Symphony X for micky....


really liked the little I've heard from them..

really disliked the 5 or 6 songs I've heard from Dream Theater... though I did buy an album from them yesterday.. so I'll give them a fair shot.

Dream Theater.  The last two SX albums were fantastic, though.

this has been done at least 8 times, and each time i've voted symphony x--and that's not about to change now. i find dream theater rather dull/uninspiring (except for a few tracks on Train of Thought--that's their only album i actually enjoy [and i'll probably be told off by DTFan#1 for that...and all the other numbers]).
Symphony X i find much more emotionally rousing, with their backing choir arrangements and more intense metal compositions. V: TNMS is a wonderful achievement...
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

Both amazing bands ... but Dream Theater is the top of Prog Metal, and Symphony X is on the second place. And DT is more prog ...

Symphony X creates much better compositions generally, i think. They have some technically weak songs, i accept but even they have a seductive power on me mostly.

D.T. is technically more diverse, excluding the tasteless vocals. But most of their songs don't appeal to my soul.

 
IMO, D.T. will never create an album in the quality of V...
 
In the end, without D.T., i don't know whether S.X. would exist or not. But if yes, their music would have been more different; no one can guess in a positive or negative way. And if no, Michael Romeo's genius would not have remained undiscovered and would be universally accepted in a different project!

Symphony X gives me the runs, but so does most recent DT.



What I think needs to be established is that 'Awake' has been done and neither band will ever do it as good again.

Dream Theater without a doubt.  Symphony X's career just hasn't climbed to the point of Dream Theater's.  Symphony X can't do the same calibur of a live performance and can't produce the depth of an epic Dream Theater can.  Symphony X's albums are weaker than Dream Theater's on a song to song basis.
