专辑介绍
by Alex Henderson
Going through a lot of personnel changes can make a band's output very erratic -- in the '80s and '90s, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath went through so many personnel changes that you never knew if a new album would be decent, mediocre or quite forgettable. But personnel changes haven't prevented Savatage from being impressively consistent. In 1993, Savatage suffered a cruel blow when guitarist and founding member Criss Oliva was killed in a car crash. But the band bounced back nicely with Handful of Rain, which was the first album it recorded after Criss' death and found him being replaced by former Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick. With a lineup consisting of Skolnick, singer Zachary Stevens, bassist Johnny Lee Middleton and drummer Steve Wacholz, Savatage delivers an album that is melodic, ambitious, often operatic and consistently absorbing. Jon Oliva, who had co-founded Savatage with brother Criss back in 1978, is listed as a co-producer and a keyboardist, but not as an actual member. The songs are dramatic, passionate and intense, but they're also quite melodic -- in fact, melody and aggression are equally important on this excellent album. Appropriately, Savatage dedicated Handful of Rain to Criss' memory.

- @图窦(L F)：还是喜欢这张专辑！也许你会被第一首歌吓着，但接着在Handful of Rain贝司轻柔的前奏和主唱低吟声带领下觉得舒缓像是淋着细雨，但随着主唱略带生涩嗓音的高声嘶吼会觉得疾风暴雨般的爆发，然后再渐渐的平静下来。像是坐过山车，亦或是潮起潮落，专辑里的大部分歌曲都是这种风格。最后一首Alone You Breathe像是一道精美的甜品让你细细回味。
