Savatage era preferences...?

everything up through STREETS, was great. everything after streets was just kinda boring. i think the death of criss oliva had something to do with that but it became just one concept album after another and it got boring. i love the stuff like HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING and WHITE WITCH. the older heavier stuff. and like i said, the STREETS album was also great. but after that.....oh! and they need to have paul o'niell (is that his name?) STOP producing their albums. i also think thats a factor to why their music has just become boring.
