Symphony X's third album definitely established them as the elite of progressive metal!

With Russel Allen fully established as the frontman this band needed, Romeo and company were able to further sharpen their songwriting skills to deliver a series of songs of almost flawless quality.

Production has also been improved to give us even more crisp guitars, and the overall sound sounds somewhat less dated than the group's first two releases. I would also like to highlight the sound of the bass, which is one of the best I have ever heard in a recording of this type.

Best songs: Sea of Lies (one of his best refrains), The Accolade (orchestral, complex and 100% Symphony X) and the suite that gives the album its title, which is a masterpiece of the best symphonic metal.

My Rating: ****
