FULL CIRCLE

I was interested in Saga's early albums, and still believe ,that they were one of bands, who build the basis to neo-prog. After they changed their direction and I just forgot about them for years.

So, return back to form? Yeas and no at the same time. Yes - they are playing similar music they started with. No - that music is uninspired. Shortly, they know how to play, but don't have to much to say.

All other comments are just nuances. Voice is recogniseable, music competent, they even use some heavy guitars in few places. So, everything sounds quite nice. But after you will finish to listen this album, you will never remember too much. Competent music, good sound, nothing is wrong. But - professionalism without soul.

Generaly higher than average album for Saga fans, but far from their early works. All in all 3,5.
