Description

'Reflections Of A Shadow' turned out to be Rage's last American release for a long time, the band being an unfortunate casualty of Noise Int.'s label problems and the growing disinterest in all things metal in 1990. 'Reflections' at the time was still not up to par of 'Perfect Man' but it was still a quite solid record. The first half of the record is only so-so, with 'Flowers That Fade in My Hand' being a touching tribute to Peavey Wagner's father, but it slowly builds as the record wears on. By the time you reach the title track, you've hit the great tracks that make this album so endearing over time. Rage was slowly blending a better sense of melody, partly due to Wagner's ever-improving vocals. A larger sense of song dynamics gives the record a wider array of attack. Track listing: 1.
