V - THE NEW MYTHOLOGY SUITE

By far the best Symphony X album ever to be released, interesting, quaint and a good rock out when in the mood for some good steady metal! Story in the lyrics with great power, and strenght in the melody. Best song by far Egypt along with a few others. Plenty of favorites and good musician ship. Vocals are good, quaint, and heavy. But lets focus on the music mostly. Very complex with great melodies and awsome movements plus the instrumentals are superb and very invigorating when you just want to head bang. Well, at least in Evolution I was feeling pumped enough to want to play the song again! Overall I'd have to give this wonderfull band a 4 star rating, better than odyessy or anything else they've dished out. Plus it's got a wonderful story. Symphony X never caught my attention with their style and I have to be in a certain mood to really listen to them, and the vocals can sometimes no catch my attention. He's a great singer, but for a reason I don't know he's never thrilled me. In anyway I'd suggest this album to any metal fan, even some non-metal fans that can take the power! Heavy, melodic, and fantasitic. 4-stars
