I'm not here to review this album. I'm want to say that in my opinion, this IS an essential album for any prog-metal fan to own. It marks the point where Symphony X found their path. After this album, everything started to fall into place very nicely. Look what they've ended up with: Paradise Lost, The Odyssey, and now Iconoclast.

That being said, viewing it from a critical point of perspective, it is NOT a masterpiece, and is not going get five stars from me. It is an extremely well written album, though. Very few albums I've listened to are perfect masterpieces.

This is a very underrated album, and I would just like to say, don't miss listening to this album. The Damnation Game is the turning point of one of, if not THE most important progressive metal bands ever.
