Pretty average stuff
It's not bad but there's nothing all that great about it either. No Exit is pretty average 80s metal. Maybe their newer stuff is better, I don't know, but this album has made a bad first-impression on me.

Not recommended.


Brilliant Metal
"Brilliant Metal" While throwing in the crazy time signature riffs of Dream Theater and Symphony X years before either had formed, yet getting heavier than any of their previous albums, Fates Warning created a new genre with this work of art. That is probably the easiest way to describe this CD. I bought this CD mainly for The Ivory Gate of Dreams because of the last guy saying it was "roughly based on Homer's The Odyssey". As great as this track is, you must look at this album as a whole. The song No Exit only scratches the surface of what this CD represents, and as each song plays, you become entangled in the intricate story line that makes it all the way through the last few minutes of the 24 minutes epic, The Ivory Gate of Dreams. With the lyrics set aside, the music on this CD is awesome. I have all of the earlier CD's but they don't come close to the speed and ferociousness of this. Something horrible happened to the band after this CD, and i wish all of their CD's were just like this even though I love Awaken the Guardian and The Spectre Within. This is my favorite album no matter what genre I"m talking about and it has been for over a year now. If you like metal, whether it's Speed, Progressive, Thrash, please go get this, because there aren't enough Fates Warning fans out there. They should be nearly as highly regarded as Iron Maiden or at least Metallica. Fates Warning are far superior to Metallica in every aspect of what a band is and every music person should know why.


They should call me Columbus...
I discovered this band while poser was listening to Queensryche's greatest hits.


HEAVY METAL AT IT'S FINEST
The self titled ep was quality but queensryche started to go BLEHHH with mindcrime. Queensryche? mindcrime? What we have here is something far superior to the over rated "operation mindcrime", I meen the warning was good. THis is fates warning and this disc contains some of the most excellent metal music ever recorded. THis is the bands last "METAL" album and it is no doubt their heaviest. Silent cries is the most kickarse heaviest metal ballad ever. . . . a ballad is heavy?. . . just listen to that riff in the chorusd it demands your attention, it's simple as hell but its so AWSOME!!!! That is all I need to say about this. Buy this now if you like metal or anything else before this buy this band(every album before this is excellent GRADE A HIGH QUALITY)BUY THIS NOW!!!! It was so good it bought a tear to my eye.


The Roots of Progressive Rock were never stronger....
These guys go back a few years and i still listen to this album like it was released yesterday. What can i say about an album that is close to brillant. If you like progresive rock then this is an album you want to check out. The solid composition of technical sound blended with lryics that describe and feel thoughts of genuis musical writing, push you through an oddessy of rock and ballad. . . As i said, these guys are old and this is one of the bands that paved the way to progessive rock. I recomend this to the young and upcomig progressive fans as well. If you like Dream Theater or any other Fates Warning album. . . give this one a listen, you won't be dissapointed.
