"Out Of Myself" is one of my all time favourites (as in like top 5). I like the others; Be has some cool songs on it, and the title track of The Odyssey is a really badass epic. But they don't come close, Riverside is magic.

I'll go with SX but Pain of Salvation is also one of my favourite so that was hard.

Out of Myself always feels a little anonymous, The Odyssey only has one good track (the title track), but whilst Be has it's flaws it's the best of these three.

Riverside followed by Symphony X, not really a big fan of "Be".

Easily the Riverside one for me, in some ways their less-metal debut is my favourite album from them! Hmmm, haven't played that in almost a year, might dig it out when I get home!

'Be' by a city mile.
Its got some flops and but the good parts are pretty darn good and at least its unique (although I'm not sure what Daniel was on when he made the concept for this album)
Out Of Myself is good for a prog metal album and I can't stand Symphony X for more than like 13 seconds.

Out of Myself is amazing
Symphony X is OK when I am in the mood
I find 'Be' to be one of the most annoying albums I've ever listened to.

OOM most certainly.
Of course I haven't heard the others (well, maybe listened to SX one time), but I can't imagine they'd be better than the Riverside debut.

Riverside shades it although the Symphony X is close.

I like all three albums, but I'll vote for Riverside Out of Myself.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Symphony X
I feel Riverside is vast;y overrated- but I know I'm in the minority there...
I love POS- but that may be their worst album...(Scarsick is close)
