5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Prog rock albums of all time, January 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Perfect Symmetry (Audio CD)

People who say Dream Theater is better or true prog metal is full of it. It's all in the songwriting, this band does a much better job than Dream Theater who plays a bunch of scales 16 notes. This album is there all time high and one of the best Fates albums there is. THe new drummer Mark Zonder is amazing. May not be as heavy, but it farpasses anything in intensity

If your new to Fates Warning, you should know that of the progressive metal genre', Fates is a band that features one of the leading rock vocalists in the world today. Ray Alder has a vast range, clean tone, controlled vibrato, poetry, and angular melodies. On a canvas of very heavy oriented Metal.

This album has a moderate, more melodic and dynamic feel to it. Perhaps Fates Warning's most "beautiful" recording. Reminds of their recent release, Shades of Grey.

You'll love the vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to turn off., October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Perfect Symmetry (Audio CD)

Perfect Symmetry was my first experience with this kind of rock/metal, and I've listened to it for almost 11 years now. The music and the lyrical content of their music is timeless, it will still maintain it's relevance far in the future. I was so enthralled with Perfect Symmetry when I first heard it, and all these years later I still have to close my eyes when I hear At Fates Hands. I feel very lucky that I've gotten to listen to these guys for so many years, and I've managed to enjoy all of their different "era's". I deeply respect these guys for being so inventive and refreshing, even in the face of vast changes in their music or band members.
