Acomplished musicians, admired by many and often hailed by critics, Fates Warning has released a brand new album that, while it's still musically perplexing in a few ways, it has very little to do with Metal. There's way too many prolonged, how should I say, 'acoustic' moments, and when the 'heavier' parts kick in, it sounds pretty tamed and standard. The progresiveness factor that characterizes this band has almost dissapeared completely. While it's hard to argue that their best material was released in the '80s, the '90s still saw them being a bit creative. Don't get me wrong, this is still competently played and will appeal to you if you are into the lighter side of metal, or if you like decent music that's very accesible and doesn't necessarily requires a tag attached to it. Otherwise, stick with their classics.
