Album Notes & Community Reviews

Canadian progressive rock band Saga's 'House of Cards' returns to the tightly arranged, keyboard led sound of their early albums, with Michael Sadler's vocals over Ian Crichton's staccato guitar and layered synthesizers. Shorter, song focused structures replace extended suites, reconnecting the band with the melodic approach of 'Worlds Apart'.
