SAGA – Behaviour (1985) [Remastered reissue 2021] HQ
Over 40 years have passed since the Canadian melodic prog-rock band SAGA released their self-titled debut album. Since then, they have been an exceptional musical phenomenon and toured the globe various times — all the while selling over 10 million albums worldwide.
Their sonic trademarks – synthesizer harmonies, keyboard-guitar riffs, melodic arrangements, and the charismatic vocals of frontman Michael Sadler – have made Saga an influential rock act of the modern era.
In 2021, earMUSIC is celebrating the band’s four-decade legacy launching a reissue series exquisitely remastered and these “must own” releases will be welcome additions to the musical libraries of the Saga faithful.
“Behaviour” sees SAGA definitely embracing the mainstream sound of the year of its release – 1985 – and what we have here is one of the Canadians most commercial-sounding albums however not less meaty in songwriting. This is plenty of AOR synths, rock&pop melodies, and radio-friendly choruses.
