stars I really like progressive music. Sometimes I also listen
to progressive rock bands, like Marillion, Transatlantic or
Kansas, but my real passion is the progressive metal. I think
now I know about 100 prog metal bands and one of my first prog
metal bands was Symphony X. They are still my favourites since
such a long time, and all the bands I`m getting to know can't
top them. Their 5th Studio Release is this conceptual
Masterpiece combining nice melodies with complex compositions
and roughness. So it's a perfect blend of Power Metal, Math-Prog
and Progressive Rock. Like just mentioned there are quite
complex bits it's partially exertive, but that abates with the
time. The oftener you listen to it the more you understand this
album and the more you like it. Some critisized that there are
no catchy tunes within this cd, but they're actually wrong
because they're coming with the time.
