This was the first Threshold album I bought. I wanted to get into other prog metal bands. Light And Space was the first Threshold song I listened to. It made me by this album. I really like the keyboards. The keyboards make a prog metal band a prog metal band, in my opinion. They use great keyboards. I really love the keyboards on Light And Space and Keep My Head.
I like how they begin with keyboards on the tracks. That's a really good way to start a song. The guitars are really good. They are really fast. The opening riff on The Ravages Of Time is really fast. Long Way Home also has a fast opening riff. Even though there isn't any pinch harmonics to be heard on this album, the guitars are still really good. Pinch harmonics would sound really good on Narcissus on the opening solo. I would give this album a 100 if pinch harmonics were present on the album. The guitar solos are pretty cool though.
If you want to purchase your first Threshold album, this is the one to get. If you're a prog metal fan and don't know about these guys, you will not be disappointed.
