so...Edge Of Thorns, Poets And Madmen or Sirens?

[Wicked Child]

Ok, on my next Cd shopping venture (whenever that will be), I wanna pick up 1 of the 3 Savatage albums I need to complete my collection on Savatage end of things. I will most likely only be able to buy 1, thanks to low finances, so don't say "get them all", or something. PLEASE HELP!

1. Edge Of Thorns
2. Sirens
3. Poets and Madmen

Both Sirens and Edge Of Thorns are very cool albums, but I personally think Poets & Madmen is the best of the 'modern' Savatage-era albums.

I don't know about all. But anything with Criss Oliva would be a sure thing. The band went down the crapper with his passing. Great guitarist. Yoo know who was the real talent between Jon & Criss.
RIP-CRISS.
Edge of Thorns->

Edge of Thorns->

I personally feel that they fed off of each other Take one out of the mix and it fucks it all up Criss oliva in my mind is the Greatest Guitar player of all time but thats just me. In Jons defense He is VERY talented He has written some my favorite songs "Poets and Madmen" Is The best Sava. Outing in a while!!!!!

I agree with Jonny. They fed off each other. But also, they were both among the best at what they did. Criss is one of the greatest guitar players to ever pick up the instrument and Jon is a fucking powerful vocalist on both emotional levels and physical levels. Not only is he a great vocalist, but he is a fantastic piano/keyboard player. The best. And i actualy like the post Criss stuff! Alot! Dead Winter Dead is one of my favorite albums!

 

[TheGraveDigger]

All three are great but I would go with Sirens next.

Wicked you said it all Bro. I also like the post Criss stuff myself Jon IS a great talent And Al Pitrelli is no Criss Oliva But he surely is next in line in my Book He also can play those guitar lines that make your eyes well up with tears LONG LIVE SAVATAGE

Edge of Thorns is an all-time classic, get it first!

Sirens is also great, and Poets a bit underrated, solid stuff.

I´d go for Sirens, then Edge Of Thorns...
