John Arch - A Twist of Fate (2003)

Cost: 99¢
Take a wild guess as to which two bands the music made by three Fates Warning guys plus Mike Portnoy is going to sound most like.  Other than the admittedly strong selling point of having John Arch on vocals, this really isn't different enough from either later Fates Warning or Dream Theater for me to be very enthusiastic about it.  John's vocals are still in absolutely tremendous shape (see: Keep It True 2016), so it's disappointing he's only done more modern proggy stuff with Jim Matheos since his return, and nothing more in line with those classic first three Fates Warning albums.
