Prog fans rejoice!
Digital Ghosts is an excellent record. While I miss Mike Baker, his replacement is quite capable. Shadow Gallery have improved their production skills, and this is the best-sounding of all their records. They have also improved their songwriting, and they are doing some things with vocal harmonies that they have never done before. Highlight tracks are "With Honor," "Haunted," and especially the title track.

I won't go as far as to say that this is their best record overall, simply because I enjoy Legacy and Room V so much, but Digital Ghosts as strong an effort as any they have produced thus far. I recommend this record unreservedly.

Update: After a few listens, this is definitely their best record.

Shaddow Gallery with another great album
If you are a fan of Shadow Gallery or prog-metal, you'll probably like this one. Another solid effort by this band, I believe it's even better than their previous album, Room V. Joe Nevolo plays drums on only 2 song and singer Mike Baker passed away before recording any songs (and his voice will trully be missed), but the band now has Brian Ashland who does a more than decent job, plus a few guests to make an interesting album.

I only wish we could see a live version of this band.

Excellent Craftsmanship
This Album is a true craft to the artistry of music, it blends all styles into a single focused body of work that shows the true talents of Shadow Gallery.

Thanks Guys!
I love Shadow Gallery and was very saddened by the death of Mike Baker. That is why I was so glad to learn that the band would continue on in the memory of the fallen singer. Of course, my first thought was who can replace Baker? And the answer is no one, but new singer, Brian Ashland, is very good in his own right. To be honest, when I first listened to Digital Ghosts (before I read who the guests were) I thought that Geoff Tate had sang on a few of the songs. Specifically, the songs Pain and Gold Dust. I later found out that Ashland sang these songs. I was very surprised by this, because it really sounds like Geoff Tate...I mean really. So can Ashland hold his own? Most definitely. For the other aspects of the album, this is still Shadow Gallery playing exceptional progressive metal. If you are a fan of their other albums, you will love Digital Ghosts. Even without Baker. The compositions are still complex yet accessible. The instrumentation is still impeccable. The songs are memorable. It is most definitely a Shadow Gallery album, and I couldn't be happier with where they are in the post-Baker era.

The Latest, the best
Shadow Gallery is one of the finest, most skilled bands I've heard in a while. I mean a while. I listened to all the Prog bands in the 70's, despaired of the falloff of Prog in the 80's and rejoiced about it's resurgance in the 90's. So by now,there seems to be a new and higher level of musicianship in the world. Thankyou! These guys know their instruments, but also know the craft of producing clever and interesting music. I'll admit, I had to listen to "Digital Ghosts" a couple of times to wrap my brain around it. I found myself listening to it more often until I could hear it in my head. Despite the fact that they lost one of their musical brothers, this latest effort will satiate anyone's appitite for a great album. Highly recommended Prog music.
