Is it just me or does Serpent's Kiss sound like a Tool song?

This Album is a Masterpiece. Its sure to be popular with any Real metal head with exceptions of those Nu Metalheads.

this one may even be popular with them.

This album is just pure epic. A fast and heavy Speed/Prog metal assault

Paradise Lost not a grand theme? It's only one of the classic literary epics. And it's not a book, you knob jockey, it's a poem.

You're right, it's a poem, although it was split up into twelve books.

And I'm afraid it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it. And while I *do* appreciate the lyrics and the themes chosen, they're not of a grand scale(a grand scale would be one such as "The Wall", "Scenes From A Memory" or "Light of Day, Day of Darkness"). Of course Paradise Lost(the poem) in itself is a grand theme, but they(SX) don't use it as one.

Don't get me wrong though, it's a very good album and will surely rank as one of the best when we sum up 2007.

Won't top Divine Wings yet I do think that album is due for a remastering. The production of that album wasn't the best. Others would also agree.

For any who have actually read the epic poem (It isnt a book), you'll understand where the lyrics come from, and the meaning behind the story. For instance the song "Paradise Lost", as far as I can tell from the lyrics is actually about Lucifers banishment from heaven as he holds his hands to the sky in anguish.

Powerful shit, awesome theme, awesome album.

Remember "Candlelight Fantasia"? That's Russell.

This album is by far their best effort. Cohesive, focused, on a mission (accomplished), heavy, progressive, epic... This is their 'Train of Thought' (Dream Theater) as far as I'm concerned.

I would put Odyssey, and Divine just before this one. then again SX has been on fire pumping out 5 great albums in a row. Cant wait for the new album!
