Hopefully Alder's voice is up to snub for this one (and PPUSA), because if it isn't Lebrie will blow him out of the water.

I was not aware they were working on one. Good news. Not a LaBrie fan, but hey....
My favorite from them is The Fullness of Time.
PS - Got it last week. The new OSI is a borefest.

Yeah, I don't have high expectations for OSI. Their first album was pretty good, but second album was very "eh".

3/4. Rick from Steel Prophet sings on the first. I quite liked their second album. Didn't blow me away or anything but several songs were quite good.
I could be wrong -- old age and brain cells being killed along the way -- but I remember Corey Brown doing lead vox for them at Prog Power IV. I also think Ray came out and did a song with them.
Just checked my pictures and Ray did do a song with them. So I'm not completely dead in the head yet.

Yes, Ray only sang on 1 song on the debut. He and Van Dyk were also the producers.
The song that Akerfeldt sings on OSI is pretty good, but anything is better than Moore's boring vocals. Most of the songs are very mellow. Problem is, once they start a good riff, it either doesn't last very long, or the song just ends (this is the problem with the Akerfeldt song). The album is too "spacey" and it doesn't really go anywhere. All the songs just run into each other.

You are more positive than I am. The first was meh and the second was
. I kept the debut becasue I bought the special edition and the second CD worths more than the first . Then I bought the second blndly and couldn't digest it, I give it as a gift to a friend.
Not going to bother with the new one at all.
And to me it's their best (specially the awsome 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'). Actaully I was pissed when he dropped for the second and they brought Ray Alder in, but he had made two acceptable albums. So I'll look for "Snowfall on Judgment Day" (as it seems the offcial title).

I would disagree with that. I do not like the Fates Warning albums with Ray Alder. But I like the Redemption albums a lot!
I seriously think that Redemption is a much better band than Fates Waning. Also; I like Ray's vocals with Redemption much better than with Fates.
Particularly 'The Fullness Of Time' is a fantastic album!

They're more consistent in terms of one album to another. Redemption has no Awaken the Guardian, Parallels (one of the best albums ever), Inside Out or Ivory Gate of Dreams my friend.

On this point of view I agree with Hawk a 100%. I don't like FW (any era) mostly because of the vocals, but Alder's work on Redemption is another ballgame.

Maybe I should have made myself clearer. I absolutely love the Fates Warning albums from the John Arch era. But I never liked their Ray Alder era albums. None of them.
That's why it was a great and pleasant surprise that I liked the Redemption albums with him as much as I did. That's why I wrote:
'I seriously think that Redemption is a much better band than Fates Warning.'
What I meant with that is that I like Redemption a lot more than Fates Warning with Ray Alder on vocals. The albums from that are mean nothing to me.
Fates Warning with John Arch was a completely different band as far as I am concerned. I still consider 'Awaken The Guardian' as a masterpiece within the history of metal.

Yeah, I read that part. Parallels still > than finest Redemption material. Plus Adler hasn't sounded better than on that album. He was like a young Geoff Tate, only with not much of a bass range.

Just pulling you and Hawk's legs really... it's crucifiction.
If you don't like Alder era fates, it's cool dude. (Well actually it's not but I'll allow it.)
