@drdapsoy I've always said that 1990-1993 was the greatest period for metal. The black album, Qryche/Empire, Skid Row/Slave..., Crue/Feelgood, Great White/Hooked, Megadeth/Countdown..., Dream Theater/Images...., Guns N Roses/Illusion, Nirvana, AIC, Savatage/Edge of Thorns, JP/Painkiller, and of course Parallels. And that's only scratching the surface!!!

A classic and HIGHLY underrated metal album! Thanks for this! I saw them when they opened for Queensryche and Dream Theater and was as stoked to see them as I was the other 2 bands and they delivered! Ray Alder is one of the greatest singers of his generation and does not get enough credit for it!

This album was amazing although you can't deny the very strong Queensryche influence. Maybe they wanted to make their own Empire with this one.
The album after this, Inside Out, is even more sublime and beautiful than Parallels.
Its a masterpiece. Just listen to "Island in the Stream" or "Pale Fire."

Can't believe I'm just finding out about this now - thanks Metal Blade for keeping this stuff coming. Fates Warning in my book are the fathers and still undefeated champs of prog metal - they built the bridge that all others since have crossed.

All right folks, who can send me a download link for the DVD of this Special Edition?
Who ever does that I'll send him via FedEx a bag full of candy and delicious sweets from my country. I'm serious.

Awesome, i like it.

Fates Warning..man did they ever peak with Paralleles. Soundtrack to my high school career, tucked silk shirts into b;ack jordashe's even..damn, whhhhops!! lol.
yeah, they fizzled out..but I still champion them, there PS and Paralells era was truly revolutionary for metal/pop fusion. Shit, I thought Taylor Dane had gone hard...jean creaming stuff! Jordashe, that iss.
-
sweet, Parallels is one of my fave albums, although I like them all. I saw them a few times, including at the Mason Jar in Phx when they played the entire Pleasent shade of grey album. Is there ever gunna be any new material?

One of the greatest prog metal bands (and originators) of all time. Hard to believe James LaBrie sings backup on one of those tracks, before his debut with Dream Theater. Brings me right back to '91, when I heard Eye To Eye on Ian O'Malley's Metal Shop (WNEW).
I was at the celebration show yesterday in Los Angeles it was incredible! Mark Zonder,Joe Dibiase,Ray Alder,Jim Matheos,and Frank Aresti.

@immortalsoloist That show was ridiculous! One of the better shows we've been to in the last few years.

The summer/fall of '91 were a pretty magical time. You had The Black Album and Use Your Illusion. You had Ten and Nevermind. You had Crystal Pepsi, Super Nintendo, and Terminator 2. And you had Parallels. Nirvana got the headlines, but Fates changed my little 12 year old life the most. Boy am I glad Ray Alder didn't blow his head off with a shotgun.

Haha! Agreed! Ray Alder is a bad ass. We have a lot of fun hanging out with Ray.

It's in our job description! Either way, we're glad people care enough to comment. Usually comments from metal heads are more intelligent than pop fans, but hey, nobody bats 1.000!
