This is a best of compilation. Get this and you will hear a great variety of songs showcasing their creative talents. A powerfull album that grows and grows on you.

This is the first cd I bought by Fates Warning and it is my favorite. After listening to it,I went out and bought several more of their cds. There is not one song on this album that I did not like. My favorites, " Eye to Eye", "Prelude to Ruin", "Point of View","Through Different Eyes", and "We Only Say Goodbye". Everyone is phenominal in this band. One of my favorite cds in my collection.

When I first purchased this CD's years ago, I wasn't sure what to expect as I was new to Fates Warning, but not new to the hard rock/metal scene. This CD has gone a long way for me. It's always uplifted me thru tough times and makes an impression every time! I still listen to this CD everyday at work, I never get sick of it! I wish this band had recieved more credit and recognition than some bands out there. It's a great album that will remain in my collection forever.

It really makes me mad how this band isn't as popular as Dream Theater. I have listened to this "best of" CD easily over 100 times and I still get chills up my spine. The way every song starts is really awesome. Then when you hear the vocals you just get blown away. Ray Adler is in my opinion the best singer out there. He hits highs that other singers would choke on. And the older songs with John Arch the old singer are just as good but in a old school prog metal way. Every song on here is a killer. Whenever I hear this in my car I can't help but speeding and thinking that I entered another world. It's really incredible. Get this CD if you call yourself a progessive metal fan. You will not be dissapointed. At the very least download a couple songs and see what you think.

This compilation of highlights from Fates Warning isn't too bad. Not a CD that I listen to that often though. Fates Warning no doubt are great musicians. Their album productions are especially a cut above what I've heard from other groups. Their best material on this album is from the No Exit and Parallels albums. The older material with the former singer is okay. Chasing Time is a pretty good starting point, but I really recommend that someone just pick up a full-length album--No Exit or Parallels. Fates Warning has never been a favorite group (their songwriting has always been just average), but there's no doubt that they are great musicians.
