Hit: 4 Stars
Originally released in 1989, Gutter Ballet marks a real turning point for Savatage. Their previous album Hall Of The Mountain King was a triumphant return to form, but Gutter Ballet was the beginning of something new and exciting from the Florida-based heavy metal band.
This is the album where producer extraordinaire Paul O'Neill's influence would truly be felt. While Gutter Ballet still retained the power metal sound Savatage was known for (and after the disastrous Fight for Rock, you know they weren't giving that up again), the band was developing a grander, almost theatrical style, incorporating progressive elements, powerful instrumentals and finally making use of Jon Oliva's monster keyboard talents.
The best example of this new direction is right after the album opener. The three song block of "Gutter Ballet," "Temptation Revelation" and "When the Crowds Are Gone" shows exactly what the more mature Savatage is capable of. The album isn't perfect. Songs like "She's In Love" and "Mentally Yours" are not of the same quality as the rest, but overall Gutter Ballet is truly exceptional, and is rightly viewed as a classic metal album.
The best part is that as good as Gutter Ballet is, the band's next album is even better. So is the one after that. And the one after that. They just keep getting better, which is why Savatage has left such an impressive legacy.
Edition Notes: Gutter Ballet has not been remastered, but the 2002 SPV reissue does have a few extras that might make you consider replacing your older version. It features 2 additional tracks - live versions of "Hounds" and "When the Crowds Are Gone," but the real bonus is that the liner notes have been expanded to include several pages of very detailed information about the band during this particular stage of their career. When added to the chapters from the other SPV Savatage reissues, you'll get the real story behind one of the best (and most underrated) metal bands of all time.
