Product description
Compared to its predecessors, the album "A Pleasant Shade Of Gray" consisting of one single song divided in twelve sections might in fact seem quite gray; however, as the title already gives away, you will find many different shades. As this album is often considered as Jim Matheos's solo project, Fates Warning are darker and more spherical than ever before.

6.We only say goodbye - Soundcheck
by Björn Thorsten Jaschinski (29.09.2006) This album consisting of one single song divided into twelve chapters is one of the most controversially received and at the same time bravest statements of Jim Matheos. Its arrangement has always reminded me of the epic "The ivory gate of dreams" which almost ten years ago had already been a challenge for singer Ray Alder on his first album with the band, "No exit" (1988). However, the band had progressed from their bombastic, mystical sound universe over the years and releases. "A pleasant shade of grey" in its entity is much more punishing, darker and a lot more percussive. The melodies are almost completely in the hand of Ray's voice, guitar genius Matheos remains quite song subordinated. Instead, bombast and heavy riffs dominate together with acoustic guitars, a dominant bass and many spherical keyboards of Kevin Moore (ex-Dream Theater). There are quite some parallels to his solo vehicle Chroma Key. This package contains the live DVD from the tour for the album, which was previously only available on video tape.
