J2112YYZ Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Savatage- The Wake Of Magellan (9/10)Savatage- Poets And Madmen (9/10) I forgot how much I love Savatage. It's been five minutes since I last played them. SHOCK! These are the two albums I've played the least, I love getting to them. PaM is especially brilliant Morphine Child is fantastic! It is! Savatage, I'm so grateful to this forum. I love them so much I can't really explain it. How are they so underappreciated? Jon Olivia doesn't exactly have the most appealing voice. They are kind of hard to label as well. Are they metal? Prog? Rock opera? Symphonic metal? It's tough for some bands to find a bigger audience when neither the fans or the music promoters can describe what exactly they are. Also, Edge Of Thorns did get some radio play when the album came out but they never really had any singles that could help them attract more fans.

The Jon albums are great but your right his voice is not easy to swallow at all........i kept thinking meat loaf in his prime could front Savatage and absolutely nail those songs much better than it's own writer can, lol Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Meat Loaf could have done wonders with so much of their material. Fine points made. All in all, I am just grateful I got to discover them, and I'm pretty sure it's down to this forum.

custom55 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Released this day in 1973. Brilliant music. I remember when HOTH was released. Senior in high school and my buddy had a very hi-tech cassette deck in his Volkswagen Bug ( YELLOW ! ). We drove around town for hours blasting the album over and over. The Song Remains the Same and No Quarter really stood out for me on the first listen. I saw Led Zep for the first time that summer at MSG. It was truly an out-of-body experience.

Rick N. Backer Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I picked up The Beatles in Mono Box set. I've been listening to it over the last few days. The box doesn't include Abbey Road and Let it Be, because there are no original mono masters apparently. I'm not an audiophile so I'm not sure I really know what I'm supposed to be listening for in terms of difference. But any excuse to listen to The Beatles discography is welcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 saved their worst received album for last - it's still as great as most their other work, and since all these songs are new to me i'm in a hoeymoon phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Blind Guardian- Battalions Of Fear (7/10)Blind Guardian- Follow The Blind (7/10)Blind Guardian- Tales From The Twilight World (7/10)Blind Guardian- Somewhere Far Beyond (8/10)Blind Guardian- Imaginations From The Other Side (10/10)Blind Guardian- Nightfall In Middle Earth (10/10) I absolutely loved exploring all these in one sitting today. I actually have a super soft spot for the first three albums, I enjoy them all far more than the ratings suggest. But they improve so much, it's unreal, and it's therefore impossible to rate them as high. Styx- Crash Of The Crown (9/10) This album from last year is an absolute delight and I love it more with every spin. In Flames- Come Clarity (10/10) In Flames mean the world to me, and it started here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
