Well...I just don't like Symphony X. The lyricism is TERRIBLE. Bland aside from the guitarist-- does he play solo?
The Dark Chapter
Thanks. Maybe I will find more redeemable qualities on that release.
The man is a beast on the guitar, a Jack Daniels fueled riff-machine.

Well, i thought they could not beat "Paradise Lost", but this "Iconoclast" is even a little better, with some songs really beautiful, they has proven one more time their great technique, and this time, great effort with two discs of material =). Anyway on the same line of "Paradise Lost".
I love these songs:
Iconoclast
The End Of Innocence
Bastards Of The Machine
Children Of A Faceless God
When All Is Lost
Electric Messiah
Light Up The Night
Up Symphony X!

Is it worth buying the 2disc version because all I ever see is the normal version so I'm thinking about just buying that because I just want this album.

One of the releases of the year so far. This band just get better with age.I
discover something new and incredible on every listen, what a extraordinary
band of musicians ,each one at the pinnacle of their chosen instrument, as
they have gotten better and better over the years it's scary to think where
they might end up 'cause everytime I hear a new album I think there is no
possible way they could top this......but they do.......again and again !!!

Best album of the year so far, for me. (Perhaps unfortunately) I listened to this album first, and then went back and listened to all their previous work, which all sounds somewhat lame in comparison. Oh well.

This album just doesn't hold up over time compared to their other releases. Some great tracks on here, but also some very, very boring moments. It's way too long for it's own good in my opinion. Not enough variety.

xD I wish was! I dunno. The album just gets less interesting the more I listen to it. I just lose more interest the farther I get into the album, then I hear All Is Lost and am like, "Oh cool. I like this one a lot.", and then I put in the second disc, rock out to Electric Messiah... and then am like  after a couple more songs and just start listening to something else. I've been listening to Pagan's Mind's latest release... which is prob my favorite power metal album of the year so far.

I like every single song in there, minus some on the second disc, but "Electric Messiah" is definitely the best on that one.

Nah. I still love Symphony X, just not this album in particular. And back off the Pagan's Mind album. It's awesome, and actually reminds me of classic Dream Theater a little bit. If Symphony X went away, there are great bands like them and Circus Maximus to take the progpower reins and ride into metal glory... like FUCKING CHAMPS.

I agree that Pagan's Mind beats Symphony X this year! and that is saying a lot because I love Symphony X and we go WAY back but the album that keeps bringing me back between the two is "Heavenly Ecstasy" and I can't believe that PM keeps evolving and yet never disappointing! Although I do give "Iconoclast" a solid 8.8/10!

You blasphemer. Vote for who you think is the best even if it's a big-name band.

But you're going to vote for a band who you don't think released the best album. Just because a band isn't mainstream doesn't mean they're good.

Well I'm not talking about mainstream-ness, I'm talking about adding precious vote points to a band who won't score as much as SyX and Opeth so people who check out the scores will think 'hmmmm, 150 votes for this, it probably can't be bad, I'll check it out'. And besides, 'the best' and 'the one I like most' are not always interchargeable terms, at least for me.

Nice one, although for me not as good as "Paradise Lost". Of course when it comes to Sy X it's always a matter of top quality, but seems a bit of a step down from previous two, not so much in terms of quality but more of a feeling and emotion it goes with the songs .. but than again it's a bit of a personal feeling and impressions you have when listening to an album. But as always more than solid.

I just love how the album starts.. so a movie-like slightly symphonic intro, then something like chaotic free jazz(more like the guys asserting their supremacy on their instruments while your brain explodes), then it gets slow and epic, you start to wonder when the actual song will start exactly, and then, out of nowhere, that amazing riff, so dirty, groovy and heavy, yet so Romeo, dammit I could listen to that intro forever.
I rarely vote for stuff, but imo this album really deserves the recognition it has. It's simply so qualitative on so many levels, every guy does his job amazingly and the whole album must have something like 200 riffs at least(with undoubtedly some of Romeo's best), the lyrics are stupendous, the production is amazing too. Definitely my album of the year 2011.

I have a strange history with this album. First time I listened to it it didn't impress me in the slightest, on the second try I really enjoyed it and now, when I listened to it again attentively... It sounds pretty boring to me. Yes, the production is great and so is the musicianship but... It sounds too mechanical to me, just like an album artwork. And when I can't find a single daring move on progressive album it ends up being boring for me.
Or maybe I'm just not into Symphony X anymore.
