When it comes to neo-classical progressive albums, Artension's first two outings were probably some of the best ever recorded. Into the Eye of the Storm and Phoenix Rising were hitting on all cylinders, destroying all others in the genre, with Kuprij's excellent keyboarding and John West's even better vocals. Could Forces of Nature possibly live up to their incredible standard? Close, but no. Forces of Nature is a little more than a half of an excellent album and a little less than half of something on the caliber of Future World, which is an album that is not bad, but it is also not that great, either.
