This is probably their most progressive album of their entire catalog. Its the first one with the phenomenal Mark Zonder behind the drum kit... its the second one with vocalist Ray Alder and he has improved considerably since "No Exit". This is also a notable album because it was really the last one written with full band participation and not just "The Jim Matheos Experience".

To put it simply, this is the best progressive metal album of all time. If you don't agree you're wrong.

"Through different eyes" is a masterpiecerAlso, "Chasing time" and "Part of theachine" are amazing songs., but i can't say this album is as great as it is considered, it is highly influential though

The defining album of Fates Warning. Finally, they find their sound within the progressive genre, and shed all doubt that they aren't an iconic band within the movement. While prog-metal had barely even been put on the map, Fates Warning added a plethora of traits synonymus with today's prog-metal formula into their arsenal. Instrumental wankery, playing around with time-signatures and writing long and complex songs. Alder came into his own vocally, and this album flows much better than No Exit. Still however, it is not perfect. I find it to have too many calmer sections, and miss the aggression on No Exit.

Fates Warning was one of the major pioneers of progressive metal, and Perfect Symmetry showcases them exposing their style. Why is this a 4? While it's an enjoyable album, I wouldn't say it's one I'd revisit often. The vocals feel out of place at times, the guitar leads sometimes feel too technical, and the lyrics are a bit too abstract for my liking. Nevertheless, this is worth your time if you're a fan of the subgenre.
