From the beginning I would like to say that this album is ,in my humble opinion the best SHADOW GALLERY work ever!It's a huge step forward compared to the impressive debut album,but this second one is simply breathtaking under all aspects!Production,musicianship,technical level,conception-EVERYTHING!This is like once in a lifetime,when magic is touching the inspiration of a band!All the songs are wonderful and the major impact of the album is caused by the dearly missed MIKE BAKER- a fantastic vocalist which is delivering here some fabulous vocal parts-very passioned and beautiful!He has an impressive range of vocal expressions and on this album here,Baker really shines!CLIFFHANGER-the opening track is like a smash in your face...one of the best opening track ever!It has everything to catch the attention,to hook the audience!Great chorus and vocal harmonies,amazing drums provided by a fabulous drummer here KEVIN SOFFERA-trully fabulous...super musicianship...crunchy guitar parts and a great atmosphere!!!All the album goes in a crescendo and in the end we realise thet here SHADW GALLERY is touching perfection on CARVED IN STONE!!!!5 STARS for a fabulous album!
