The Review:

Michael Sadler’s debut solo. Clear can be summed up as the more commercial side of Saga blending pop and hard rock. Clear is a wonderful collection of songs that Michael Sadler brings alive with the emotion and power of his voice. With that said, I really think that this CD is basically for the fans of Saga, a way of Michael doing music without his band mates to come up with a slightly different variation of what he normally does. I’ve noticed that Clear has a lot of “personal” songs, as if a reflection of Michael’s current stasis on life. Michael Sadler is one of the very few vocalists from the 70's that still has his voice intact. This year the fans of Saga are treated with a new release as well as Clear. I have yet to hear the new Saga but I;’m sure it’ll be a winner as always.

In closing, Clear is a definate recommended must have especially for fans of Saga.
