There are two bands with this title, a well-known metal band from the East Coast of the US and an obscure (and now defunct) rock band from the Midwestern US.

Their 1997 album The Divine Wings Of Tragedy and their 2000 release V: The New Mythology Suite have gained the band considerable attention within the community. Musically Symphony X is similar to, although heavier than most other progressive metal bands to which they are commonly compared: Dream Theater, Fates Warning and Pain of Salvation. They play in a very syncopated, progressive fashion, also incorporating elements of into their sound. Their music contains strong elements in line with the music of Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhoads and other influential neoclassical metal artists.

To date, the band has recorded 8 studio albums and also released one live album Live On The Edge Of Forever. Symphony X latest album was released June 2011, entitled Iconoclast.

    Funny how a Dream Theater discussion works better on the SX page than on the shitbox that is the DT page :P. Anyways, I agree with ZWSnyder on the terrible keyboard sound of Rudess. Rudess might be faster than Kevin Moore, but Moore had a much better sound. Besides that, he wrote pretty awesome songs and lyrics. I especially hate the sound of the solo on 'Beneath the Surface', though the song is still lovely. I wonder if Rudess will ever consider dropping the damn Ipad and playing a Hammond organ. Gotta love that sound!

    I mean I own everything Dream Theater, I've heard pretty much every song they've ever wrote, played, recorded, whatever; and ADToE just wasn't a sufficient of enough of an album for DT standards, honestly. Especially the synth intros {{{shudders}}} not the like dramatic, organ shit, but the Walmart keyboard sounds...disgusting.

    "I might even say its just as good as 'A Dramatic Turn of Events' and 'Heritage'." imo, A Dramatic Turn of Events is definitely better than Iconoclast (though as a whole I prefer SX to DT), but Iconoclast is far, far better than Heritage. I disliked Heritage; it rambled on without really going anywhere. Not up to Opeth's standards.
