STREETS - A ROCK OPERA

5 stars for the album due to the outstanding music, lyrics and concept. personally, Savatage can always convey a sense of honesty and originality in their works and this album come on top. When I 1st listened to I was 18 and the lyrics back then was really inspiring.. Jon's vocal qualities in indeed unique and very special.. and I think unfortunately he reached his highest level of maturity by this album which happened to be his last for a period of 8 years.. Chris's performance on guitar is ultimately brilliant and genuine... from heavy riffs to speedy & gentle solos.. Ghost In The Ruins solo is indeed one of the best ever written and performed with a notable baseline and extraordinary multi-seasonal modes... i really cannot name my favorite songs of this album... and that's what makes it a leading concept album...
