03.23.13 | Don't see much love for this band round here
Iconoclasts pretty high up for ya Yazz. Productions really great on it and the guitar tones are
gorgeous but the chuggery gets very exhausting. |
Cipieron
03.23.13 | Iconoclast so high eh? I liked that album.. I just think I would've liked it more if it wasn't a Symphony X album |
mryrtmrnfoxxxy
03.23.13 | forgot this band existed woah |
toxin.
03.23.13 | i remember that one song with the acoustic solo at the end
that's about it tho |
Cipieron
03.23.13 | haha same here for awhile, just threw in The Odyssey last night and remembered how much i like these guys |
Yazz_Flute
03.23.13 | I seem to enjoy Iconoclast more than most...I dunno I just think they do m3t4l really well, and other than a few instances,
it didn't come off as cheesy like most of the heavier elements on Paradise Lost do. |
Cipieron
03.23.13 | ^ i can actually agree with that completely |
OmairSh
03.23.13 | I don't recall the metal elements off Paradise Lost being cheesy, only that it suffered from most of the same "flaws" as Iconoclast, that it was too biased towards standard heavy metal and hence it was too linear. Iconoclast being a double album made it more difficult to complete. "When all is lost" is definitely one their best tracks though. |

03.23.13 | No one agrees with me about Symphony X:
1. Paradise Lost
2. The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
3. Iconoclast
4. The Odyssey
5. V
6. The rest are pretty much equal last |
Yazz_Flute
03.23.13 | Iconoclast didn't vary at all aesthetically, but other than maybe a few tracks like "Heretic" or "Prometheus" I just really enjoyed it. It was the good kind of straight-forward even if it was a bit long. |
Yazz_Flute
03.23.13 | I thought Domination was really cheesy, and I wasn't a fan of the pseudo-harpsichord sound superimposed over the heavy guitar riffs on several of the tracks. |
Yazz_Flute
03.23.13 | I could probably put Twilight in Olympus higher, actually. |
Cipieron
03.23.13 | at least it seems most of us agree that TDWoT is of their top 2 (or 3 at the worst) |
OmairSh
03.23.13 | It's been so long since I've heard PL, forgot the harpischord elements, though that only intrigues me. The guitar tones are usually pretty rich, esp on Iconoclast, but they get very exhausting when only used for heavy riffage. Iconoclasts choruses are fantastic though. Bass should've been higher.
Yeah I see why JS19 |
Yazz_Flute
03.23.13 | There actually probably isn't any harpsichord filter at all so I don't know what I was thinking in my head. |
OmairSh
08.09.13 | Damnation game could have been better |
TheInmortalVermicide
08.09.13 | Not a bad list but 3 should be lower and 4 should be 3. Actually the haters of this band are just
worthless pieces of crap who haven't even heard their album and just say retarded shit like "lol,
power metal". |
Cipieron
08.09.13 | yeah 3 and 4 could easily be switched, that's just how i felt when i made the list |
OmairSh
08.09.13 | "3 should be 4 and 4 should be 3"
Agreed. Yeah they lack a lot of the cheese that comes with power metal, but now these guys are inclining too much towards the metal side |
TheInmortalVermicide
08.09.13 | Saw them months ago, they put a very good live show. Specially the part when they played sea of lies and of sins and shadows was sweet. |
DrHouseSchuldiner
08.09.13 | my ranking is1 The Divine Wings of Tragedy
2 V: The New Mythology Suite
3 The Odyssey
4 Twilight in Olympus
5 Paradise Lost
6 The Damnation Game
7 Iconoclast
8 Symphony X
|
OmairSh
08.09.13 | I think I'll concur with you Dr.
@Verm I'm sure they put a hell of a good show, Jason must be fantastic live |
Snowdog808
01.27.14 | I honestly like the first four of their albums the most, but none of their albums are anywhere near bad in my opinion. The self-titled album does not receive a five from me mostly because of the vocals and fewer keyboard solos. The Divine Wings of Tragedy is my favorite with Miller and the Odyssey is my favorite with Lepond. |
KjSwantko
01.27.14 | I would definitely switch 3 and 4, but otherwise list is perfectly accurate. Old SX progs so hard. |
JS19
01.27.14 | Dude, you use 5s way too easily. love this band as much as anyone but The Damnation Game is not even close to a 5.
|
Friday13th
01.27.14 | Paradise Lost is my fave, but 1 and 2 are very close. I actually like the production/heaviness of PL, and plus it has some of their best songs like STWOF and the title track. |
JS19
01.27.14 | Paradise Lost really is amazing. |
VermTheInquisitor
01.27.14 | Dammnation game is too high |

01.27.14 | Paradise Lost really is amazing. [2] |
