Info for Network (Remastered)

Network is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Saga, released in the fall of 2004.

Network appears to be a partial concept album about television; the opening number is entitled "On the Air", and it features songs like "Keep It Reel" and "Live at Five", which make references to television programming. In addition, the cover artwork features a television set depicting five earlier Saga covers on the screen (the debut album prominently in the middle, Images at Twilight top left, Silent Knight bottom right, Full Circle bottom left and House of Cards top right). On the back cover, the song titles were prefaced with "Channel 1", "Channel 2", "Channel 3" and so on, recalling the Chapters series that had closed with the previous album, Marathon.

"The best songs are found early on this album. They start off great with the 6-minute piece “On The Air,” which shows that singer Michael Sadler and guitarist Ian Crichton still have what it takes. “Keep It Reel” and “Don’t Look Now” may very well be the heaviest Saga has ever had their hands on, and “I’m Back” has one of the strongest choruses these guys have produced in years.

The same can be said with their slow songs, and “Outside Looking In” and “If It Were You” are two great songs that shows the softer side of Saga, and helps to conclude that Saga has made an album of great range and quality.

Let’s hope they will include a sufficient amount of new songs in their live set this Autumn, as they are embarking on a European tour, starting in London in late October. The last tours have included very few new songs, but this is the time to put “On The Air,” “Keep It Real,” and “I’m Back” in amongst “Humble Stance,” “Don’t Be Late,” “The Flyer,” and other great Saga-moments."
