Segue Myles Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Savatage- Sirens + The Dungeons Are Calling: The Complete Session (8/10) So I finally bought all this bands albums. Devouring the liner notes, I have to say I'm gobsmacked this album was recorded and mixed in one day! Containing the debut album Sirens and EP The Dungeons Are Calling combined into a running order the band originally envisioned as their debut, I only know this album in this form. I love it so much! It was my second Savatage album after Streets, and I think it is one of the greatest debut albums I have ever heard. Raw and unpolished, this is Savatage at their most bare bones and I find it thrilling! I'm always a bit surprised to see fans rank this fairly low, but it does sound different to what came later, and whilst I rate it very highly, it's not quite god-tier level like, say, Gutter Ballet or Dead Winter Dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Savatage- Hall Of The Mountain King (10/10)Savatage- Gutter Ballet (10/10)Savatage- Streets (10/10) f**k it, this band is so underrated I can't even begin. HAVE ALL THE TENS! Every time this come back to Savatage I love them more than before. This is genuinely great music from a band who still sound ahead of the game today. Savatage are as great as Maiden, Priest, Iced Earth, Nightwish, whoever you want to mention.Savatage are killer! I am a sucker for a metal singer with a unique voice and range. All of the bands you mentioned have that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember exactly when it was, but I have had intense moments with Savatage where they are all I play. I loooooove bold vocals in metal.

Segue Myles Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Savatage- Power Of The Night (6/10) This isn't a bad album, but it isn't amongst their better works. Some of it sounds like discount Priest or along the lines of bands I'm not keen on, notably Accept. I like it. Don't love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Savatage- The Wake Of Magellan (9/10) Prog, symphonic metal, Broadway like choruses... Savatage are basically the inspiration for almost every wave of metal that would sweep over Europe andany other parts of the world in the next decade. Phenomenal album! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Tom Waits-Nighthawks at the Diner (7/10) The beginning of Tom's beatnick piano bar phase. it was never my fav from this period that would be the next album. but this album does show off his offbeat humour and banter with an audience. he's a great storyteller.

bluefox4000 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Tom Waits-Small Change (10/10) My fav from this Waits Era. just so many brilliant songs. and it's this album that sold me on him. Charming witty....Beautiful twisted sad.......this record is stunning. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Savatage- Power Of The Night (7/10) This is growing on me. Savatage- Fight For The Rock (6/10) A mixed bag, this album was sadly the product of a label that didn't know what they were doing with the band, asking them to go more commercial. It's actually quite good, it's got some great moments but it feels closer to a Journey album than Savatage. I like it, it's probably going to grow on me more.

Segue Myles Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Iced Earth- Framing Armageddon (9/10) A much maligned album that I happen to think is a bit of a masterpiece. Meh.

I have yet to listen to them since then, so I don't know if anything has changed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are musicians who have done far worse. If his career, and this band, is over...well...I'm happy to just enjoy what we have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Savatage- Streets (10/10) I think this is one of the greatest concept albums of all time. It is a candidate for my most favourite, definitely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
