	Symphony X - The Odyssey
		Symphony X are at their most mentally stimulating to listen to when their use of timing is at its most interesting or technical.
		The timing alterations that Symphony X used on the verses of Accolade II are actually annoying when you have heard the original song, as the chorus seemed to sound the best on the original version of the song with their original timing.
		Symphony X are an intelligent band, (at least they used to - and hopefully will continue to - write fairly intelligent worlds and music), and although it doesn’t indicate intelligence immediately, it is nice to see that some of the band members read.

	Symphony X
		Symphony X hail from New Jersey, USA and were founded there in April 1994.
		Although the album immediately made a big impression on fans of the progressive metal scene all over the world and achieved excellent reviews in Japan, the band still considers it a "demo" and thus, went back into the studio to refine their songwriting abilities and production ideas.
		Symphony X - "V" was released in Japan in July and immediately reached number 46 on the national charts.

	Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
		Diatribe aside, this album (named "V," I assume, because this is the fifth studio release by the band, and after the importance of the number five throughout the lyrics of the album), is simply one of the best albums I have ever been fortunate enough to own and listen to.
		"V" is a concept album, a fictional opus that chronicles the rise and fall of the Atlantean Empire, and the subsequent rise of the ancient Egyptian Empire from the ashes.
		The only band that can top Symphony X in terms of impossible musical skill is Dream Theater, but while they might be able to pull off more impressive technical feats and tandem solos, Symphony X is much more consistent in their technicality.

		For the better part of the past decade, New Jersey’s Symphony X have been wowing international audiences with their modern take on neo-classical metal.
		On their sixth album (and first for the US division of the venerable Eurometal label Inside Out), the band continue to wed Dream Theater’s harmonic and conceptual rigor to Pantera’s primal stomp.
		The subject matter is appropriately ambitious: the album takes its name from Homer’s epic, and "The Odyssey" closes the disc with 24 minutes of hair-raising riffs on the high seas with Odysseus.

	-=The Edge of Forever=- Official Symphony X Website
		Their debut album "Symphony X" was released in early '95 and left a big impression on fans of the progressive genre.
		The reactions to this album exceeded those of the first record and the band realized they were on the right track.
		At the end of '96 Symphony X started to work on "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy", to this date to be considered a classic in its genre.

		On initially hearing this album I thought that Romeo's guitar playing, and his solos in particular, were generally better than in V, though V is a more focussed album and is themed, whereas DWOT is one of Symphony X's albums where the imagination floodgates were thrown open, with a new concept for each song.
		Symphony X themselves are actually some of the main proponents of this album being their first 'true' album, as they opined this in more than one interview.
		Even back in their debut album, Symphony X showed precocious promise with the excellent epic 'A Lesson Before Dying', but TDWOT is from a more developed band now that it is their third album, and the quality of the epic song is outstanding.

	Through Different Eyes : Symphony X : Twiligt in Olympus
		I'm talking about "The Divine Wings of Tragedy", the previous release from Symphony X. With that album they showed the world how music shall be done.
		Following the path explored in their 3 previous albums, Symphony X ventures further in their own unique definition of neo-classical (speed) metal.
		Symphony X fulfilled it brilliantly, even if the style underwent some slight shifts.

	Symphony X (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Symphony X is the first album by the band of the same name.
		Many Progressive Metal and Symphony X fans consider this to be their least appreciated album, due to relatively poor production and the lack of Russell Allen, whom with Michael Romeo would define the "Symphony X" sound.
		A reissue of the album was released in 2004, however, all the original tracks remained untouched.

	Paradise Lost (Symphony X album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paradise Lost is the upcoming seventh studio album by progressive metal band Symphony X.
		It was announced that they would release the album in late 2006, but that information has since been changed to early 2007.
		In August 2006, some preliminary cover art was leaked on the internet, confirming suspicions that the title of the album would be the same as the epic song contained within.

	Blistering.com :: Music :: Reviews :: Symphony X - The Odyssey
		That is all about to change, as Symphony X has finally released something to match Iced Earth’s unchallenged reign on the top of the heap.
		With their sixth album ‘The Odyssey’, Symphony X have gone for an overall heavier sound, with guitarist Michael Romeo providing some edgier riffs, and vocalist Russell Allen keen to compete with a Dio like range and emphasis on phrasing.
		Symphony X's music is complex, challenging, but still retains the simple creed of riffs and choruses will never go out of fashion.

	Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Symphony X - Odyssey
		Even though it is approaching ten years since the release of Symphony X's self-titled debut CD, only in the last few years has the majority of the metal underground come to be familiar with this progressive metal quintet.
		It has been two years since then, and Symphony X are once more showing the world that they are a musical force to be reckoned with.
		One song that doesn't live up to the standards of the rest of the album is "The Accolade II," a sequel to "The Accolade" from the album "The Divine Wings of Tragedy." This song is the lightest to be found on "The Odyssey," and probably the least technical as well.

