Source-derived summary

The Fullness of Time is progressive metal band Redemption's second album overall, but the first to feature a band lineup, as opposed to a project lineup as found on the 2003 eponymous debut and featuring James Sherwood and Chris Quirarte of Prymary on bass guitar and drums, respectively. The vocals were provided by Fates Warning singer Ray Alder, who previously produced the first album and provided vocals for one song. This is the only album with Sherwood on the bass.

Reception

The album generally received positive reviews from magazines and webzines. Writing for Blabbermouth, Scott Alisoglu also praised the album and commented that the 16-minute track "Sapphire" was the standout piece of the album. Metal Storm's review was also complimentary calling it a "masterpiece."

Track listing

All songs written by Nick Van Dyk.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “The Fullness of Time” as album by Redemption. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Fullness, Time and album.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2003—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2005. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Fullness, Time and album providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “The Fullness of Time”, the useful work is to connect “album by Redemption” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7735438. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
