The best Progressive Metal album of 2020!!🤘🎸🎙🔥

Matheos is so incredibly brilliant. He's been the most criminally underrated guitar player in the world for decades.

I love all of Fate's material. No Exit, Perfect Symmetry, and Parallels are masterpieces and my personal faves.

Fantastic album, I´m very proud, that I had the chance to organize their concert back in 2012 in Europe.

Ray is an amazing singer. His voice gets simply better as the years go by...

Joey's bass sound is off the charts , love it

Dear All, I am sooo glad that for once, on a "social media" platform, there is nearly no nonsense conflict over a music album. I have the impression that many people stick together for this band. Up the Irons! Greetings from tiny Luxembourg.

Been following Fates since 1986. Greatest prog band in the world. They never disappoint. They inspire our music journey on an ethereal level. Got us thru some dark times in life. Let’s all celebrate their pure genius. 🤘🤘

Fates Warning has helped me through so many hard times in my life... I've been riding with these guys since the first album Spectre...I think I was 15 and I'm 50 now and even though John is no longer with them they're still kicking that ass after all these years!!! Big Big props also to Arch/Matheos, another one of my favorites!!!!MUCH LOVE

Fates Warning is top shelf music. They never dissapoint. Everything about this album is great. The drumming is awesome. Greetings from Texas ! 🤘

Joey's bass in the mix is epic!

New Fates - just hearing Bobby Jarzombek masterful percussion is a celebration of the culmination of elite creativity and technical skill. And not only that, he kicks fookin ass.

Seen them the first time on the No Exit tour in a bar in Kent , Ohio and many times since one of the greatest Metal bands of all time without a doubt !

How this band is so largely unknown and still just play clubs is baffling! This album is pristine.

Fates Warning forever! The best there ever was. Ray's voice has always been shocking and unchanging, Matheos is a genius period. Loved this band since 1988.

I had no idea FW still made music. I listened to em from awaken thru the perfect symmetry album. So good to hear em still. Wow. I’m amazed. If we get over Covid and they tour I’m there. Never too late to see this amazing band

Fates Warning only improves with age. Every record they release is a bold push to the limits while mantaining their trademark sounding (especially on the last 3 albums) and this one is no exception. They never fail to deliver. Jim Matheos has always been a great (and underrated) guitar player but his talent as a composer is something out of this world, I really wish that he and Steven Wilson could put a project together. Ray's singing is better than ever.. passionate, powerful, mature. Great melodies and great work as the main lyricist for the record as well. Joey and Bobby are some of the best in the business, they really know their stuff. Super tight interaction and interplay. Great sounding overall, nice mix. People compare FW to Dream Theater and Queensryche... c'mon, this is far better than everything both DT and QR have released in the last decade.

OMG! a new Fates Warning album! I discovered them in 1997 with A Pleasant Shade Of Grey, one of the best concept albums of all times in my opinion. It's my winter album, I like listening to it in rainy days. Definitely one of the most unique metal bands.

Absolutely brilliant. Expected nothing less from these Legends.

Amazing album, 72 minutes of brilliant music . Thank you Fates for this masterpiece

"The Longest Shadow of the Day" is the pinnacle of prog metal!

Long-time and old-school Fates Warning fan. I was brought here by the Sea of Tranquility channel. They still sound great. I miss Mark Zonder but I love Bobby Jarzombek.

I almost can't believe how good this album sounds. Perfection!

One of my favorite bands of ALL TIME! They prove time and time again they can create masterpieces like this!

I hold it - the most underrated band in the world! Great musicians and one of the best rock singers ever! FW know how to put all kinds of emotions into music. Such great musicianship combined with sophisticated lyrics. Along with Rush, Tangerine Dream, Marillion (with Fish on vocals) one of my favorite bands for more than 20 years. I hope we will see them on stage in Germany after Corona has had its way.

This is the high point of 2020, just after Ray’s amazing solo album!

I forgot about this today as I had a crappy day at work, but this is the perfect end to a hard week. Amazing album, can't wait for my copy to arrive next week.

God, I hope this isn't their last album. The title of the album...the name of the last track...."The last song."...Interviews I've heard with Ray..."we weren't sure if we'd do another Fates album..." Hopefully, economics will prevail (buy and listen often!). If the album does well, like ToF did, they'll keep things going. Either way, I'm grateful. And I can't wait to hear this album. Fates has been the soundtrack of my life since 1987.

Jim Matheos is Genius!

... Simply gorgeous!!! Love this band. ! Greetings from Brazil!!!

The Light and Shade of Things on the last album, and now The Longest Shadow of the Day on this one are up there for my favorite tracks ever by this band (or anyone), listener since 87'

Fates Warning is my all time favorite band and this new album is AMAZING!!!!

Awaken the Guardian will always be my favorite album.

I love Fates Warning, saw them only once when they came to Serbia on their last tour for Theories of Flight. This album is amazing, they just can't release bad album.

