Hallway of the Gods is an album by the Legendary Pink Dots, released in 1997.[3][4]
Critical reception
The Columbus Dispatch thought that "the acoustic, Bowie-esque 'Lucifer Landed', with its grandiose strings and woodwinds, is mesmerizing, and the psychedelic 'The Hanged Man' feels like a musical out-of-body experience."[5] The Denver Post stated: "Something of a Pink Floyd for the '90s, the Dots offer gnarled psychedelic pop, weird tape effects and spooky lyrics."[6]
AllMusic wrote that "this 1997 entry from the band's continuing exploration in dark psychedelia is, like so many of the Legendary Pink Dots' efforts, a winner in both quiet and overwhelming modes."[1]
