First, I have, as probably all been looking forward to the return of Michael Sadler. An exceptional singer! With Human Condition I was never really warm due to the thin voice of Rob Morati. This suited my opinion, simply not. Musically it very cool. Please Einsingen new with Mr. Sadler! That would be a grenade album. So, now to the new work of our favorite band of all. I was very curious to see what is waiting for me at ease. An album back to the roots or something completely new experementielles. Listen After three times I'm still relatively pleased with the disc. Bubble but the same tune as many here, the production is not the best. The drums are too thin and the voice of Michael meisst something too much in the background, while the guitar of Ian Crichton places too much emphasis. Is a matter of taste. What bothers me, however, partly something that is rumgedudel Ian's on the guitar. I miss this epic keyboard / guitar duels the SAGA account and on the previous albums such as Trust or 10000 Days were present. I'm missing here songs like Lifeline, Its your life etc. songs that ignite immediately and some catchy have character. The song "Ellery" I find but not as bad as many people think here. "Ball and Chain" SAGA is old school. Just crazy. "Lost for Words" and a dream. The song brings an immediate effect and an invitation to dream. In each song individually, I now go not one that others have already made. Fortunately, I find not a single failure on this album. I think a lot of whining here at a high level. What would happen if this album is a debut album of a newcomer would ... probably here all would write, damn cool, on the other albums of this hopeful band it will be interesting. So it is but thank God "only" SAGA, for me, the hottest band on the planet that make horny albums for decades and stand out clearly from the rest. I'm with the band grown up and they have been with me through all the ups and downs in my life and donated their music consolation and hope. Will reduce SAGA always on their "Big Four" SAGA does not do justice. These are masterpieces, not of this world. The bet can not beat you. People can not do that !!
I'm glad that even make the "Boys" music and releasing albums, because what still remain for us ?? for good bands !! There's not much left.
Conclusion: SAGA Fans can buy the album without hesitation and enjoy. It has not become a "Steel Umbrellas" or "Pleasure & the Pain". A repeated thank God !! :) Thanks.
