| 4.5 superb | Staker | December 3rd 10 | Brilliant album, far more consistent than Tyranny, and the latter tracks, Torn onwards, are all perfect prog metal songs.

| 4.5 superb | TemperamentalGoat | November 21st 06 | Just had to write in great favour of this album. Comfort Me is one of the defining emotional and melodic highlights where its motif is revisted nicely in Lamentia. Birth of a Daughter and Death of a Mother are 2 minute instrumentals that pair together very well. Torn has a great main guitar line and the song, especially in its closing moments, conveys the singer's emotional difficulties very well. Rain is a heavier point in the album and has great sections instrumentally, although it is hampered slightly by its rather obscure vocal work, notably too much time spent in the higher ranges.
The album on its own is a 4.0 work - excellent, but still with a number of faults. The bonus disc is what sets this apart from the pack, if only for the epic 24-minute behemoth. Floydian Memories is one of the greatest things I've ever heard, even in the scope of progressive metal epics. Although it is a cover of multiple Pink Floyd songs, the transitions from one section to another is so seamless and clean that Shadow Gallery has made the piece their own. Highlights within it include its movement from Julia Dream's chorus to Comfortably Numb's solo, the vocal harmonizations in "Goodbye Blue Sky", and transforming sections of "Point me to the Sky" and "Your Possible Pasts" into something, well, listenable.
If you're a fan of the peerless Pink Floyd, you owe it to yourself to download Floydian Memories if not this entire album.
