Description:Unlike â??Dead Winter Deadâ?, which was written primarily on piano, Savatageâ??s third concept album â??The Wake of Magellanâ?, originally released in 1997, is undeniably a guitar-oriented record. Oliva credited that to Chris Caffery and Al Pitrelli contributing several riffs, but Oâ??Neill believed it also stemmed from having a more stable line-up. â??The Wake Of Magellan was our third concept album and the second with the new line up. For all of us, it was an enjoyable album to makeâ?, said Jon Oliva. â??I was very, very happy with Magellanâ?, added Paul Oâ??Neill. â??One of the things I always thought gave Savatage an advantage is that on first listen, a lot of songs come across as great music thatâ??s enjoyable to listen to, but the more you look, the deeper it becomes. With Magellan, like the ocean itself, thereâ??s so many little things hidden in there. I wanted it to be like a movie you enjoy the first time, but you enjoy it even more the second, third, fourth or even the 20th time.â? The LP reissue edition is becoming available as 180g Double 12â? Black Vinyl LP, along with a Limited Collectorâ??s Edition on Heavyweight Transparent Orange Double Vinyl. Both editions are mastered for vinyl, reissued with the original cover design, specially enhanced artwork, including a 12-pages LP booklet with extensive liner notes by Clay Marshall and carry an exclusive, previously unreleased live bonus-track. Exclusive to the Limited Collectorâ??s Edition is a Lenticular Cover Card. -

An excellent digipack edition of the album released in 1997 by American progressive power metal band. Well sounded and with nice booklet, at low price. The only minus is in the fact that their best albums were released in 80es.

Savatage reached their peak in the second half of the 80's and beggining of the 90's with Hall of the Mountain King, Gutter Ballet and Streets albums. For a good amount of time band coped with the untimely passing of Chris Oliva, but it seems they've found the formula on this particular album. Great proggy and theatrical feel is all over the place, with Zakk Stevens and Jon Oliva trading vocal duties. Recommended!

One of the most wonderful work of the group. The concept album is the story of a descendant of a famous navigator (unfortunately, I can’t say for sure, this is a real person or a fictional one), a story about his dreams, worries, thoughts about how his life would have been if he were a navigator. The music perfectly illustrates the narration throughout its length, with a slight but light shade of sadness, as is usually the case with Savatage. However, the melodies are self-sufficient and without texts - the instrumental "Storm", in my opinion, is generally one of the most illustrative compositions in metal - even if you don’t know its name, the picture with the raging sea will pop up in your mind. In some places, the general social theme ("Complaint in the system") skips. For a band with a 20-year-old past, the work is amazing - very few people manage to stay in self-plagiarism in such a time.

Este es el primer álbum de la serie de nuevas ediciones de la discografía de la banda. No se establece claramente si fue remasterizado, pero el sonido y la producción es impecable. Todos los elementos que hacen especial a la banda están presentes, al igual que en el álbum anterior Dead Winter Dead. Es el último álbum que cuenta con Zak Stevens en la voz. Un gran álbum!
