Warthur
The second Threshold album is the sole studio album the group would release during Glynn Morgan's original run as their lead vocalist. He's returned more recently and has been back on lead vocals from Legends of the Shires onwards; I've yet to hear the band's most recent albums, so I don't know how he's evolved since here, but it has to be said that he feels just a touch more generic than Wilson's distinctive, emotive vocal style from the band's debut album.

Fortunately, the band's musical evolution has continued apace since their debut, with the result that what you get here is an acceptable but not especially spectacular vocalist performing against an absolutely killer musical backing. In a prog metal context, that's a combination you can absolutely work with, as the band do here. Perhaps less of a breakthrough than their first album, this is still a solid release which sees them avoiding the dreaded second album slump.
