SILENT KNIGHT

With 'Silent Knight', Saga delivered one of the best 'chapters' in the series, 'Don't Be Late' (Chapter Two). One of their proggiest numbers, very well written and executed, and a classic among classics. The way the song is built is magnificent. Other songs like 'Compromise', 'Too much to lose (Chapter Seven)', 'Help Me Out' and 'Careful Where you Step' are all Saga classics, but for the first time in Saga's career, some weaker songs, such as the horrid 'What's it gonna be?', 'Time to Go' and 'Someone Should' were recorded, and even though the rest of the songs are great, the overall quality of the album suffered from those songs. I therefore give this album 3.5 stars.
