I recently got it and I love it 🤘 It's like the Empire of Fates Warning well maybe not I am not familiar with their albums after Inside Out which I think is their worst album. Alotta early Fates Warning fans who were into their first 3 or 4 albums would hate the album. I personally think it's one of their best albums along with Perfect Symmetry like their early stuff is good but they sounded too much like Iron Maiden but in a good way even though I wouldn't label them an Iron maiden clone except for their debut album. Great melodic songs like Eye to Eye.

It's OK but not one of their best albums. "Empire" is much better.

I love this album and have for a long time. It's probably been about a year or so since I put it in the player. I tend to gravitate more toward the first 3 or 4 FW albums or the most recent two. Glad that you are enjoying it.

I've always liked this album. It's a good prog-rock disc.

Pretty decent. Not my favorite FW by a long shot, though.

I like Parallels a lot. It's a classic IMO.

I agree with you - it is a fantastic album. The only Fates Warning I don't like is inside out - to cop another Queensryche comparison, inside out is fates warning's hear in the now frontier

I dig Parallels alot, although I like their '85-'87 years better, as well as Perfect Symmetry. The vocals and lyrics I like much better in the Ray Alder years, no more of that silly "dancing with the banshee" stuff and Ray Alder rules.

But I love the guitars from "Spectre", Guardian" and "No Exit" the most.

I agree with the Queensryche comparisons stated above.

2 songs from this album made me a fan of the band. So I love it!

This is a great album. But,No Exit is my favorite from the Ray Alder era.

Really like Parallels. I have enjoyed everything that they have done over the years and especially like A Pleasant Shade Of Gray. Saw them live twice on that tour, in Houston and Fort Worth, and they did a remarkable job of duplicating the album live. Great band and one of my top bands of all-time.

This is actually the only Fates Warning album I own. Prog metal maybe, but Point of View and We Only Say Goodbye are just good, catchy songs.

And it doesn't sound like Empire, it's more llke Mindcrime in my opinion.

Proggy without losing me with some long drawn out playing that I think only the musicians like.

By far my favorite FW album. One of the few I consider just about perfect from start to finish.

"Parallels" is probably my fav FW album, w/ "Perfect Symmetry" and "No Exit" in a tie for 2nd place. Great stuff! "Living Life In Still Water" gets stuck in my head even weeks after I've listened to the album Very Happy

I think it's a fantastic album...not a bad song to be found. Ray sounds amazing on this album and the melodies are amazing.

That was my first Fate's album and I agree with you. I love that album and HitNF was horrid apart from that one good song. I really like Parallels and it is IMO on par with Inside Out. Compared to old Fates, those two albums arent necessarily better (though I prefer them), just different.

Been spinning this one a lot lately (have been on a FW kick the last weeks!), and often just let it repeat play in the car! I too get the Empire vibe from it. A really impressive album -focused, well-crafted, tasteful and thoughtful, with a mix of catchy songs and more atmospheric ones. The only complaint I have is that Eye to Eye is too reminiscent of Through Different Eyes for me, but in the scheme of the album, I can live with it!
