I was kinda dissapointed with the album, but it's not crap. I hoped better things after 4 years without new material (and The Odyssey which was fantastic).
It just seems very Heavy Metal formulaic, and not the adventurous SX we know. What is more, I don't know where Pinalla is on the record! Confused Too much in your face guitar riffing. LOL
 
Probably, my expectations were too high, a similar thing happened to me with new DT.

Devine Wings and then The Odyssey... and V.
Devine Wings is more powerful especially more wicked vocally than Odyssey and V...

I consider "V" to be their best, followed by "The Odyssey".

Agree that Paradise Lost was a real letdown.  I'm also in the minority that doesn't really love "Divine Wings"

I rather enjoyed Paradise Lost, but The Odyssey still trumps it....sorry, I just really like that album Embarrassed and I'm the only person that I know of who was slightly disappointed with Divine Wings (great title track and good enough album but not as good as everyone cuts it out to be)

   Frankly I got bored  with Symphony X type of progressive metal, but I'm just writing here to recommend a side project of Russel Allen with Jorn Lande - Allen-Lande. There are two albums, I listened only to the first one, entitled" the Battle". The album was a success because they released a second album "The revenge' - i Have to listen to it because i enjoyed the first one a lot.

I began appreciating Paradise Lost after the 5th spin ... your action might have been premature. Tongue
