Saracen - Change Of Heart (Full Album) 1984

[@wcnmvp3820]

Kansas meets Foreigner meets Angel Witch. A great mix of heavy metal, synthpop, and hard rock

[@shoot_the_glass5654]

For me this is kind of Rush meets Night Ranger.

[@itkojecockot]

to me this sounds like those later Rainbow albums(with Lynn Turner)

[@kabalofthebloodyspoon]

got some good taste, yo!

[@johnmannion7648]

you forgot Magnum haha

[@davidbolger2000AD]

To me, it's Queen meets ACCEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@unchattytwit]

Disappointing after the first classic album. This seems a smoother, cleaner more commercial production, 1980's style, however, not quite as bad as I remembered it. Tracks after first two get better- but it's still pretty standard to be honest. Just disappointing that Saracen didn't continue in the vein of Heroes, Saints and Fools with a harder, vital edge. Then again I don't feel Maiden ever improved on their first epic album IMHO.

[@thesithempire1348]

Not even with Killers? To me, those first two albums could have been a double-album. They're musically/thematically very close.

[@irishcountryman4866]

Maidens first 7 albums are unbeatable.

[@Anderson_Araujo666]

@@irishcountryman4866 Maiden is the best Metal band ever! A Matter Of Life and Death and Senjutsu are also great!

[@irishcountryman4866]

@@Anderson_Araujo666 Yes, great albums. I also really like The final frontier

Although John was not credited on the album, he did actually play in the studio. Thank you for taking the time to research. Squib (John Thorne's roadie)

[@thesithempire1348]

The songs are good. The problem is the f***ing producer who took all the edge and power out of the instruments to make them sound like the typical, trendy pop-hard rock band--but this issue was going on through the mid-to-late 1980s with rock bands being emasculated by producers and mixers who tried to make them sound radio-friendly. I know there's probably no resources to do this, but this album DESPERATELY needs to be re-mixed (and given a new cover), which would make it sound much more like their debut.

[@scottoz7891]

AGREED

[@ezioauditore7427]

I thought after great debut it's gonna be a letdown but what a beautiful album! Favorite tracks: Bridge Of Tears, Seabird, Jekyll & Hyde and Hot Love.

[@KB-P]

Propably the greatest AOR-ish N.W.O.B.H.M. album...Is it bad, that i like it more than their debut album?! :):)

[@itkojecockot]

you like it cause it's catchier, but the debut is a cult classic at this point

Sounds like a HEAVIER version of STYX.

[@steely666]

1st song is the best. I heard this song back in 1986 on powertrax tape album

[@mercadodaubeterre]

WAAOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE UNDERRATED BANDS!!!!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WANT YOU'RE MISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@serpentsermon78]

Great album!!!

[@undisputedattitude2902]

Melodic Hard Rock/Heavy Rock + Progressive Rock, but NOT Heavy Metal, therefore it is NOT NWOBHM.

[@andygretz]

Saw these in 1982 Grosvenor Rooms Chesterfield bought my first pint ever to this music so it means alot although I did move away and move away from heavy rock.

[@steely666]

1st track is my fav, rest is decent enough.

[@psyrax646]

not forgetting Magnum!..one of the best British bands never to make it big..

Is it me but they remind me of a heavier Kansas huh rite but their good band . in digging this

[@sinbysin666]

Yes. Except Kansas is kinda heavier.

[@fernandopenalva2680]

Nwobhm with aor. It sounds like Journey, Foreigner, Boston, Reo Speedwagon going heavy metal.

[@undisputedattitude2902]

@@fernandopenalva2680 hahaha no, This is Progressive Rock, maybe Proto Prog. Metal, but not NWOBHM. You do not have to believe everything you read on the Internet, less if it comes from Metallum.

Exactly

Sound like Magnum, Vandenberg and Foreigner.

Vocalist did sing in Foreigner if im not mistaken. He also sounds like lead singer from Kansas, Steve Walsh
