Great Early Fates!

Review Score: (8/10)
OK, after "pussjewel" has his say, I guess I have to do my part to pull up the average rating!

This is early Fates, and so really shouldn't be compared to current Fates - they are very different! Yes, I agree that this CD is more "metal" than "progressive metal" but so what? It's still great! John Arch's vocals are awesome as always, and Jim & Victor do a fantastic job on guitars!

I don't think there's a bad tune on the CD, with "The Apparition" being my favorite. This track got a lot more listens after the "Chasing Time" compilation was released, and that just made me like it more and more!

I'm only giving "Spectre" 4 stars, 'cause I do think Fates only got better with time.
