GUTTER BALLET

I have, always seen this recording praised by so many people ,but the only people who love it are the ones who dislike their earlier material.Mainly those who have a hate for Heavy Metal ,this is not even Prog Metal either,i dont know what it is. All i remember is when i brought it, it did nothing for me,totally boring,a band now trying to get into areas where only fools would tread .Savatage should have stuck to what they were best at playing full on power metal and sure doing progressive and interesting ideas with there brand of metal but always staying true to there original style.The tital track is weak poorly constructed ,the instrumentals are rudimentary ,just like the rest of the tracks.The album cover artwork basically Sucks,that sinnister look of child with dagger on Sirens cover is fantastic.This album is very well crafted in recording and really is very slick, in all production elements,it trys to hard to please some sort of audience and delivers nothing , its really just an empty vessel.
