I like Twilight in Olympus a little better than this, but not by a lot. This has no Through the Looking Glass, so that's what gives TiO the edge over it.

Besides the first two tracks and ttlg, TiO is a tad boring, IMO.

V is my favorite as it is their most cohesive. You really feel how it's a concept album from the beginning to the end. A lot of people prefer The Divine Wings of Tragedy though, which is my second favorite. It's really a matter of personal preference. V is more melodic in sound I'd say, whereas DWOT is more progressive.

I can only handle so much prog with my metal so looks like I'm starting at the right place. Evolution rips

V is a very well thought-out album nontheless. Its individual songs are pretty straight-forward for the most part, but there are recurring themes and stuff. It's another form of progressiveness. Not as flashy but still intelligent.

Ok cool it doesn't wank too hard. A lot of DTs stuff is too much for me

Yeah, I get where you come from - Symphony X have never been on that level of senseless showing off, fortunately. Until this album, at least.

Symphony X are generally better songwriters than Dream Theater.

Yes, definitely, agreed.

The Divine Wings is a prime example of how to do a 20 minute prog metal epic.

Yeah, they were very good at songwriting. V is the pinnacle of that.



When you are finished with it you can go either with TDWoT (more melodic/symphonic/bombastic) or The Odyssey (more heavy/thrashy and less symphonic)

Cool thanks for the advice. Other than queensryche and savatsge i haven't given prog metal a chance

Fates Warnings is also good, but their albums are divisive: Some are more prog/rock, some others more thrashy, some more heavy metal; so it's hard to recommend one as their best.

Seventh Wonder and Evergrey are worth a shot too.

I'd say V is their most diverse album that represents every aspect of the band's sound
