Saga - The Human Condition
Thursday, February 11, 2010
I'm going to have to agree with the Prof Brian...4/10 is way too low a rating for this album. I've been a fan of Saga since I first saw "Don't Be Late" on MTV (when it was actually..Music Television) and the Human Condition rates a very strong 9/10 for me.
I'll admit to being apprehensive about a new singer..after all..we've all grown accustomed to the unique vocals Michael Sadler brings to Saga, but I'm always open to change...especially when change is fantastic: enter Rob Moratti.
Moratti's vocals are a breath of fresh air for Saga and I really like the harder edge and modern prog direction the band took with "The Human Condition" I was like..wow..after hearing the 1st track....I mean..I've always been impressed with Ian's guitar work (since I'm partial to the guitar) but he really should be sharing the mantle with Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page as one of the best guitarists ever!
The new drummer Brain Doerner is just dynamite....I was pleasantly surprised - I didn't think anyone would be able to step and fill Jim Gilmour's shoes...but he did so effortlessly.
Buy this cd and leave your expectations of hearing the same ole same ole Saga - spin it a few times and you'll discover a new Saga..and a damned good album!

Correction on my previous post...I incorrectly referred to Saga's previous drummer as Jim Gilmour..I meant to type Steve Negus. I shouldn't be listening to Saga while reviewing :)
