CD Reviews

What is everyone complaining about??

"this CD kicks from start to finish. all i can suggest to the naysayers is give this disc another chance. to saxon fans: do NOT believe 'one listen' reviews! this a terribly underrated release that deserves more credit and recognition.



i bought this CD upon first release and thought it was 'just OK'. i shelved it for 2+ years then popped it in again after listening to Killing Ground. to this day i can't understand why i thought this CD was mediocre! you must give this Saxon release at least 2-3 listens; to get accustomed to its sound.



i really enjoy this 1999 underrated gem and think you will too."

"This time around reduced to two original members,Saxon have managed to truly recapture the magic of their early albums.Rawness and their traditional grooves,some electronic treatments,all lent a helping hand to this excellent new album."
Rockin' again!

"I have been a fan since the mid '80s; looking forward to seeing them live again. Finally got to see them the first time in '98 & they just STOMPED!! Had waited to see them & Priest my whole life & saw Priest 3 months prior to Saxon; the band played well, but Ripper ain't Halford & Saxon just STOMPED!! I don't like this album as well as many of their others. I must admit that like a previous reviewer, I really couldn't find anything that really got to me on the first listen expect "Sea of Light" which is classic Saxon. It is strong sounding & well produced, but I like several of their others much better, particularly "Crusader". But they still have a lot of juice in them & you've gotta admire their persistence. The world can't ignore a band this good forever. Keep the faith & continue to tell other metalheads about Saxon. I'm always surprised at how many metal fans have never even heard them! But as always, once they do they're hooked & want to hear more. "We'll be rockin' together, rockin' again!""
