5.0 out of 5 stars Solid 5 stars, May 10, 2006

By	SK "seven keys" (Waldwick, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

Being introduced to Saga's music only recently, I am puzzled over why the band hasn't received the proper attention it really deserves. At the same time most of us do know what kind of music is being played on MTV and premier radion stations, so what else should I expect?

Images at Twilight, the second album by this talented band is full of magnificent progressive rock songs.

The combination of strong songwriting, amazing musicanship, crafty guitars, massive yet smart use of keyboards (one of the trademarks of the band) and superb vocals really puts this band on another planet. Add all that to the unforgetable melodies that stay in one's head for hours and you really got the winning formula - the band really shines on this record.

I like all the songs, there isn't a single weak one here. But the real standouts for me are Images, Hot to Cold and Mouse in a Maze.

The following year after that the band released another excellent record that would even top the Images. That was truly the best era for Saga, perhaps the most underrated band of the most underrated genre. Thanks for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant second release from Canada's best prog band!!, January 25, 2003

By A Customer

This album is fantastic with a great album opener "It's Time"!! Ian Crichton's guitar work always amazes me, excellent stuff. Check out the guitar solo in "You're Not Alone" and the most underrated track in my opinion has got to be "Hot to Cold", which has a really awesome vocal interplay between Michael Sadler & Jim Crichton(?). Overall a great album, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Rock from the MOST UNDERRATED Band, September 22, 2002

By	Ken Tamayo "Kenneth Tamayo" (San Juan, PR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Saga, the most underrated rock band on the face of the earth, released this fantastic and captivating album in 1980 - and it's yet to sound dated. Their flawless musicianship, virtuosity, solid concept and remarkable taste still deliver the goods more than 20 years later. No serious Rock music collector or Rock musician should miss this album - or any of the other SAGA releases of this period (finally available in glorious Re-Master versions): the ground-breaking self-title debut SAGA, the superb and stylish SILENT KNIGHT and their delicious WORLDS APART. If you are a RUSH, ASIA, YES, PINK FLOYD, TRANSATLANTIC or SPOCK'S BEARD fan and you have not heard SAGA, you are seriously missing out!
