October 15 1985
Fates Warning
The Spectre Within
Genre: Prog Metal
2 out of 5
Highlights:
The Apparition
This might be the longest album we’ve covered here at The Listening Post. It’s almost 50 minutes.
Of noodle-y, time shifting, shriek heavy concept metal.
These aren’t songs. They’re “stories” or “warblings” set to what could be a pre-fab metal music bed.
Occasionally they tap into that Randy Rhodes/Ozzy type of metal to middling effect (“Without a Trace”, “The Apparition”).
This album was a chore, to say the least.
