4.0 out of 5 stars
Refreshed recognition,

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide To Throwing Shapes (Audio CD)
From the first time I ever heard Saga's "Humble Stance", in 1976 or 1977, I was amazed by the particular sound they had and still have. And until this day I don't think that there is a band with such a sound, although there are a few bands that do have similar aspects in their way of making music. Saga's lead singer, Michael Sadler is one of the distinguishing parts in the whole, not to mention certain synth sounds and the use of so many different synths through their albums. This album, with it's peculiar title, is showing us a refreshed recognition of all those ingredients, layered over beautiful compositions which are nicely produced. The overall sound quality was not bad at all on the first pressing of this CD, but this new edition really is the better one. Some extra's on the disc are nice to have but the essence of Saga's music and the recognizable musical quality - and the pleasure that the makers state to the listeners - is what counts. Refreshed, that is.

Has some good songs on it,

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide To Throwing Shapes (Audio CD)
This is not Saga's best or worst cd. It does have some worthy songs on it, however. The best songs on it are How Do I look, Odd Man Out, Giant, Sarting all over, Shape, and Scarecrow. This version definitely has better sound on it then previous version( It's remastered). The bonus track is Framed live which is the same version as is on Detours live cd.It has the best remastering job done on it of the 4 remasters I have so far gotten. It's not a great cd but does have some worthy songs on it.

Saga as a trio,

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide To Throwing Shapes (Audio CD)
This album is not their best, but not bad either. People say this is their return to their early progressive roots... I say that's about 50% right. I think it is a good transition from their previous album (Wildest Dreams, their most commercial album and not one of my favorites) to the next album (The security of Illusion, one of my personal favorites, and a good combination of their progressive roots with their new found modern style).
It's a great attempt, but the band is never the same without drummer Steve Negus and keyboardist/vocalist/clarinet player Jim Gilmour.
