"Fight For The Rock (édition 2011)" est une réédition remastérisée en CD de l?album emblématique sorti par Savatage en 1986 et proposée par le label allemand Edel:Records. Cette version offre un son amélioré ainsi que du matériel bonus inédit pour ravir aussi bien les fidèles de la première heure que les nouveaux auditeurs curieux de découvrir ce classique du métal mélodique et progressif américain avec des titres phares comme « Out on the Streets », « Cry for Love » ou encore la puissante chanson-titre « Fight For The Rock ». Fondé en Floride en 1979 par les frères Jon et Criss Oliva, le groupe Savatage s?est imposé comme pionnier du metal progressif grâce à ses albums-concepts ambitieux tels que « Hall of the Mountain King » ou « Streets : A Rock Opera », influençant durablement la scène internationale notamment via leur projet parallèle Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Le fabricant Edel:Records jouit d?une solide réputation dans l?industrie musicale européenne pour ses productions soignées couvrant tous styles et soutient autant les légendes établies que les talents émergents.
Jon and Criss Oliva in action - this was a first album with a new bass player Johnny Lee Middleton - great album - Highly recommend

If I do not throw off a particularly good sound, I liked Crying for Lov (with a magnificent violin intro and generally a prog-rock arrangement) and a cover on Badfinger (although it sounds, obviously getting out of all the heavy sounding of the album, but what are the guitar parts on it !).
Very noticeably sounds The Edge of Midnight with a harpsichord-organ introduction, a memorable part of the keyboard. And if you take into account the following Hyde, then on the album you can safely create a label "prog-metal".

I really don't have much else to say about this album. The music isn't bad for the most part, it's just uninspired. It simply does not have the power and hard edge that the previous albums did, despite of some guitar addiction by C. Oliva. It does not flow as the truly great Savatage albums do. In the end this record would prove to be a bit of a lost cause for Savatage, as it tended to turn original fans away and was mostly panned by critics. It sounds incredible to heard that only the year after they went back on the right way with the masterpiece "Hall Of The Mountain King".

estas remasterizaciones de Savatage nos permite re-escuchar con un sonido más cuidado y ecualizado las primeras producciones del combo americano, dado que sus producciones posteriores a 1990 ya tenían una buena producción. En este caso se incluyen bonus de canciones en directo o rarezas y maquetas encontradas, y se presenta en digipack.
