Chris Caffery CDs- MAJOR Disappointment!!

[savabich2]

I don't know what to say about this, I ordered Faces and Warped a few weeks ago and have been listening to them steadily for about a week or so.

I was really expecting that someone who played a part in the evolution of Savatage and the birth of TSO would present something along those same lines- something wonderful, majestic and beautiful.

Instead, I was met with a barrage of bitterness, rage and anger.

The vocals are like getting hit in the head with a hammer, just screaming and ugliness and the guitar solos are furious- but without any of the sweetness that Al Pitrelli displays in TSO.

From listening to this, it's hard to believe Chris had anything to do with the last 3 Savatage CDs or TSO.

I just can't understand why someone with this much talent would try so hard to distance himself from what he is so popular for.

I almost cried when I heard this, it's not at all what I wanted from Chris and it makes no sense to me.

I'm going to try to give this a few more listens, there are some soft spots on Faces- Music Man and Bag of Bones but there are absolutely none on Warped.

I just can't help thinking, why? It doesn't sound like Savatage or TSO, it doesn't even sound like anything else out there right now. I couldn't even put it in any one category. I am so upset right now.

Wow.

I listened to Faces, and I thought it was a great album. He's actually a surprisingly good singer and even reminded me of Jon Oliva at times. Of course it's angry, he's releasing stuff that eh can't while he's in Savatage that's why it's a solo album. There'd be no point in making a solo album if it was the same as the band you were in before.

I think Faces is a great album and it deserves more attention. Hell I think it's even on par with Savatage.
