Album Rating: 4.0

First FW album I actually enjoy from start to finish. Might bump my rating soon.

Man the production on this is so clean

And that solo section in White Flag daaaaaaaamn

stream?

Album Rating: 4.5

Loving this more and more... Ray makes it so easy to listen to prog...

Yeah I swear this is the first FW album I can listen in full without losing interest. And that includes all their high rated shit from the 80s. Have yet to hear the 90s stuff though, so I will get on it.

haven't u checked Parallels yet?

Album Rating: 4.5

This album doesn't throw you straight in there like Darkness in a Different Light did, but man once it picks up the pace it really gets good. 'Seven Stars' is good easy listenin' and 'The Light and Shade of Things' is a master piece of a track. This album makes anything by Dream Theatre pale in comparison, and I love those guys as well.



Definitely going to have this on repeat for a few weeks.

Album Rating: 5.0

Modern FW shits on modern DT. Matheos is as creative as ever



@bloc: Yeah man the production is really good. The guitars and drums sound especially good

"haven't u checked Parallels yet?"

Just finished it, I liked it. I am liking the 90s stuff much more than the 80s stuff it seems.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Inside Out is basically Parallels part II, so you'll either love it or hate it for that reason. 'Face the Fear' and 'Monument' from that album are well worth checking out, though.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah the 90s stuff is better, especially because of Alder, Zonder, and the diverse songwriting

Album Rating: 4.5

No Exit and Perfect Symmetry are their best albums, though.

Album Rating: 5.0

My bad, forgot Perfect Symmetry was released in 88. That's the best one imo

Album Rating: 4.0

Perfect Symmetry, Parallels and A Pleasant Shade of Gray are the only ones I had somehow enjoyed up till now, while Darkness in a Different Light I respected, but wasn't fully on for it. But, this one.... This one....



The Light and Shade of Things' intro gives me Scarred/Lifting Shadows off a Dream vibes.

And I've felt the flame



Seen the light



Of your seven staaars that buuurn at niiight



Foooooooreeeeeveeeeeeer

Album Rating: 5.0

@Myth: Disconnected, FWX are also really good, but more experimental. FW's music takes a while to digest, that's one of the main reasons they aren't as popular as DT of Queensryche



This album is more direct but still with a good amount of experimentation.

Album Rating: 4.5

I also really dig the thrash metal-like overtones of No Exit and because they haven't revisited that angle it certainly makes it a unique album even among the already diversive Fates discography.

Album Rating: 4.0

I'll devote some time to listen to those two. It's good delving into nwew bands once in a while.

Album Rating: 4.5

I wasn't expecting much from this album, but it's so much more brilliant than the last efforts. Jarzombek does a great job here, yet I'm still missing Zonder.

Album Rating: 4.0

This is a great album. Glad to hear they still got it!
