Review title: Best album from Symphony X
Product review: I wasn't quite sure how to rate this album going into the review. I mean, I've listened to all of Symphony X's albums, and I think without a doubt this is the best one. The opening to "Of Sin and Shadows" is great...nice and thrashy and then moving into a great keyboard sound. Also, the songs are varied quite a bit, unlike "V", in which I thought all the songs had a certain sameness to them. The first 3 minutes of "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" are one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard.On the down side, the lyrics can be a bit cheesy (but not as cheesy as on "V"). Also, the solo sections are quite predictable after awhile....guitar then keyboard then guitar then keyboard.I don't like the endless comparisons everyone has been giving to Dream Theater, so I won't include one at all. All in all, this is a great album within the progressive/symphonic metal genre.
