Chris Caffery CDs- MAJOR Disappointment!!

[savabich2]

I don't know what to say about this, I ordered Faces and Warped a few weeks ago and have been listening to them steadily for about a week or so.

I was really expecting that someone who played a part in the evolution of Savatage and the birth of TSO would present something along those same lines- something wonderful, majestic and beautiful.

Instead, I was met with a barrage of bitterness, rage and anger.

The vocals are like getting hit in the head with a hammer, just screaming and ugliness and the guitar solos are furious- but without any of the sweetness that Al Pitrelli displays in TSO.

From listening to this, it's hard to believe Chris had anything to do with the last 3 Savatage CDs or TSO.

I just can't understand why someone with this much talent would try so hard to distance himself from what he is so popular for.

I almost cried when I heard this, it's not at all what I wanted from Chris and it makes no sense to me.

I'm going to try to give this a few more listens, there are some soft spots on Faces- Music Man and Bag of Bones but there are absolutely none on Warped.

I just can't help thinking, why? It doesn't sound like Savatage or TSO, it doesn't even sound like anything else out there right now. I couldn't even put it in any one category. I am so upset right now.

You have to understand, that is the whole point of having a solo album. You can do whatever you want without having to take other people into consideration.

Rage, bitterness, anger, aggressive vocals... sounds pretty good for my tastes! Also, reminds me of some of the earlier Savatage stuff.

And I think Chris Caffrey takes a lot of influence from Criss Oliva's style, with the fury in the playing. That was one of Criss' trademarks, and it's great that he's keeping it alive.

"I'm planting my dynamite outside of city hall
Remembering the time I spent locked inside four walls
Hand on the button, the countdown begins
Am I gonna burn in hell for all my lifelong sins?

I know love, it is all a game.......

Rage!!!!!!!!! Rage, Rage, rage!!!!!!!!!
Rage!!!, Rage, rage, rage!!!!!!!!!!!"
