Album Review

By the time Symphony X recorded Twilight in Olympus, the progressive metal landscape had not only been changed, but defined by Dream Theater. Every genre has a Beatles, and as silly a comparison as it is, Dream Theater has had an equal, albeit smaller-scale impact on almost every progressive metal band that existed before or since their arrival. In this case, the influence on Symphony X is exactly what the band needed after reaching their neo-classical pinnacle on The Divine Wings of Tragedy. The band is as tight as ever and their sound is still predominantly neo-classical, but there is more diversity and originality here than ever before. Michael Romeo finally carved out his own style with an unmistakable thick, heavy sound and his strong sense of rhythm is what sets him apart from his contemporaries and contributes to the many memorable riffs herein. Of the selections, "Through the Looking Glass" is the session's epic piece and compares favorably to "The Divine Wings of Tragedy," while "Sonata" and "Lady of the Snow" showcase the band's more reflective side. While not as historically important as The Divine Wings of Tragedy, Twilight in Olympus is musically equivalent.

Customer Reviews

Incredible as usual

People skim over the old Symphony X works. Twilight has some of the most amazing musicianship you'll ever hear, but is overshadowed so much by SX's new work. Get this album, you will not be disappointed. My personal favorite.

Eargasm

My friend came up with a saying. If you listen to a amazing song you may have a Eargasm. I asked him what it meant, and he said that it was when your ears just love a song to much and exploud with pure happiness. I said that was the stupidest thing I have have ever heard...until I listened to In The Dragons Den. I acually scared my friends because I was laughing/crying/dieing/explouding/smiling/loving when I heard this song. Trust me this is there best album, by a lot. BUY IT OR ILL CURSE YOUR SOUL FOR ALL ETERNITY!

symphony x-twilight in olympus

I went through i tunes just browsing through progressive metal acts, and I remembered hearing some of Symphony X's newer albums in the early 2000's and really liked the" Odyssey "material ,and out of the blue today I decided to give "Twilight In Olympus" a listen and was instantly blown away by the big riffs right out of the gate. I'm glad I finally decided to give there slightly older stuff a fair shot. "No Regrets Indeed, Go get it!!!"
