IMAGES AT TWILIGHT

The second studio album from canadian art rock band Saga named "Images at Twilight" is right at the top of their studio achievments. It beutifully merges progressive and pop tendencies of the band and prooves that structural complexity is not always a measure of quality.

Progressive elements are reduced compared to their first album, but it is a sheer intelligence of compositing and a great feeling for melody and atmosphere that make this album so magnificent.

There is not a single week composition or a filler on this album. "It's Time" is a perfect starter, bristling with energy and intelligent ideas. The flow continues with every song that follows, reaching its peak with "Images (Chapter One)", the most progressive song on the album with atmosphere that causes goosebumps.

"Images at Twilight" is without a doubt one of the highlights of Saga's discography and, I dare to say, one of the best art rock albums ever created. If you do not know Saga yet, I would highly reccomend you to start with "Images at Twilight".
