ashes, Sea of Lies, Eyes of Medusa (which has an especially awesome and memorable guitar solo), Pharaoh, Accolade, and Witching Hour. I listened for the first time and was like "wow this shit is awesome" and then I listened for the hundredth time and was like "wow this shit is awesome".

Twilight in Olympus has Church of the Machine.
