I’ve read over the years that It was very much a ‘ Diamond Dave ‘ album..which was probably the start of the end of the Roth-VH Era.

I personally much prefer this album over Fair Warning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all the Morrison albums but they struck gold on the first two. Sometimes I think I prefer SD. Yep! Strange Days wins for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 18 hours ago, Segue Myles said: Streets was my first album by them, but I'd rate it fairly low these days. I'd put this, Gutter Ballet, Sirens and Edge Of Thorns higher. One of my favourite bands and discographies I liked Edge of Thorns but it was a "its ok" sort of like. Sirens I enjoyed more. When it comes to Gutter Ballet, sigh. That was a major dud for me. Pity since it sort of ruined their momentum from Hall of the Mountain King. I know I am in a minority with that feeling - most Savatage fans really like it but I never enjoyed it. Perhaps I will check it out again once of these days. I do recognize that was a bridge album from Hall to Streets. But I just did not enjoy it. Power of the Night on the other hand... My 3rd favorite Savatage album. That album I enjoyed a lot. Also, and this again puts me in a very small minority, I kind of liked Fight for the Rock. Not crazy for it but I enjoyed it. But I can defiantly see how folks would not like it.

So, you enjoyed Savatage earlier in their career when they were generic and sounded like every other metal band out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Overnight Sensation by Motorhead today, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Of The Night is really great, I don't care what some fans say. Fight For The Rock is listenable, it just could have been released by anyone I love all their albums after Edge Of Thorns. I just think they are one of the very, very best bands of all time. A lack of mainstream success doesn't change my perception that they were quietly super influential on later trending sounds and styles, same with Kings X. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own, just happy to see Savatage get some love! I for one think Sirens and Dungeons Are Calling are classics. Reminds me to check out Nevermore again. Three albums I've tried, and they were all major wins for me. Edited April 18, 2023 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
