Really? based solely off this song I think it would have been a lot less dynamic if the vocals weren't present. Plus these vocals are great as far as clean metal vocalists go. Don't see how metal fan could dislike it without being a fussy nitpicker. Loading...

Don't see how metal fan could dislike it without being a fussy nitpicker. The singer isn't bad, I agree, but that chorus is bad. The chorus alone makes me not want to listen to the song. How it's sung is so poppy to me and I simply don't like it. I like the rest of the song though. Loading...

I think this is actually the result of Russell Allen being involved in too many side projects and not having enough time for Symphony X. I wouldn't be surprised if Russell is a little apprehensive about getting back into things since the accident. Going through something like that will fuck you up. I don't think he's really done anything since then, has he? Loading...
