ROOM V
With
Room VSHADOW GALLERY has decided to continue the story they started two albums ago with
Tyrannya.
I can’t honestly say I’m familiar with the story but listening to this
album objectively (and of course, not considering the storyline of the
lyrics) I’d have to say I like their sound. The guitar and keyboard
work is excellent, very well written, very well performed and of course
the production is great as well. To be totally honest, the jury is
still out on whether or not I like the vocals, on most songs Mike
Baker’s vocals sound a little weak to me, a bit too generic for the
Prog Metal genre. Overall the album sounds good though.
For those of you who will buy this, pay attention to which version you buy, there are two versions of this album, the
single CD version which is just the album on its own, and then a
special edition double CD with slipcase, extended booklet, bonus tracks and a video segment. For the total experience I suggest the special edition.
