SAXON - Crusader (1984)


Saxon released this album in 1984 and is one of their most controversial pieces of work. Here you will find metal epics like "Crusader" and "Sailing to America" but also some "heavy rockers" that state their desperate will to make it in America and hit the charts. Those tracks although they are a bit naive sometimes, they can kick some serious rocking asses pretty easy. Many people find "Crusader" a sell-out attempt or a long way from their best (which is not true) but to me is still a classic mid-80s gem.
