I've also heard an advance copy and this is, by far, the best album
Symphony X have produced in terms of the production quality and
whatnot. The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of long
songs - in the Odyssey, for instance, the eponymous title track clocks
in at almost twenty-five minutes and is by all standards, a
progressive epic. "Paradise Lost" is good, but I was hoping for the
title track to be slightly longer than what it is!! This album draws
more from Symphony X's power metal influences more than its
progressive influences. Still a great album though, I hope to catch
them live someday.
