Negative Positive
Title: buy this cd
Review: After hearing parts of Shadow Gallery's "Carved In Stone" cd, I had decided that this was a band that I would ignore. But I borrowed "Tyranny" from a friend. And it has lived in my cd player ever since. It has all the elements of a prog. classic. It starts with the Dream Theater inspired "Stiletto in the Sand" and "War for sale". From there, the band mixes styles of hard and soft rock, while keeping a prog style intact. There are really no over the top, complex odd-time signatures. The song writing is very good and mysterious with "Hope for us" and "Christmas day". All in all, a very good and impressing album from Shadow Gallery.
Is the review positive or negative?
