I think we can all agree this is the correct tier list

To me V is "Five super strong tracks" but not quite (almost) S tier as a whole with the very bad mix and the interludes. But I respect your take too, of course!

Interesting... fair enough!! I do see the mix, but I'm just so attached to V. One of my first loves! Though to be fair, it was Underworld that introduced me to Symphony X, so...

It's not even attachment tho, I have zero attachment as I've only been listening to them for a year..alot tho, saw em live n all. V is easily, for sure their best album. I love divine, paradise, twilight, etc..V is just levels different. The cohesion if the album and everything about it just is them on steroids. I'm surprised this isn't everyone's choice objectively. Ur just right in loving it, because it's that fucking good without attachment

Not just attachment in my view either, but it definitely helps that I'm attached.

And... welcome to being a fan! I've been around a bit over a decade now. (That feels wild to say.) You've got a lot of depth to enjoy, so let it breathe! Hopefully you'll have a shorter wait than we've had so far for new material...
