Crusader - His Greatest Work,
By Dock "acarin" (Warminster, Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crusader (Audio CD)
Crusader was the first album by Chris de Burgh that I ever heard, back in 1979, and I was an instant convert. While I love much of his early work, Crusader stands out by being consistently superb - it is very rare for me to find an album on which every song is worth listening to time and time again! From the poetic storytelling of the title track (historical accuracy aside, it is a wonderful piece of art to transform such a great story into a song), through to the Gaelic background vocals in 'Carry On', from the homesickness evident in 'Such A Long Way Home' to one of the best love songs ever ('Something Else Again'), the whole album is a tour de force. Anyone who is remotely interested in anything that Chris de Burgh has ever released should own this album!

Masterpiece,
By
This review is from: Crusader (Audio CD)
No doubt, Crusader is the ultimate masterpiece of the early De BURGH! Produced by orchestrator, arranger and piano player ANDREW POWELL (long-time sideman to ALAN PARSONS) and the entire ALAN PARSONS personnel (IAN BAIRNSON, DAVID PATON, STUART ELLIOTT) playing on this recording, completed by MIKE MORAN (kyb, p, synth) CRUSADER finally convinced, where the three previous albums failed. The compositions are again in the balladeer style, but the production and arrangements ultimately reach perfection. "Carry On" is probably the most commercial song on the album. I'm not sure if it was released as a single. "Something Else Again" is probably the loveliest love song a man could ever play for a woman! "Crusader" is a close-to-9-minutes piece, which reminds me of "Spanish Train" in a way, but is still different in its own way. A remastered version might be appropriate.

A Stunning Victory,
This review is from: Crusader (Audio CD)
This was the second Chris DeBurgh album that I listened to/owned. A friend in high school (early 80s) and I fell in love with DeBurgh's storytelling and passionate music, and between the two of us owned all of his recordings shortly after hearing our first DeBurgh song, Don't Pay the Ferryman.This album absolutely blew me away. I've noted in another review that I'm a fan of medieval history and fiction, and listening to this album was very much like reading one of Sharon Kay Penman's novels, in that it transported me back to a time when "carpet" could be found on walls instead of floors. As usual, there are beautiful ballads here; Something Else Again and Quiet Moments evoke strong romance. But the crown that sits atop this recording, and is the cause of the 5 stars, is the title song itself. Seven+ epic minutes of one of the finest stories I've ever heard put to music. True, the song tells the story of the Crusades, and we all know today that the Crusades (and Crusaders) truly had little honor, but this story/song tells it from the eyes of a Crusader, and does so beautifully. Every time I hear the musical interlude which is meant to represent the battle itself, I can feel and see the scene as if I were a participant. I've always thought it a shame that this song wasn't put to video, for if done correctly, would put even Michael Jackson's Thriller to shame.
