Negative Positive
Title: Shining example of progressive metal!
Review: This is one of my absolute favourite CDs. Not only is it my favourite among my Threshold collection - and not a shabby one among them - it is one CD I am always in the mood to listen to.This also ranks as one of the best debut albums of all time. Based on the ideas and themes in Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant trilogies - see "Lord Foul's Bane" and "The Wounded Land" (from which the title of this CD came) for starters.Features the excellent vocals of the unparalleled Damian Wilson, who left the band and later returned for the album Extinct Instinct. You can also hear Damian's contributions vocally to Star One and Ayreon. Those are also highly recommended. The Wounded Land is also a great introduction to the duel metal guitar craft of Nick Midson and Karl Groom.Highlights (if forced to choose some favourites) include: Mother Earth, Sanity's End, Paradox, Keep It With Mine.Definitely a must have for the serious music fan.
