Behavior

Not only did the album cover dissapoint me, so did the music. It is still a good ablum but
Saga can do so much better. The album has some very good tracks, Goodby, once upon a time-Promises and more but there are just some really weak points to it. Currently out of print I think. On another note the production was weak, but then I really liked Rupert Hine. Although only three stars its better than Wildest Dreams.
Remastered

Wildest Dreams

Ok, They went over to Atlantic Records and went a little pop. They also became a three piece band (vocalist Sadler, Guitarist Crichton, bassist Crichton) with Drummer Steve Negus and Keyboardist Jim Gilmour temporarily absent. The new addition was Synthax, a strange guitar like thing that is probably more interesting to play than listen to. The album has some good tracks. Dont Look Down is one of my favorites.

A Beginners Guide to Throwing Shapes.

Still just the three of them but what an improvement. This is quite a good album but it gets tired easily. Can't play it all the time. The sound is very DRY.
REMASTERED

Security of Illusion

The Band returns to a 5 peice and returns to form with this great rock album.. It has everything a Saga album should have. All the feeling and playing you could want. Mind over Matter, the second track, is just one example of what a good album this is.
Remastered with acoustic version of Title song

Steel Umbrellas

I don't know what happend. Great line up and really weak album. Probably my least favorite in the Saga discography. There are probably 3 cuts that do it for me NEVER ALONE, THIN ICE and I WALK WITH YOU.If you like saga, I would pass, if you love saga then you have to have it.
Remastered without WALKING ON THIN ICE
