Description
After their acoustic tour 2019/2020 the band went straight to the studio. The result: a completely new sonic world that invites the fans to dive deeper into the musical phenomenon that is SAGA. “Symmetry” offers a new SAGA listening experience by bundling complex and delicate arrangements of their songs with familiar melodies and sounds. Besides their hits “Pitchman”, “Wind Him Up”, “No Regrets” or “Tired World” the album comes also with three new instrumental pieces.

Tracklist
1. Pitchman
2. The Perfect Time To Feel Better - Time To Go - The Perfectionist - We Hope You’re Feeling Better
3. Images – Chapter 1
4. Always There
5. Prelude # 1
6. Say Goodbye To Hollywood
7. Prelude # 2
8. The Right Side Of The Other Hall - Footsteps In The Hall - On The Other Side You Were Right
9. La Foret Harmonieuse
10. Wind Him Up
11. No Regrets – Chapter 5
12. Tired World – Chapter 6

I'm speechless here - after the band's huge and official retirement from about a year ago.
perhaps this is not new studio material?
I do adore SAGA and am a completist with their output - this news excites me.
maybe they've been hanging-out with A-Ha recently.

I was part of that supposed final tour as I saw them on the Cruise To The Edge in a sort of goodbye tour and then last year in NJ at PROGSTOCK as I sat in the front row but this is new material.

It’s a new studio album.

I think Michael Sadler and Jim Crichton are still there so this could be very good.

Update: I've added details to the opening post.

I suppose i'll take what I can get.

I am absolutely smitten with the quality of the songs in these two videos.
KUDOS!
I can only hope the rest of the album is as good - might be their best release in many years.
