Review title: A Disappointing Album But I Cannot Figure Out Why
Product review: After all the hype, after all the glowing reviews about how this album is supposedly one of the great prog metal/neoclassical releases ever, I finally picked up Symphony X's The Divine Wings of Tragedy.Boy, what a let-down. It just did not "grab" me in any way. All the ingredients are there to make this a great album from the Dio-like vocals, and very Malmsteen-like guitar and the Queen-ish vocal harmonies and Dream Theater sound but when it comes right down to it, I didn't like this album.I'm not the biggest fan of neoclassical metal but I do like progressive metal minus the technical over-the-topness many so-called "prog metal" bands indulge in. The funny thing is that Symphony X's technical indulgences are, for the most part, tasteful (except for the keyboards that are a bit too much at times), I should have liked this album. But I didn't and I still can't figure it out. All the ingredients are there. Hey, maybe it was the songs. Who knows?
