Title: Must Love Power Rock Ballads
Product review: If you answer yes to the statement above... this may be worth a listen. This is my first experience with Shadow Gallery and, unfortunately, it doesn't peak my curiosity to check out any of their other discs.The musicians are talented, the engineering great, some instrumental passages are outstanding ("Manhunt", "The Archer of Ben Salem", "Room V"), and so what's my problem, you ask? Many of the songs are mediocre at best ("Comfort Me", "Torn", "Encrypted"), the backing vocals remind me of corny 90's power rock ballads, and the most notable issue are the weak melodies, almost comical at times.The standard edition does not list the band members or what they play, who produced or recorded it, special thanks, etc. This is the only disc I own without liner notes!
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
