Album Description:
Re-recorded versions of the original demos used by the German metal act to shop for a label in 1995. The originals have long been unavailable after the initial pressing was sold out during their first gigs and is now considered highly collectable. The band re-worked the material to take advantage of their improved studio prowess (the originals were written and recorded while the band were still teen-agers). During the re-recording process the band had many ideas on how to improve the songs, including adding new parts. These are totally new vers

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Savage Poetry (2000) is the best Edguy album period
The re-recorded version of Savage Poetry, released in 2000, is the best Edguy Album. The demo-version of Savage Poetry recorded in the mid-nineties shows a promising young band with horrible production. Get the 2000 version of the album, where these German rockers redo their first LP and turn it into a modern Power Metal epic.

Hallowed starts off quiet, but then blows you away with a monster riff, and keeps going with amazing vocals from arguably the greatest frontman in the world. ...



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - old school edguy
this rerecording of edguys dabut album is ok it dosint sound as good as new edguy when this cd was made thay dident have the kind of talent that thay have now. but the vocals from Tobias Sammet and the lyrics to the songs are as good as thay are today if that is the mane reson you like this band buy this cd if you are more intrested in the musical talent by guitarist Jens Ludwig
i would save your money for theater of salvation or mandrake. but if you are a die hard edguy fan then get this cd.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Why the lower rating?
Don't get me wrong, Edguy is a fantastic band, just check out the epic feeling of "Theatre of Salvation" or their breakthrough crossing of Helloween, Blind Guardian and the triumphant pompousness of Virgin Steele, "Vain Glory Opera". But "The Savage Poetry" is simply a remake of their very first recording called "Savage Poetry", who's release was limited and very hard to come by. Since newfound fans of Edguy were clamoring to hear their very beginnings, the band decided to re-release the album. but ...



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - average songwriting, good performance
This album is a rerecording of their original full-length demo, and it shows in that the songs are generally not particularly inspiring. I can't name a single outstanding track (Although I do like the really high vocal on "Frozen Candle": "BurNIIIIING!"). Sammet's voice can be annoying: his vibrato is particularly broad and can be disorienting: "Flyiyiyiyiyiyiiiii"... Nevertheless, this album is heavier than "Theater of Salvation" and is not plagued by those annoying Meatloaf influences. So ...



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Just for hardcore fans
To my friend, music fan from Costa Rica, I guess you forgot to read the explanatory notes on the sleeve, and therefore were unable to realize that this was a re-recording of their first demo they sent to the record companies in germany. And it shows. The songwriting is average (who said that fast was better?), the musicianship is tight and Sammet's vocals sometimes can be annoying, but those moments are few. Don't get me wrong, I have their previous two and they are excellent albums, but If you're just ...
