Savatage are a weird, wonderful and mysterious unit, through all their formations and guises over the last 25-30 years. Their sound is completely unique, with the vicious singing talents of Jon Oliva (lead vocals), the strange, offbeat guitar work of his brother Criss Oliva (1978-1993), the pulsating reliability of Johnny Lee Middleton (bass) and whoever occupies the drum stool all create a haunting hard rock vibe. I’ve found every Savatage album that I’ve sat and listened to; impressive, raw and diverse in one way or another and 1986’s “Fight For The Rock” is no different in my opinion. Now it will come as no surprise to tell you that this is my favourite ‘Tage record out of their whole catalogue to date. But, to all Savatage fans and to the band themselves, it is considered to be their worst work. Jon Oliva even said in October 1994: "I've never really been fond of that album.” It is also referred to as “Fight For The Nightmare”. The problem I have, is that I don’t see any problem with this album. It’s very, very good. It appears to be unjustly criticized and slated by the world and his wife for being “commercial”. The fact is, it’s still too “out there”, possibly alienating a wider mainstream audience (although it did chart) yet retains many dark and heavy qualities that should’ve drawn Savatage fans in right off the bat.
