Nah, I saw you mention them in the sharing thread though and I was going to ask for some too but thought I'd better wait til my plate is a little less full.

Is Be their best/only album?

I think they have multiple albums...but my friend was telling me about one of the concepts in that album and it was like about how if god was one of us who lived on earth he would be just as confused as we were...something along thopse lines and it kind of intrigued me......so i thought id check it out.....no torrents for it either

So if anyone has any albums of Savatage I would be interested. I have three songs floating about "Conversation Piece", "Chance" and "Turns To Me".

"Conversation Piece" - is a good song. Rather funny in a way, when he sings "...Over a cup of Tea", the way it relates to the song title. Good instrumentation.
"Turns To Me" - is a brilliant track too. It's soft and hard, alternating between the two rather well. The guitaring is awesome and thankfully not overdone.
"Chance" - starts out in a rather orchastreal/symphonic(?) manner with chimes and what-not, then rolls into some good metal. This is pretty sweet prog metal. The vocals are clear and solid when singing low key, and manly when the music asks them to be.

I love this band. So why the hell have I only got 3 songs then... *Goes to download*

Albums people

Oh and LesPaul, if you don't already, I would say you'll love these guys.

OK cool......ill go download some right now..any ones in particular you are fond of?

Laces Out Dan! · 03-04-2006, 12:26 PM

Well i just checked them out.....They're decent i guess...maybe they have to grow on me.its kind of boring to me....but i still really wanna hear that "Be" album

Merkaba · 03-04-2006, 06:20 PM

Yeah I dunno eather I downloaded a couple more songs and it started to get a bit too much for me. But I still wouldn't mind an album. I just thought you'd like them since they're similar to Symphony X in many ways.

Laces Out Dan! · 03-04-2006, 09:48 PM

Yeah i see where youd be coming from....the majority of my friends that listen to music similar to me like them a lot
