The eighth album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
A number of guests added keyboards and backing vocals.
The band returned again after a three years long break.
This album is clocking in at fifty-five minutes.
The band continued on as a prog metal band after the change from a heavy and power metal band a couple of albums ago.
The music on A Pleasant Shade Of Gray are far more progressive rock than on previous albums. The band has not become a progressive rock band, though. There are still some metal here.
Nevertheless, there is a lot of symphonic prog here in between some progressive metal stuff.
The guitars and vocals are, as usual good.
Not all the music here is good. There is still a lot to be happy about here and the result is a pretty good album, well worth checking out.
