Never realized "Wind Him Up" was about gambling? Shows how closely I pay attention to the lyrics.

Great tune. Better than "OTL" imo.

Agreed....and if the musicianship weren't top-notch I'd think 'On the Loose' was Loverboy....and growing up....I actually did! :lol:

I used to play that song in an 80's cover band years ago. Very cool song for a keyboardist! :wink:

Michael Sadler's voice has REALLY held up over the years, too. And his final album with the band ( 10,000 Days) is killer. Trust is right behind it, whereas the albums behind it are patchy (well, Marathon is a pile of doodoo). Saga's 1999 album Full Circle got me interested agan, as I'd given up on them a couple years earlier.

Fave album, of course: Silent Knight (1980). It's the one right before Worlds Apart.

For me, House of Cards is the best latter album....

I hear a lot of people say that, but I think it's because it has the best cover art of the last few albums. 'Sides, they dusted off their Moog for the last three, and Brian Doerner's the best drummer they've had along with Negus.
