Underworld

"Underworld is just one more piece of evidence for my confirmation bias that Symphony X is simply among the best progressive metal bands of all time".

" The amped-up aggression and heaviness on Underworld, suits them - even though it took them 20 years to get here. That newfound sense of physicality is combined with the finest elements of album rock - in the best '70s sense of the term - anthemic '80s hard rock, and modern power/prog metal here. As a result, Symphony X sound reinvigorated, fresh, more vital than ever - unbound by their own history, but providing a near perfect extension of it".

"De bliver i nogle sammenhænge betegnet som progressiv metal. Men deres musik er decideret mere metallisk end progressiv. Det er snarere Rainbow på steroider end Yes med ekstra distortion. Bevares, det tekniske niveau er skyhøjt. Men bandet langer hellere en syngende lussing over disken end et uforståeligt håndtegn.Der åbnes ganske solidt. Det er dog først et stykke inde i albummet, at de virkelig perler dukker op som på en snor ... Underworld forener ekvilibrisme, rå styrke og velsignede melodier".
