The Best from Jon Oliva since Streets!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Maniacal Renderings (Audio CD)
This is the first album I have really gotten into in a long time. Dr. Butcher and Tag Mahal had some great songs but this album is more solid and sounds more like vintage Savatage. This is partly due to the fact that some of the songs are based on riffs that Criss Oliva came up with before leaving this world. The two guitarists, Laporte and French, do a good job of balancing technique with melody. They also incorporate some characteristics of Criss' playing (octave lines and very fluid legato). There are a few songs that would have fit on Gutter Ballet or Streets like "The Evil Beside You" or "The Answer" and a few that rock as hard as anything from Power of The Night or Hall of the Mountain King. Check out "Through The Eyes Of The King"! Jon's voice sounds better than ever. There is even a fast rocker called "Push It To The Limit" which is a sibling of White Witch and Washed Out. I can hear a Beatle's influence on some of the lighter tracks. As Jon says in the liner notes, John Lennon was his biggest influence. All in all a strong album from Jon and his friends at the asylum. I give it 4.5 stars!!!!

Only Cd that has captured my attention in quite a while,
By Jorge Jaramillo (Medellin, Colombia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maniacal Renderings (Audio CD)
As I've grown up I have found more and more difficulties in liking new releases from both, new bands and bands I used to love. Maniacal Renderings is the only cd I've liked almost immediately after hearing it for the first time, in quite a while. Is heavy as it should be and also melodic. Jon is the most talented musician that ever existed and fortunately he is still making great music

The Mountain King Rocks,

This review is from: Maniacal Renderings (Audio CD)
Jon Oliva's Pain rocks every bit as hard as old Savatage ever did, and is the next best thing to a new savatage album that you can buy. If you like Savatage buy this album!!!!!!!!!!
