This month’s request comes from our good friend Charles Florio who asked us to discuss Fates Warning’s second album, 1985’s The Spectre Within. After three episodes covering the 90s era of the band, this marks our first review of a John Arch-era record. Tune in to see how the early days of Fates Warning compare to the proggier years yet to come.
