Shadow Gallery - Room V

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Did anyone else feel really let down by this album?  Tyranny was
just so good, and the compositions set such a high standard. But Room V
seemed to lack in that area.  Too much guitar and keyboard
w**kery, its like theyre trying to be Dream Theater.  For
instance, the song "Room V" couldve been amazing if they didnt go on
that tangent after a couple of minutes. 

This is probably an album where I wouldve been fine with them not "evolving"

	No...I don't agree with you.I think Room V is SG's best album to date.

	I never really liked them that much in the first place, but Room V is not as good sa Tyranny IMO.

	I don't care much for metal, or Shadow Gallery for that matter, but I enjoyed this album.

	Their best album ... but they're all very well made. I recently re-discovered Carved in Stone, it has been on heavy rotation in my player. But Room V is their most mature album and combines the best of their other albums.
