I'll admit, I'm not that experienced in the genre of Progressive Metal - in fact I had never heard any of Queensrÿche's music before buying this album. However the legacy of this band, review scores around 9/10, and a price tag of $20 (fairly cheap in my country) prove a combination hard for me to resist. Given the factors above, my expectations for this album were quite high and that was probably a mistake on my part, as now when I play this record I can't help feeling disappointed. Read more ›› |

One of Tate's best performances vocally throughout this album. Great stuff!

Tate has a good singing voice hear. But seldom have I heard such safe music as the one Queensryche presents. Absolutely no bite at all, and in the end, just boring.

For me this is a good album, but I get the feeling that these songs could generally be a bit faster and/or heavier. As it is, the album does have some remarkably good songs: "Before The Storm" (catchy as fck), "NM 156" (a bit faster than most here) and "Roads To Madness" (boring start, but gets better later). Still I prefer the EP.

Lots and lots of great riffs here and some insane vocals by Tate. USPM at it's finest!

This is who inspired Fates Warning. I haven't read it or don't know if it's true but I believe so.Queensryche's early days were way better than Fate Warning of course.

Written by Mountain King on 19.05.2020 at 23:22 early FW was visibly influenced by Iron Maiden, more than Queensryche.

Written by JoHn Doe on 19.05.2020 at 23:26 I guess most bands were influenced by Maiden. I have been listening to Queensryche for years and although I've heard of Fates Warning and was familiar with their first 3 record only, I never heard the later albums. What I also meant to say is that if you would play me 80's Fates Warning then I would say it sounds like early Queensryche. The latest Fates Warning record is my favorite so far and I would say they don't sound like Queensryche as much anymore.

Highly ambitious and years ahead of its time. Around this time progressive metal wasn't even a thing and they were already making a concept album with top notch songwriting and stuff. Roads To Madness is obviously the number one classic song on the album, the live version of Take Hold Of The Flame also a killer in itself, Geoff Tate was insanely good around this time. Allegedly the record label attempted to cut the costs by hiring some less experienced folk to finish the production and mixing, and the band felt they ruined the album. I wish they'd someday release a reworked edition or something the way it was originally meant to be.
