Theories of Flight – Fates Warning
Fates Warning
released their 12th studio album earlier this year, Theories
of Flight. I am not that familiar with this band, although their album,
Awaken
the Guardian, is one of my favorite progressive metal albums.
This album, Theories
of Flight, as some slower parts which are balanced out by the faster and
heavier songs. Most of the songs on the first half of the album are very
memorable with, “Seven Stars”, being
the song I think about when I want to listen to this album. The second half of
the album is where it starts to drop off and go weird. What I mean is, the
final song which is also the title track, sounds more like a space ship docking
and departing in outer space than an actual song.
If you bought the deluxe edition version of the album you
also received a second disc with six acoustic tracks. Half of these songs are
covers and the other half are different versions of their own songs. Overall
the second disc is a nice addition to the album and enjoyable to listen to if
you dig acoustic.
Fates Warning
crafted an album that they can call all their own and it shows. Theories
of Flight is a pretty good album with some great songs. Personally, I
really like this album much more than Dream
Theater’s new album The Astonishing. This album is
definitely one to check out and for all of you progressive metal and rock fans
this is an album not to miss.
Top 3 Songs:
1) “Seven Stars”
2) “The Light and
Shade of Things”
3) “SOS”
