Saxon
Crusader
3.25 out of 5
You know why this record sounds so good?
Two words. Sound. City.
It’s that magical mixing board + a solid rhythm section, laser focused licks that help propel this record despite the tired subject matter and songwriting. Case in point: “Bad Boys Like to Rock and Roll”, which kicks ass musically and sonically (although it’s a wee tinny) but the song craft is middling Kiss, at best. I mean, is there anything more Paul Stanley than Saxon’s “Rock City”?
