Saga - Saga

Very creative album.. the mix of prog rock, new wave and hard rock is very stylish. Every song here is a classic in it's own right. One of the best debuts ever and one of Sagas best records.

It's so bad, it's good . 1978 though!

I disagree, if's a very strong debut.
what do you mean by "1978 though"?

If it came out today it would be super weird. The opening track is pretty awkward to listen to, but I still appreciate that this was the 70's so stuff like this was a bit more normal back then.
I actually do think it's a good record, but try playing it to somebody that hasn't heard it before (and I have) and you might get some funny reactions

I understand your point but come on, think of the reaction you would get of playing other 70's stuff like Genesis, Jethro Tull or Gentle Giant to someone not familiar with the genre Afterall it's prog rock and it's supposed to be a bit weird and corky.
