Negative Positive
Title: Very Good
Review: This is just a note in response to some of the other reviews.>>> I love Fates Warning. However...1. Although Jim Matheos is a good guitar player, but he is no shred master by a long shot (in the vein of Yngwie, Paul Gilbert, etc.). Actually, IMHO, he's more gifted at songwriting than at playing blinding guitar solos. His solos fit the songs very well, but the word "shred" never comes to mind for me whatsoever.2. A reviewer also wrote that Ray Alder (whose voice I love) can "easily hit notes higher than Halford or Tate." This reviewer must not be a singer; all of the aforementioned singers peak out about where all other great metal vocalists do at the high end when executing those wails/screams - approximately at or between the G and A notes that one would find on the 15th - 17th fret of the high E string on a guitar.
Is the review positive or negative?
