Fates Warning definitely stands as one of my favorite bands, and I especially enjoy Disconnected, Perfect Symmetry and Parallels (whom I all consider as great introductions to the band as well). I would also point out that Mark Zonder is one of the most unique and creative drummers I know of, and manages to push the band even further!

Me too, maybe they are heavy metal rather than progressive metal albums but well, I am a metal fan anyway so that was not a consideration, I liked those albums a lot more, in fact they rank among my all time favourite heavy metal albums, the later albums always came across as sounding too "friendly" to me and I have never been able to shake that feeling off, as a result never really got anywhere with them either.

I like this band a lot, but would give nothing over 4 stars, I think. Everything between 3-4. I have almost all the albums.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

i would recommend parallels, or pleasant shade of gray. You could also really enjoy the live album still life, it you want something heavier, awaken the guardian is a classic, with quite a different sound

Yeah ,they were all outstanding efforts, i was impressed how they completely changed up their style from awken the guardian ( a great disc in its own right).
