FULL CIRCLE

Somehow I could never get a grip on the three releases around the millenium change by my beloved Saga. Starting with this Full Circle followed by House of Cards and ending with Marathon I will try to express my feeling about these three that sound a bit flat and common to me.

The opener Remember When is a good example of my statement. I simply don't know what to think of this one. It's ok, but it doesn't grab me in any way. Next track The One makes more impact on me but I can't really embrace this one either. Follow Me is more of a funny track in typical Saga fashion but also here I'm not quite grabbed by the throat I have to say. And in fact the entire album works on me like this.

It leads to an uninspired review I fear. Most Saga albums (and they made many as we know) have a certain impact on me, whether it's a positive (mostly) or negative (rarely) one. But Full Circle leaves me unmoved really. I mean, it's not even bad or poor but it's a bit palish and flat like I said. Still good music, so typical three stars.
