5.0 out of 5 stars Saga revisited, December 24, 2001
By Thomas E. Robbins (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
I first heard Saga when my brother bought "Worlds Apart" What a great one. Then I bought "Heads or Tails" on tape and listened to it until I wore the tape out. I had been in a retro mood lately and was looking for sounds that recaptured some of the excitement that music had once upon a time (I am 36 now, was 17 then!). I snatched up "House of Cards" when I found a single copy at Best Buy. What a great CD! I went back out and bought a copy for my brother. These guys have matured a bit musically and still know how to mix synthesizer and guitar like no one else! A great mix of hard driving and haunting sounds. Buy this SAGA fans, I promise you will love it! Like most complex music, you might need to give it a few listens before your brain comprehends just how good this CD is. And like the first CD I heard, some songs seem to be written for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars SAGA DOES IT ONE MORE TIME: EXCELLENT!, September 15, 2002
With this album SAGA goes back to its musical roots, the "chapters"and the Sci Fi covers. IF you have the first five classic albums and the last recording "Full Circle" YOU WILL LOVE THIS ONE ! Best tracks are : Ashes to Ashes, Once in a lifetime, God Knows and the already classic :The Runaway.
A MUST FOR ALL PROGRESSIVE ROCK FANS!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all digital insanity :), August 6, 2002
By B. N. West (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is Saga's strongest release since their _Worlds Apart_ and _Head or Tails_ days. This is not their best work, but _Hose of Cards_ is in the ball park. _HoC_ builds nicely on their previous, very solid release, _Full Circle_, which I can also recommend.

I must admit that Saga's return to form is a bit surprise, albeit a very pleasant surprise. While their contemporaries struggle to find the magic that brought them their successes, Saga has indeed recapture their magic with _HoC_.

All Saga fans should enjoy _HoC_.

Possibly the best Saga album of the post Worlds Apart years - an inspired, consistent piece of work, elevating them to the status of prog masters. Read more

I am indeed a Saga fan, but this album is very poor. I could only find 2 songs I liked ("That's how we like it" and "We'll meet again"). Read more
