SAVED BY YOU

"Saved By You" is a poppish song which can not be considered as one of their greatest songs, I'm afraid. This status will be limited to their work featured on their albums. More progressive and elaborate tracks. This one is just a pleasant commercial song which won't have any influence on further work.

"Lady Luck" is a mellow rock song. We have been used to these type of songs already but this one really belongs to Pendragon's average catalogue. Somewhat commercial but soulless (it will remind me some later Marillion work - post Fish era of course). Uninspired all the way through.

"Chase The Jewel" is probably the only song here that will perpetrate the Pendragon tradition. Nice and emotional vocals with a great guitar break. Do we expect anything else from the band ?

The last song of this EP, "Elephants Never Grow Old" is another very pleasant one. Not dramatically important of course, just nice. And the band will prevent that these songs would be repeated on their standard studio albums (they will still appear on some compilation ones like "Once Upon A Time - Vol. 2)

This EP's will be presented in its entirety in the compilation called "The Rest Of Pendragon". The material proposed here won't belong to their best one. This effort can hardly be considered as essential. It is just a collector item with average songs but I will rate it two stars.
