TDD: I think this is a good album - not necessarily a top album in their catalogue, but it's well written and some of the songs are truly great; "Vital Signs" and "On My Way" in particular (reminds me of something that A.C.T. would have done - I guess sometimes the masters become the imitators .. or however you say that haha). It's a little "darker" than most other of their discs though, and it doesn't have the great pop songs like they used to have. Not that it really matters because I like this side of Saga as well. It's definitely the better album over 20/20, which I never got into.
The real kicker for me is the bonus disc with the special edition - that's a really great concert and Sadler sounds amazing. His vocals are just as good as when he was young (and his German is kind of fun to listen to;-)). The new live versions of "Humble Stance", "Mouse In A Maze" and of course "On The Loose" are really awesome.
I guess I did end up talking about a non-metal album on a metal forum - I hope the true-metal-police won't use it against me ...
