Room V

Their fifth album, divided into Act III and Act IV of the story begun on Tyranny.
Shadow Gallery, 2005

The tracklist is divided into Act III and Act IV, continuing the story after the two acts of Tyranny, and the title again nods to V for Vendetta. Rainer Kalwitz made the cover art, as he had for Tyranny. Baker sings lead; Cadden-James plays bass and flute, Allman guitars, Wehrkamp guitars and keyboards and Joe Nevolo drums, with guests including Laura Jaeger, Libby Molnar, Mark Zonder and Arjen Lucassen. Europe got it on May 30, 2005 per the artist page. A special edition added a bonus disc including a 24-minute Pink Floyd medley and a CD-ROM, The Story of Room V. ProgArchives users rate it 95 percent and Sea of Tranquility gave 4.5 of 5. We found no recording dates or studio.
