Nearly three decades after they started, Saga have derived very little from their main mission of being one of Canada's eminent prog rock bands. Unfortunately, while their sound and quality of production have changed and evolved with technology, their songwriting style and dynamics really haven't. That's not to say Network isn't a strong effort; on the contrary, it's their most focused and polished work in years. However, as is the case with many of their recent releases, this won't necessarily win over any new fans, and is likely to appease only their already loyal fan base. ~ Rob Theakston

Saga: Jim Gilmour (vocals, keyboards); Michael Sadler (vocals); Ian Crichton (guitar); Jim Crichton (bass guitar); Christian Simpson (drums).

Saga Security Of Illusion CD  (1993)

Network
CD $10.89  4.6 stars Audio Samples
Released in 1993, THE SECURITY OF ILLUSION signaled a rebirth of sorts for Canadian prog rock popsters Saga, as earlier members Jim Gilmour (keyboards) and Steve Negus (drums) were welcomed back into the fold -- for the first time since 1985's BEHAVIOUR. And as evidenced by the music, the result of the reunion returned the group straight back to their heady early-'80s period, especially on the downright vicious rockers "Mind ...

Saga Marathon CD  (2003)

Network
CD $14.29  3.3 stars Audio Samples
Like 1999's Full Circle, Marathon offers little more than recycled rock clichés and unfulfilling musical hooks. While 25 years into their existence Saga still had a following, they had become an obvious caricature of themselves -- an unintended Spinal Tap. But unlike on Full Circle, there appears to be a discernible degree of intensity and passion in these songs. Amid the predictable sounds and techniques utilized here, one song, "You Know I Know (Chapter 12)," incorporates a clever instrumental passage, although it's not nearly enough to elevate this album from its overriding murk and mire. ~ Dave Sleger 2003 album for the Canadian hard rock outfit finds them continuing with the sound of two of their most successful albums, 'Full Circle' (1999) & 'House Of Cards' (2001). ...

Saga Chapters Live CDs  (2005)

Network
CD $15.35  4 stars Audio Samples
The Chapters Live was 28 years in the making. Flash back to 1978: a young Canadian band releases its debut LP, an attempt at bridging the gap between progressive rock and FM radio. Two tracks, "Will It Be You?" and "Tired World," are subtitled Chapters 4 and 6 for no apparent reason. Over the next three LPs, Saga will release a total of eight "chapters," seemingly at random, then drop the project, originally sketched for 16 pieces. In the early 2000s, as the group is getting back on track (literally and figuratively), eight new chapters pop up, spread across three albums. On the Marathon tour in 2003, the group performed the complete "Chapters" sequence, in its right order, a moment fans of Saga had been awaiting for a long time. The sci-fi story revolves around Albert Einstein, revived by aliens so that he can help them save humanity from self-destruction. Some of its constituents are well-known ("No Regrets," "Don't Be Late"); others are more obscure. The surprise factor in The Chapters Live is the actual continuity from beginning to end. This truly sounds like a single album written in a short amount of time -- surely not in 28 years, with dozens of studio albums laid down in the process. The fresher pieces sit down marvelously well with the earlier material. Capturing the material live also levels down asperities created by shifts in technology and production values between 1978 and 2003. The result makes a very strong proposition, definitely one of Saga's best albums (only Generation 13 -- which, incidentally, contained no chapters -- features similar levels of cohesion ...

Saga Trust CD  (2006) With DVD; Special Edition

Network
CD $16.29  4.4 stars
With a career spanning 30 years, Saga remain something of a torchbearer for the old-school progressive rock scene, a scene that they left at least partially behind for a while but rejoined with renewed vigor and with some tricks learned in the melodic rock trenches. They're not going to win any new converts with Trust; those who shy away from Michael Sadler's bombastic vibrato will still do so when he launches into "That's as Far as I'll Go," and those who find the band's more extravagant flights of musical fancy overly precious won't be won over by "Back to the Shadows" (with its synthesized horn fanfares) or the somewhat overly earnest "My Friend," either. And no one should be willing to put up with the bad Peter Gabriel impersonation that is "Time to Play," a song that is not only embarrassingly derivative but also unforgivably snarky in its putdowns of others' music. However, fans will be sure to enjoy the nice counterpoint between frenetic guitar and keyboard lines and the slower, more languid sung vocals and chord progression on "I'm OK" and the bracing "Ice in the Rain." Lyrics are a problem from time to time (couplets about going back to school and learning the rules are not normally ...

Saga 10,000 Days CD  (2007)

Network
CD $15.35  4.2 stars Audio Samples
Although they'll forever be best known Stateside for one of the most action-packed videos to ever grace the MTV airwaves -- the jailbreak-themed "On the Loose" -- Canada's prog-popsters Saga have carved a pretty comfortable niche for themselves in other parts of the world, where their albums continued to sell steadily over the years. And their last album to feature longtime singer, Michael Sadler, 2007's 10,000 Days (not to be confused with the Tool album of the same time), shows that the group was still able to offer albums on par with their best work right up until the end. While it features a more modern production, the songwriting and much of the instrumentation is straight out of 1982 (in fact, in many cases, 10,000 Days could have easily been issued as the follow-up to their 1981 hit album, Worlds Apart). Sadler is in fine voice throughout (which makes his exit from the band a bit puzzling -- it isn't like he is having a hard time hitting the high notes), while the ...
