Savatage
Streets (Narrated version)
Rating
Style: Heavy Metal
Release date: 27 September, 2013
Playing time: 80:40
 

What many, my self included, consider to be Savatage's opus magnum: "Streets - A Rock Opera" has just become even more complete. Paul O'Neill and Jon Oliva have enhanced their already most complete and exciting album with small narrated pieces tying the story even tighter and better together. This is according to them the way it was meant to be.

"Streets" is a heavy metal classic, and each and every serious metal fan should have the original already, but this new version adds a dimension to the whole picture that justifies a purchase. I won't spend time typing things that has already been said a million times about this magnificent album, so do yourselves a favor and get this masterpiece (again)...

The release also includes a DVD: "The video collection", which is pretty much self explainable as well as a few rare audio tracks.

Value for your money!
