EDGE OF THORNS

This album is actually a bridge which follows to a place where there's no turning back, and if you fall from that bridge you 're dead,if you cross it ,you are alive for once again..Think about it.How many bands did change their singer and kept going on?Savatage biggest risk in their career.They became more commercial but that's ok.They gave us great songs.Look at Criss Oliva's guitar playing,so clean, so fast , so melodic.My opinion is that Criss Oliva made the best guitar solos in the scene of Heavy Metal.This album has magnificent guitar work, nice vocals(a lot different from Jon Oliva).Bass and drums are just ok.This is a great album.Melodic heavy metal or hard rock if you like.The only thing that is worse with this album is that it was the last album that Savatage did with Criss Oliva.He died in a car accident at 17th of October 1993.It's such a pity for a 30 year old guy to die from another guy who was accused a lot of times in the past for driving drunk..
