My vote goes to Pain of Salvation.  They have been one of my favorite bands since my formative musical years in high school around the late 90s.

But it really depends on what you're going for... the two really have completely different sounds.  Symphony X has the extravagant, epic neo-classical sound.  Pain of Salvation is more thought provoking, mixes more styles, and tends to push the boundaries a lot more.  I'm with dtismajesty... Pain of Salvation is more progressive in the purest sense of the word.

...don't know what to think about the whole banjo thing though.

"In terms of consistency, Symphony X"
Consistency is often the opposite of progression.  Danny G said himself that Pain of Salvation was not about recreating success, but experimenting and bringing new surprises to their music, which is what "progressive" should be.

Pain of Salvation is highly overrated. I have all albums from both bands, and PoS has yet to impress me at all. Russell Allen is far superior to PoS's vocalist. PoS might as well stand for Piece of sh*t. Symphony X is better in every way.

Pain of Salvation, based on what I've heard. I only have Remedy Lane, and Paradise Lost, respectively, by these two bands. But I am eager to hear more. Any recommendations from X or PoS fans? I'm a big DT fan, and asked a friend 'I want to hear more music like this'. So I discovered PoS and Symphony X. 

Paradise Lost is a good album, in my opinion. However, Remedy Lane is more original. Maybe those two aren't the best ones to compare. I'll have to hear more from both bands.

The only comparison where it is remotely close is vocalists, and DG still wins for his superior power, versatility, and range.  PoS is so much more innovative and unique, and lyric-wise PoS wins by more than a mile (I won't even bring up BE) music you can REALLY feel (I've nearly cried to Vocari Dei, Song for the Innocent, Kingdom of Loss, etc.)

I personally find that to be an extremely overrated album. I recommend you hear The Divine Wings of Tragedy next (that's my favorite from them).


Gee, I would, except that's one of the albums that failed to impress me. Although, I did remember enjoying 'The Accolade'. But the album on the whole just sounds like lots of neoclassical shredding to me. I may well be missing out on the essence of their music.

I discovered both bands at around the same time and I really liked both of them.  Remedy Lane and Be are superb albums and of course I had to track down the rest of their albums.  To the same extent I thought that Odyssey and V: The New Mythology Suite were both wonderful albums, and I had to track down the rest of their discography as well.  With both bands I was really pleased with what I found.  Unfortunately, after discovering both bands, Pain of Salvation released Scarsick Dead and Symphony X released Paradise Lost Dead and I had my 2 most disappointing releases of 2007.  That being said my vote goes to Pain of Salvation.]]> Thu, 23 Jul 2009 09:51:15 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59779&PID=3319911#3319911 Pain of Salvation vs. Symphony X : Originally posted by FieldofsorrowPoS... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59779&PID=3319908#3319908 Author: J-Man

I personally find that to be an extremely overrated album. I recommend you hear The Divine Wings of Tragedy next (that's my favorite from them).

...and PoS rock the house, no doubt there. Originality, new sound, great verstatility which is what Symphony X lacks.

One mediocre album is still better than the many mediocre albums coming from Symphony XWink
