Album of the Week #16: April 16th - Sleepwalking (1988) -- 30th Anniversary

Now dark forces all around me

They will not be denied

Lifes, fates and fortunes flicker past

Unveiled before my eyes

I hear the magic storm

Or could it be in my head

Subconscious is drifting far away

I gotta keep moving, gotta keep one step ahead

What this is:

This is a discussion thread to share thoughts, memories, or first impressions of albums which have lived through the decades. Maybe you first heard this when it came out or are just hearing it now. Even though this album may not be your cup of tea, rest assured there are some really diverse classics and underrated gems on the calendar. Use this time to reacquaint yourself with classic metal records or be for certain you really do not "get" whatever record is being discussed.

These picks will not overlap with the r/metal AOTWs.
