Okay, Nick Barretts vocals might not be up to scratch, but who cares when you encounter such a beautifully produced and written album. It is simply stunning. If you're a fan of progressive rock, then "The Masquerade Overture" is a definite must-have for any collection.

There are few albums that make you stand up in front of your speakers and conduct but this is one of them.
The music in this is so engorssing to listen to, and when you try to play along with it it makes you feel like a guitar legend no matter what your actual ability is.
Mr N. Barrett must have taken a few lessons from Mr D. Gilmour over the years but he's really taken that strat into the stratorphere (My Les Paul doesn't go that high).
Beautiful stuff.
Regarding the vocals, I really believe (and there's another album) that the vocals fit the music really well and it's hard to imagine anyone else getting the same meaning out of the fairly abstract lyrics.
And just to end it all, a solo that easily competes with Comfortably Numb.

This is the first Pendragon album that I bought recently, after reading plenty of positive reviews of the band. I find the album to be a thoughtful piece of music with some powerful and moving sections. One or two moments are reminiscent of Pink Floyd. So if you like David Gilmour's soaring guitar work then you'll really enjoy this album. I highly recommend it.

Sounds like it says on the tin, sadly
I bought this after hearing 'Pure' (Pendragon's 2009 album) and I probably should have expected what I got from the respective album titles. Read more

No Masquerade, Pure Reality!
I came across Pendragon via a friend's recommendation of this album and I was not disappointed! This re-master with bonus tracks has a little bit of extra shine, but in reality,... Read more