	InsideOut Music America
		Symphony X relates the Greeks’ episode with a Cyclops (‘The Eye’), the temptations of the Sirens' song (´Sirens`), their conquest of Circe (´Circe – Daughter Of The Sun`), a perilous sea journey (´Scylla And Charybdis`) and finally the hero’s return home, with all its bloody consequences (´The Fate Of The Suitors / Champion Of Ithaka`).
		In the Fall of ‘96 their third installment, The Divine Wings Of Tragedy, Symphony X became an international sensation, garnering top marks with the European press and lofty positions in the annual Readers’ Polls in the most important metal mags throughout Germany, France and Italy.
		Symphony X is mentioned in the same mesmerizing, technically proficient breath as contemporaries like Dream Theater, Savatage and Transatlantic because of the superior quality of their music, as well as the superlative talents of band members Michael Romeo, singer Russell Allen, drummer Jason Rullo, keyboardist Michael Pinella and bass player Michael Lepond.

	Symphony X interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		As it usually happens, trying to be a mean to express all his creative potential, Symphony X commenced its run: together with Jason Rullo on the drums, Michael Pinella at the keyboards, Thomas Miller at the bass guitar, and Rod Tyler at the vocals.
		So we did the 3rd album, and the same kind of thing happened with the tour after that: we had problems with the drummer, we substituted drummers, and by the time we find a new drummer it was already July.
		All members in Symphony X might be considered by separate like masters of their respective instruments I suppose.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : V (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		There's even enough interest where an American label has given Symphony X the chance to work their magic on listeners in the States.
		V also makes me think that this album is just the latest stop in the musical journey that is Symphony X - and that if you haven't heard their previous albums, it's like coming into a movie halfway through.
		Maybe some of the band's fans who have the earlier albums can back me up on this, but I'd tend to think that V is a disc which can only be fully appreciated by someone who is familiar with all of Symphony X's work.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by Symphony X keyboard player Michael Pinnella called Enter By The Twelfth Gate
		It has been more than two years since the release of the last Symphony X album (The Odyssey / 2002), and it seems that the members of the band are finding it quite difficult to tame their creative cravings.
		Before you start making scenarios of departure from Symphony X (which normally happens when a musician decides to go solo), I urge you to listen to "Enter By The Twelfth Gate" first — believe me that all the answers that you need are right there.
		It is true that I am a big fan of Symphony X and that I really admire their work on "The Odyssey", but I normally expect more things from the solo efforts of these very talented artists.

	Amazon.com: Odyssey: Music: Symphony X (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		This is Symphony X after a Pantera binge, and while it may be heavier than this kind of music usually gets, it's nice to see Symphony X emphasizing the "metal" in progressive metal.
		The bottom line: Fans of Symphony X should love this, but be sure to give it a little time if the slightly different style doesn't strike a chord with you right away.
		This is my first symphony x album it seems like this is the only album of them they they have on the CD shelves.

	Symphony X
		An album that was truly unexpected from a Rock band, and for that matter, a Metal band.
		I believe this album is both a guidepost, and a measuring stick for bands which seek to achieve higher levels of creativity in the world of Art Rock.
		The composers in Symphony X require a medium in which they can freely express their Art, which is the equivalent of their emotional states.

	Metal-Rules.com: Interview with Micheal Romeo of Symphony X
		Hailing from New Jersey, Symphony X have been cranking out high quality neo-classical, progressive metal since 1994 when band leader and guitarist Michael Romeo joined forces with keyboardist Michael Pinnella, bassist Tom Miller, drummer Jason Rullo and vocalist Rod Tyler.
		There are some things that are kind of different on this album, than on previous Symphony X releases.
		They were like, "No, no, Symphony X not a garage band." [Both laugh.] Back then, as far as the business stuff goes, I didn't know too much back then.

		Vocalist Russell Allen from the famed band Symphony X has decided to expand his repertoire by releasing a solo side-project entitled Russell Allen’s Atomic Soul.
		He did of course lean on a few of his friends with guitarist Michael Romeo and keyboardist Michael Pinella of Symphony X and had a surprise addition with Jens Johansson of Stratovarius on the keys for the title track as well.
		This album isn’t nearly as progressive in nature as it is heavy metal.

		Accolade is one of my absolute favourite Symphony X tracks so a sequel must be pretty damn genius if it is to live up the first one.
		Although I have loved and their previous albums ('V' and 'TDWoT') I think that this is their best work of all time and perhaps the best progressive metal albums, along with 'A Pleasant Shade of Gray' and 'Images and Words'.
		Symphony X sucks, only their first album is good, after R.Allen came, they are only going down...

		By reaching this important milestone, the bands are able to bring their show to the fans that have stood behind them as well as the new recruits that help make this slow expansion possible.
		For Symphony X, landing the support slot for the eagerly anticipated Blind Guardian tour was no small victory.
		Like the last album - which was the whole concept and one whole big story - we pretty much had to outline a lot of the lyrics before any of the music was done just so we knew what we were doing.

	The Odyssey - Symphony X - Song Listings
		Symphony X is certainly an anomaly: an '80s-style fantasy metal band who came along in 1994 (after Nirvana and Pearl Jam's success had seriously rearranged the rock landscape) and ended up acquiring a loyal Gen-X following (especially in Europe).
		From the conceptual lyrics to the Euro-classical influence to the elaborate arrangements and melodies, The Odyssey is a 2002 release that wouldn't have been out of place in 1985.
		That isn't to say that The Odyssey is in a class with Operation: Mindcrime; however, it is a respectable effort that will likely please those who have enjoyed Symphony X's previous releases.
