Fates Warning Awaken the Guardian.

I think this has to be my absolute favorite prog metal album of all time. Jon Arch's vocals are some of the most amazing in metal. Fata Morgana and Exodus are my favorites. The only band I've heard that reminds me of them is Tad Morose on a couple of songs off of Undead. By I digress. Awaken the Guardian = CLASSIC

I agree but believe it or not I prefer the Ray Alder era Fates Warning over of the Arch's era just because I like Ray's voice better then Arch's(nothing wrong with Arch's just my preference).

The album reminds me of Helloween's Walls Of Jericho a litte bit.

Classic album indeed.

Yeah, this album is brilliant. Fates Warning deserves more recognition for the stuff they put out. Even their newer stuff is awesome.

Yeah excellent album, although i have to say my favourite is "The Spectre Within".

"Exodus ascend the plane
Exile this medium of bondage" :dio:

Spectre Within does indeed win. But they're both classic albums- the best the band put out by far.

I'm leaning slightly towards Spectre as well, but Fata Morgana and Guardian may be their two best songs I think.
