Excellent album reminiscent of Worlds Apart,
By "jacostep2" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House Of Cards (Audio CD)
I can't understand why these guys are not more popular here in the states. The music on House is their tightest and most progresive while very listenable and well-developed as they always have been but since they are probably all in their fifties they still rock nonetheless. My favorite tracks are Runaway and Ashes to Ashes as they remind me most of the aforementioned early '80s disc. All of the original members are here with Ian (guitar) Chricton taking center stage on most of the tracks. He seems to have gotten some lessons from Steve Morse or Al di Meola since Full Circle. Steve Negus' drumming seems unimpressive albeit steady as I do miss the electronic drums from Worlds and Heads or Tales; OK, so I am lost in the '80s. Even if you are a marginal fan, this is a must-have as this band is one of the more listenable prog. bands to have ever come out. I don't get tired of listening to it. I guess we can learn something from the Germans who appreciate a good Canadian band, eh? Oh yeah, and what's the deal with the cover?

Saga's Back !,

This review is from: House Of Cards (W/1 Bonus Track) (Audio CD)
After hearing Saga's return to form CD,"Full Circle" & loved it,I thought the next one would be as good or a little better,but I was wrong ,this is a lot better,better hooks ,better production ,better feel.They have deftly created their best work since "World's Apart".The mix of prog & tasteful pop sensibilities is sooooo well done.I have been a fan of Saga since the 1st album in 1978,& I guarantee you if you are a Saga fan this experience will be pure joy !I listened to it 3 times in a row & that rarely happens-very special indeed !

Best of the new,
By A Customer
This review is from: House Of Cards (Audio CD)
First let me say that this is the best of the most recent Saga cds. It's got something for everyone. If you enjoy the 'Prog' sounding Saga - it's here. And if you enjoy the 'Pop' Saga it's here. Very good mix of both.Some here will say this is a good follow-up to Full Circle. I say this is way better. Full Circle does not have the stand out tracks this cd has. If you are wondering what Saga sounds like and would like to get one of their more recent cds get this one. My favorite tracks are Money Talks, Always There and Only Human. But a strong cd overall. Only song I am not fond of is Ashes to Ashes. If you don't have any Saga music I would recommend this of their newer cds but Worlds Apart is their best bar none.
