If "A Pleasant Shade of Gray" is your favorite FW album, then you should have no problem getting into this...

This album has some excellent cuts on it, but also a few that are very grating on the nerves. The song arrangements are top notch, even on the annoying tracks. Of the 'modern era' FW discs (ie where Ray Alder isn't doing his poor imitation of Geoff Tate, but has retreated to a more comfortable register), Disconnected is hands down my favourite.

'Another Perfect Day' is a perfect song.

I have to agree with you. I love the atmosphere of "River Wide Ocean Deep" too.

This band definitely needs more love here on Sputnik.
Bands like Intronaut enjoy critical acclaim for mixing post metal with prog ethics (some of them deserve it tbbh, Intronaut for example), but if there weren't for bands like Fates Warning, idk...

No, this band has very few fans on this site. Kind of sucks.

it's remarkable how quality bands are forgotten with time, simply because they don't issue a new album every month...
And another issue is that fewer and fewer music fans continue to dig deep into the past for quality bands in general...
It's ok to live in the present, but some glances at the past wouldn't hurt anyone i think...

And another issue is that fewer and fewer music fans continue to dig deep into the past for quality bands in general... You'd think that with all of the illegal downloading going around that people would have no problem digging into the past. There is some proof that they do, though, because how else could bands like Atheist and Cynic get big when neither band had released an album in over ten years (until recently).

illegal downloading is the best/only way to learn about old and out of print albums, whether we like it or not.
Of course, nothing can match up to the physical copies.-
i wish people would do this with Psychotic Waltz, Last Crack and the such as well...
Those bands you are referring to Trey, were critically acclaimed at their first rise, that's why they come back strong now.
I'm talking about quality bands, that broke up because they were not supported by anyone at their first rise.

Does Last Crack sound like Pychotic Waltz?

no, they belong to completely different cases.
But they share the same quirky attitude in general.

Those bands you are referring to Trey, were critically acclaimed at their first rise, that's why they come back strong now. It's funny that you mention that because I was just reading an interview with Atheist's drummer and he said that they were hated while they were still an "active" band and that's what made him leave the first time. Cynic talked all the time about being booed at shows. Critics loved them, but fans hated them.

You're right.
Critics loved them, but not the fans.
However there was a small hardcore of fans that loved both of them and it was this fan hardcore that kept them "alive" in their heads and got them active nowadays.

They're reissuing Inside Out as a three-disc set. Looks pretty cool, especially if they fix the thin production.
