A great & worthy follow-up to the excellent Hall of the Mountain King. This would be Savatage’s final album before they got too smart and serious for their own good (in my opinion) starting with 1991′s Streets: A Rock Opera.

Supposedly, “Thorazine Shuffle” was a “bonus” track for cassette and CD pressings of this album.

Highlights: “Of Rage and War”, “Gutter Ballet”, “When the Crowds Are Gone”, “She’s in Love”, “Hounds”, “Summer’s Rain”
