Of two things, either we consider that Symphony X is a progressive metal band (with symphonic instrumental trend Odyssey or V) is considering the combo as a group of American Heavy Metal lambda ... and then you will love this album. Otherwise. Not that the album is completely wrong but the last two or three albums the group focuses almost solely on its dark side to the total detriment see the denial of its past. And that's a shame. Iconoclast (song) is a typical example: admittedly long piece, but the length does not exclude to let emotions and finesse. Romero Sign of the times takes care of everything and leaves too little room for keyboards. The song is heavy and fits perfectly to the orrientation but where is the soul of the band?!. The rhythm are incommensurate with those of Divine, Odyssey or V ... A real big disappointment.