Nice to hear actual musicianship and creativity in a muddied sea of millions!!!!! \,,/'9'\,,/

Great album! “Parallels” is still my favorite. It may not be their best but it came out at a time for me that it impacted my life.

buy it, listen to it, chant it and adore it

A natural progression of the band, they are my age now (or older), I'll add it to my FW collection and it will grow on me as all their work does.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Top musicianship at the service of Music, and not just Egos... 🔥👍❤!

A lot of the comments are (rightfully) praising Jim and Ray, but holy hell Bobby Jarzombek is one phenomenal drummer. Even in an age of ridiculously talented metal drummers he stands out.

This is ...simply stunning again. Theories was such a great album...this is again just wonderful.

I'm so excited for this album. It will be the best thing that's happened this year. Fates always delivers and Ray's voice sounds phenomenal.

Love it already. Just that opening track, first Ray´s voice melts my heart,then Bobby pumps it up again with amazing druming, jim ripps a solo! ´Under the the sun´ I´ve already covered for my neigbours ;-) But favouited track so far is ´the way home´, all that emosion, then the tastfull intricate transision, melancolic power, and a superb solo, I bow my head and raise my fist and pour my heart! Thank for a great album, my cd i ordered but not delivered yet

Este nuevo trabajo de FW, es un "vino de la mejor cepa"...tiene todos los sabores, un gran gusto para el paladar exigente y un final perdurable...EXCELENTE!!!... como siempre

This album made my holiday season! Thanks so much Fates!

Phenomenal music, phenomenal musicians, after listening only once! I possess all FW albums but this one might their best! So beautiful, so diverse! I saw them live a few times, they are incredible musicians. A highly underrated band! Hope to see them again in future!

my favorite FW album will ALWAYS be Perfect Symmetry. I always look forward to a new album from this band! I ordered the new album and got tired of waiting for it to arrive so i came here. the first song has a mix of both old and new vibes.. /m\

Seriously surprised. Still completely proficient in their genre, and have - miraculously - kept up with the times in terms of song composition, technical ability, guitar tone, drum fills, etc. Very impressive.

Fates warning gets my nominees for band and album of the year.stronger than ever. Perfect album.thanks to jim ray joey michael and bobby.

There's nothing like these guys. Nothing comes close. So unique. Just irreplaceable.

Awesome Album!!! Drums sounds incredible!!

My God!! Counting the seconds for one more masterpiece!!!

I have already listened to it few times and I also ordered the vinyl .... A good record but nothing sensational and sometimes predictable to my ears, we are light years away from the great masterpieces that have left me shocked like Parallels, Inside Out, A Pleasant Shade of Gray and Disconnected! I continue to regret Zonder's creative and brilliant inspiration

Great Album ! Best album of 2020, glad I bought it.

Amazing album!...Amazing band!

What an amazing album! So inspirational. Looking forward to 2021.

Thank You Metal Blade Records !!! And thank you Fates Warning .......First top 20 album from my favorite band !!!! Its worth every penny .......I bought it on cd week 1 .

Bobby J holds it down. It has this mean yet appropriate feel. Love it ❤

A true masterpiece ! And yes - FW improves with age ...

My Oldest brother turned me onto this 2 weeks ago and it's been on repeat since then. Every part of this collection is a masterpiece! i put this in my category of very few artists. This album is Leftover, Images And Words Great! In every aspect . Vox , Lyrics, Arrangements, Guitars, Drums , Bass and production is stellar!! Bravo gentlemen! Wonderful collection of brilliant songs and music!

este disco es todo lo que puedes desear como fan de fates warning absolutamente killer album

and to add as always the most brilliant and full of surprises... rhythm section... best in the world... love to hear violins though... think it would be out of the Earth to hear accoustic Fates live with symphony orchestra... Under the sun... just made me thinking... tnx

The King`s is back...!YES!! So , So , So MUCH IN FRONT OF THE OTHERS!

few seconds are enough to say... masterpiece! I love Fates Warning and Ray Alder's voice.

The Best Progressive Metal that there is, it's the 2020 album of Progressive Metal so far.

First saw them when Ray had just joined the band right before No Exit was released. Absolutely blown away, and have continued to be blown away for over 30 years. I really hope we haven't heard the last from Fates..

Awesome! FW #1 these will be a Long Wait to Good Album!

Lots to digest!

My favorite band since my teenage days and they still are my favorite.

My soundtrack for 2021 & BEYOND!

Masterpiece, fan since the 1st album :)

Super album nesklamaly ako vzdy 👍🤟

Really really enjoying this album! Yet ANOTHER masterpiece from Fates and all who create within it! Mr. Brian Slagel, I hope you get to interview the guys about the album (face to face I hope). Was VERY surprised how fast it came out since the last album and Arch/Matheos . . . very HAPPY \m/.

I'm a guitar player but i love drums playing and sound from Bobby Jarzombek.

Fates music has become soul sound. Inmersive. Personal. Aggressive poetry. Soul searching stuff. I have been a fan since perfect simmetry. I was blown away. And they have not let the true fans down. Not just headbanging stuff, is metal taken to the level of high art.

Fates Warning never disappoints. Thank you for delivering another fantastic album!

Longest Shadow.......WOW!!!!! what a song once it gets rollin'
