na podium
na mojej są (bedą) inne bonusyobowiązkowo z bonusami (Shotgun Innocence i Forever After).
pełna zgodaTu chyba najlepiej słychać, jakim talentem był Oliva Młodszy....Te solówki, riffy,...No i młody Stevens, nigdy więcej tak nie zaśpiewał jak na tej płycie, z lekkością, feelingiem, brawurą nawet. Dziś jego wokal, choć zawodowo brzmi, jest pozbawiony tej iskry, jakiś zmatowiały się wydaje.
Zawsze mam problem z takimi praktykami. akurat np w przypadku wymienionego tu Megadeth to demówki z CTE moim zdaniem brzmią lepiej niż album który jest za bardzo wypolerowany w przeciwieństwie do demówek na których słychać większy ciężar i chropowatość 
W przypadku EoT, w wersji digi, jest duuuży plus. 
Wkładka z obszerną książeczką, gdzie jest cała historia tej płyty, szczegółowo opisana przez twórców i ludzi z otoczenia. Tylko trzeba mieć lupę do czytania... dla każdego coś dobrego 
Znakomity album, mam wersję megawypas z bonusami, ale samo gęste. Jon Oliva miał wtedy ponoć kłopoty z gardłem bo i kryzys natury ogólnej, a napierdala tu wokalnie jak prawdziwy maniak z siekierą w łapie... The Chair chyba najlepszy w zestawie. Szkoda, że nie ma kontynuacji, chociaż materiał ponoć już dawno nagrany... nom
już wtedy się poznali a płyta w pytę, że się tak poetycko wyrażę.
gdzieś czytałem że to żona Crissa
Warto! Każda fajna, ale i trochę inna w klimacie. Jeśli lubisz Savatage, to w zasadzie nie ma opcji, żeby ci nie podeszło. Na każdej są riffy i pomysły Crissa, bo przypadkiem (przypadek? nie sądzę) żona Jona znalazła na strychu pudełko z kasetami, gdzie były nagrane demówki i inne smaczki, które Criss nagrywał sobie w zaciszu własnego pokoju i nigdy ich nie wykorzystał...Dla mnie najlepsza jest "zielona" trójka - tam najwięcej się dzieje. Czasem kosztem spójności, ale takie Firefly, z prawie Floydowych vibe robi mi najlepiej. Maniacal Renderings jest najbardzuej zbliżona do Savatage, więc tę ci polecam na początek.

tzn bede miał jak dojdzie 
In a new interview with Sakis Fragos of Greece's Rock Hard, SAVATAGE leader Jon Oliva confirmed that he is working on new music from the cult metal outfit. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "This [next] SAVATAGE record is going to fuck people up. It's that good.
"I've made these mistakes before. I'm not making these mistakes now. I'm not rushing it," he explained. "I figure, well, I wanna get it out by next April so that I can come over with everybody. We all wanna come and do the festivals next summer. And I'm, like, I'm not rushing this. No fucking way. 'Cause this will probably be the last album we ever do. And I'm gonna make sure that it's a 10 out of a 10."
According to Oliva, there are plenty of ideas to choose from for SAVATAGE's upcoming LP. "I have enough material right now for three albums," he said. "And what I'm going to do is I'm going to condense it down. I'm gonna try to condense it down to one album with three bonus tracks. I'm gonna record everything when I get the guys down here. So we're gonna record all the shit that we've got. And in case I wanna do another album, I'll have it all ready to go. That's the gameplan."
Regarding the musical direction of the new SAVATAGE material, Jon said: "Some of this shit is really strong. I'm even looking at myself going, 'Holy shit. This is really strong.' And the fact that you're gonna have me and [SAVATAGE singer] Zak [Stevens] sharing the vocals and doing songs together in like a duet thing, is even more… it blows me away. I purposely wrote five or six songs specifically for Zak to sing. And then I worked [on] a lot of songs with Al Pitrelli [guitar] that are definitely, 'These are Oliva songs.' And then we have a couple of big epic songs.
"This is gonna be the best album I ever made," Oliva promised. "Unless I kill myself. All I know is that the SAVA fans are gonna be fucking blown away when they hear this. They're gonna be blown away. I wasn't gonna do the SAVATAGE thing and just do a half-assed album. If I'm doing this album, it's gonna be the best album I've ever done. 'Cause when I go out, I wanna go out on top."
Jon went on to say that a new SAVATAGE song called "For The Man Who Would Be King" is one that he sometimes refers to as "the new 'Morphine Child'," a nod to the track on SAVATAGE's 2001 album "Poets And Madmen". "And that's one that me and Zak are gonna do together," he explained. "And then it's got this big middle section that's all these QUEEN, operatic[-style vocals]. I'm, like, 'Wow, this is gonna be epic.'"
Regarding which other musicians will be involved in the recording process for the new SAVATAGE album, Jon said: "I'm gonna have [former SAVATAGE drummer Steve] Wacholz come in and play on a couple of songs. But Jeff Plate [drums], Johnny [Lee Middleton, bass], Al Pitrelli [guitar], Chris Caffery [guitar], Zak, me, and on a couple of things I'm gonna have Jane Mangini [TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA keyboardist] come in and play. And maybe the Ukrainian guy Vitalij Kuprij… 'Cause I have a couple of things that are beyond my capabilities of playing, and I figured instead of me spending a month trying to play this, I'll have one of these guys… My keyboard players with TSO, they're some of the best in the world — by far. So I'm, like, 'Oliva, are you stupid? Why you are gonna sit there and try to…? You can't do it. With four arms you couldn't do it.'"
He continued: "I'm getting everybody involved from the beginning. I want it to be a full-band album, all of us working together. And it's gonna be great."
Asked about a possible title for the new SAVATAGE album, Jon said: "The working title is 'Curtain Call', but I don't know if that's gonna be it. 'Cause the very last song that's gonna be on the album is this song called 'Curtain Call', and it's just me with a piano, and it's very deep. It's basically me singing to the fans, telling them all goodbye and thank you. Every time I hear it, I cry. Everybody I played it for cries. It's just very deep. But it's my way of saying goodbye to everybody. 'Thank you. I love you all. And this is my final goodbye. Thank you. Have a good life. And do whatever.' So I think I'm gonna call it 'Curtain Call', but it's not in stone yet."
As for a timeline for the recording sessions for the new SAVATAGE LP, Oliva said: "We're gonna work on it and record it starting in June, and we're gonna work on it until we have to go to Omaha for TSO rehearsals. And then after the TSO tour, in January we're gonna come back and finish it up in January and February. And I wanna put it out on Criss's [Oliva, late SAVATAGE guitarist and Jon's brother] birthday [in April] next year."
Jon also talked about SAVATAGE's touring plans, saying: "We have a lot of offers to come over and do festivals. And I'm, like, all right, man, look… I'm not 25 anymore. If we're gonna do this, I wanna do Wacken [Open Air in Germany] — I wanna do them all. And that's it. And be done with it. It's my way of saying goodbye to everybody. Giving the fans a goodbye from me and the guys to them. 'Hey, we love you.'
"I've loved our fans forever," he added. "They've provided me with a living. And I'm not gonna let them down. I'm gonna come out and I'm gonna be out there next summer doing the festivals and we're gonna kick ass."
