    Symphony X Forum - A couple announcements

    I registered on UM solely for this forum 10 years ago, around the same time as the Odyssey was released. The band has changed a lot since then, and I have probably been part of the growing negativity toward just that and the decline of prog metal in general. I've never flamed anyone or anything...

    good review although I think swan song is the best one. "meandering", "without cohesion" could be applied to any song on the album.

    Swansong is by far the least plain song on the album.

    I think it's their weakest effort. Nothing memorable. Lacks strong melodies, especially from the keyboards which sometimes feel unnecessarily prominent at times (when it's just chords and layers). Riffs feels like it's all chugga-chugga-chugga. Good guitar playing but that truly counts for...

    Symphony X - Nevermore

    decent verses, mediocre chorus. it's just a single. metal singles are always the worst. still got some hope for the full album!

    "It was about the progression of the whole record. It speeds up here and then it dips down here. It all makes sense together, it all works together and it all flows together." Sounds pretty interesting to me. Not a fan of the cover art; but who cares in this day and age.

    There's an album called A Forest Of Stars - Beware The Sword You Cannot See which is getting a lot of hype. It's alright with the exception of some really stupid Bal-Sagoth'ian talking in the songs. Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire is another one. Techy metal. Not really my cup, but decent for...

    Honestly the new Nightwish is actually decent as far as that sort of music goes. Definitely their best effort. Too bad about the cringy Dawkins parts... I gave Ghost Bath a spin but it was a little too slow for my taste. It's like Deafheaven without the speed. The new Sigh is a bit of a let...
