Fates Warning's brand of progressive metal is quite unique. Instead of trying to impress the listener with their instrumental prowess in every song (you know which band I have in mind), they focus on creating an interesting and engaging musical experience. Their incredible skill clearly shows, but it's not so in-your-face, nor does it ever become the goal in itself. Read more ›› |

RobRadcliffe gave a bunch of albums from 2016 1/10 to try to get them out of the top 20. Can you guys believe a 40 year old did that?

I hadn't enjoyed a Fates Warning record in 25 years (since Parallels), and not for lack of trying. This album is awesome; an excellent blend of strong songwriting and performance both. Also, as a MUCH bigger fan of John Arch, I have to say Ray's voice has never sounded so good. I'm glad he's forgone the falsetto for real voice, which sounds a million times better to my ears.

Here we go again, another 1 from someone who most likely didn't listen to the album. Downraters are so pathetic.

Posts: 445 Written by Daniell on 07.07.2016 at 09:36 I heard it and it didn't resonate with me. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood? I'll give it another go on the strength of this latest effort.

Great album, if I could use the half-point I would give this 8.5/10. Happy to see the whole band in such a good shape. My favourite song is "The Ghosts Of Home", very close to masterpiece level.

I love "The Light And Shade Of Things" and the whole album is pretty consistent quality prog metal.

This one is a huge leap forward compared to the previous lackluster Darkness in DIfferent Light. Plenty of hooks and variation in the music.

It's pretty good actually, better than most of their previous albums IMO.
