Symphony X may be cheesy, but I find Divine Wings much more entertaining than In Absentia - an album whose appeal I never fully understood (as my review of it makes it quite clear).

Mr. LaCheese in disguise here. That really ugly vowels all over the place style of hair metal singing. Didn't make me think much tbh.
 
That's a curious criticism. Allen doesn't sound anything like LaBrie and I don't remember bad vowel modifications as such on that album, at least not of LaBrie level. If anything I think Allen under-expresses and sounds kind of cold and distant though not as much as Mr Roboto Wilson. LaBrie on the other hand overemotes to a degree that would make Mariah Carey blush.

Porcupine Tree, In Absentia.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Wow ... 2nd time the Carpenters have made it onto these hallowed pages in the last 24 hours. Why only yesterday, that supposed wild man of the jungle Micky professed his hidden passion. Of lord, what is to become of us. Barry Manilow ?




LOL  NEVER!!



I remember once in a pub trivia game, one of those who am I questions, where the first clue was something to do with making my start writing advertising jingles. Without any concern for my own credibility I said Barry Manilow. Was a jug of beer worth it ? I fear not. Some things, it is better not to know. Embarrassed

Not if you make me listen to any more Symphony X. Tongue  Not that they don't do what they do well but I simply do not like those, or indeed any, Dioish vocals.

Right, every hippie has his break point, I suppose LOL
I don't know, Symphony X, a bit too much heavy cliches.
In my humble, personal taste of course.
And Dio vocals, yes... urrgh Pinch

PT don't enthuse me greatly either.
