Fates Warning's debut album written long before Frank Aresti, Mark Zonder or Ray Alder were in the band. It is a rough representation of what they would become by the release of "Awaken the Guardian". This has its proggy moments but is more entrenched in the metal of the time. Its a good album if you're looking for old school metal, and the song "Damnation" is almost worth getting the album for all by itself.
