GMD Poll: Fates Warning's Discography Ranked

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Correct



I haven't listened to a BLS album in a long time but I'm pretty sure I'm right



That's an objective statement of fact, nothing to do with taste.



I've since recanted. In any case, the definition of "obligatory classic" I used at the time was more stringent than it should have been, and an absence of filler was a requirement. I still maintain that every Slayer album with the exception of Hell Awaits has obvious weak points.

thanks. <3

... in which of your crevices?

 

[Dak]

Fates Warning are just too much of a mixed bag for me to rate. Perfect Symmetry has some good stuff but at times the vocals ruin it. Not Mustaine or Dane bad, but the vocals just aren't a strength.

This song is an example of where they do pretty much everything right:


Pretty much an Iron Maiden song.

... in which of your crevices?

Why make him choose just one?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Through Different Eyes is more Scorpions. The Arena is where the Maiden is at. Ball-clenching shrieking included.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

The second half of this song alone is worth buying the album for. It's like a Goblin score.

A band right in the midst of greatness.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I really need to revisit Inside Out. Its always been an album that sounds good while I'm listening to it but no songs have ever really jumped out and stayed with me after the fact.

A schizo rating? Or is one meant to be the live version?

A schizo rating? Or is one meant to be the live version?

One is meant to not be a fuck up. I need to check my notes to see which one it is.

Edit: Fixed.
