Aug 25, 2011 - Hell yes!!!! Been a Fates Warning fan from The Spectre Within, and I CANNOT wait for this!!! Arch is the man!!!!!

Methrt3 Says:

Aug 26, 2011 - They might as well have called it Fates Warning. Cant wait for this release.

Bruce2504 Says:

Aug 31, 2011 - It sounds like the album was a very natural process and that they took all the time they needed. I guess this really benefits the record and could make it a true masterpiece, the first parts sound stunning!

Sep 17, 2011 - A true masterpiece for progressive metal fans. I can't stop listening to this album. I'm so glad to hear John Arch's voice again! The creativity is through the roof with these guys. Everything sounds very fresh, not like it was masterminded by someone who's been making albums for 30 years like Matheos has. It's obvious his musical well has not run dry, not by a long shot.

Sep 17, 2011 - This album is better than I expected. Just amazing. The drumming is really really good. The drumming sounds similar to Mark Zonder. This is a masterpiece!!!!!

Sep 20, 2011 - Like many others, I have been waiting a long, long time to hear John Arch's unbelievable vocals paired up again with the skill of Jim Matheos' compositions. I would have been happy with a mediocre release just to hear Arch's voice again,well this is not mediocre. This is as good as prog metal gets in any era: 80's , 90's, now, then, future! I'm glad these guys friendship made this cd possible. This is sympathetic resonance in action: collaborative writing and ideas inspiring each other.

Sep 25, 2011 - John, I would like to thank you for taking care of your voice! Thank God, I bet you never put a cigar to mouth! Just goes to show you when your career is on the line, smoking is non-existant!! Definately going out to buy two or three copies for myself and for friends who recognize the magic of prog. rock!!

j800r Says:

Oct 1, 2011 - They can't. That would be the same thing as sacking Ray. Ray is the vocalist for Fates now and has been for YEARS. He's sung way more albums for Fates so nowadays pretty much he's the voice of the band. There are some diehards who can't be swayed and believe Fates died after John was fired, but to me Ray breathed new life into the band. I love John Arch era Fates and it def can't be touched, but Ray Alder Fates is also incredible and Ray has a fantastic voice.

j800r Says:

Oct 1, 2011 - It's not his career. Technically it never was his career. He never made a living from it. He crafts furniture I believe. So if he hasn't smoked (who's to say he hasn't? Russell Allen smokes and still has a monster voice.) or drank much or whatever then it's not been for his career's sake. His career has never been on-the-line.

Methrt3 Says:

Oct 1, 2011 - @j800r my point is that half of anyone who cares about Arch/Matheos is an old Fates fan and why not call it that? I'm sure there are contractual reasons and nothing against Alder, No Exit is there most cohesive record.

MrThebeast664 Says:

Oct 6, 2011 - Thanks giving this to John to sing!!!Amazing!

aldersmoke1 Says:

Oct 10, 2011 - So that's Brian Slagel? I know this is about Arch/Matheos (which is hands-down the best record in its genre in, man, maybe a decade), but I've been seeing Brian's name on great Metal Blade records for 25 years now; how about a shout-out to the man for all he's done for metal? MB's not just a cornerstone of the scene, its frickin FOUNDATION. Thanks for everything, Brian, including making this incredible reunion record possible.

jdu6 Says:

Oct 17, 2011 - me either,,i am sooo happy right now

symebass Says:

Oct 24, 2011 - Sympathetic Resonance is simply the best Progressive Metal album I've heard during the past 10 years, that is a genre definer. I'm really glad that John Arch is back on track again since he's been my favorite vocalist for a long time. I really hope this project goes on and maybe once again become the actual Fates Warning.

killerpopkills Says:

Dec 29, 2011 - Yo fuck these guys and fuck heavy metal. It should have died with the 80's - 90's. Long live the Beach Boys!

progressivemetal4evr Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - , your a dumb ass..you have no idea what skills it takes just to play progressive metal..dumbfuck..fuck the beach boys..pussy.

progressivemetal4evr Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - I love FW..I loved John arch's solo album also. FW is for me what Zeppelin was for kids in the 70's.

vstarblackie Says:

Mar 21, 2012 - I really hope your comment wasn't meant to be taken seriously.  You must have a few screws loose if it was...

BarBandBassist Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Wow - it's Fates Warning!

Gregivy364 Says:
