Review

Shades of Grey is the first solid effort from Shitar.  The band embarked on a double album this time around, showing growth and stronger songwriting relative to their previous efforts.  Dreaming was Shitar's first bonafide hit and Paradise Can't Last Forever a moderate one.   Incorporated on this album was John's penchant for writing epics such as Lost Without You, Childhood Dreams and Honor Above All.  Surely, a sign of things to come.  The elder Gorney cousin also showed off his pop writing skills on The Great Amen -- again, a sign of things to come.

Rating (Out of *****)
