A great CD. Great vocals by Arch. "Gaurdian" is a classic metal tune.

From: Friday 13th Date: May 23, 2002 at 6:41
The best album that John Artch ever recorded, a must for any fans of Omen, Priest & Maiden. Buy it now!! friday13th@robhalford.com

This is what REAL progressive metal is all about, a must-have for fans of the genre! The second half is the best (especially Giant's Lore). Strong, consistent Heavy/Progressive Metal!

From: rising power Date: March 24, 2003 at 4:31
Sounds like Priest and Maiden? What a bollocks!!! Those bands are straight ahead rock&roll bands and they have nothing in common with this pretensious crap. People sometimes forget that heavy metal is about simple songs to have fun and get your agresion out of you. These guys come from the conservatorium and not from the streets were metal originally comes from.

this is a great heavy metal album, heavy as heck, great vocals, riffs and solos, more personalty than the previous records ( that, despite of being great ones, sound like Maiden clones )

From: Metal T Date: August 15, 2005 at 13:52
Fates Warning: "Maiden Clones" ??---Get real !!--They were definitely not the calibur of an Iron Maiden as far as flat-out metal goes,but one could make the argument that John Arch possessed Dickinson's range and then some .Bruce couldn't touch John on the song "Guardian" ..... Metal Blade deserves praise for the excellent job they did remastering/reissuing this gem . ----

I could never get into this one...dis-jointed IMO...

From: hair metal again Date: September 23, 2013 at 3:42

From: rick kerch vzla Date: January 16, 2014 at 23:03
