Best musical quality of FW?

[bsoates2000]

What in your opinion is FW's best musical quality? Is it the drumming? The guitarwork? The vocals?

That´s a tricky question. For me differnet albums different sounds.

Parallels: the guitars, i shiver when i hear five seconds of the guitarwork. Inside Out, the cold atmosphere. Awaken the Guardian the vocals: Arch was wild and almost unreal on that album. Disconnected: none of the above; the keys. Of corse i can´t take my ears from those drums, like progrocker wrote way back then; Zonder´s effort on that album is simply the best ever made. APSOG, a mixture of the keys and the drums. Perfect Symmetry, Alder´s shrieks. FWX, the groovy, and extremely heavy Tool-ish parts. The forthcoming album: - I I -
