Savatage- Power Of The Night 1986 Atlantic Records
Released May 20, 1986 Recorded Bearsville Studios, Bearsville, New York Produced by Max Norman
1. "Power of the Night" 2. "Unusual" 3. "Warriors" 4. "Necrophilia" 5. "Washed Out" 6. "Hard for Love" 7. "Fountain of Youth" 8. "Skull Session" 9. "Stuck on You" 10. "In the Dream"
1997 Edel Music CD reissue Bonus Track "Sleep" (Piano Version) 2002 SPV CD reissue Bonus Tracks "Power Of The Night" (LIVE) "Sirens" (LIVE) 2011 EarMusic CD reissue Bonus Tracks "City Beneath The Surface" (LIVE) "Hounds" (LIVE)
Again the poll is for the original vinyl release. Don't have the reissues, nor care to for live versions or alternate versions of songs mostly from another time frame, especially "sleep" from what 7 years later.
I was all over this as a new release while living in Arlington, Texas. Always dug on the intro before the title track, Billy Thorpe-ish? Jon's delivery is awesome, killer leads, the over production bleeds the balls from some tunes, and of course it's "inuendo" galore. "In The Dream" has sentimental value, but my vote is for the title track.
Until next time...

One of my 80’s concert going highlights - was being at a 500 person club - packed - Tuesday - midnight - Savatage comes out and plays Power of the Night - I’m around 21 years old. I’ll never forget that moment - lol I picked Hard for your Love - love the riff - vocals - my favorite song by them !

I love this whole friggin' album; even the really cheesy tracks like "hard for Love" and "Skull Session" cuz they still rock. I went for the title track cuz I love the long intro as it's just so feckin' 1980's, man. It always reminds me of the Terminator. "Warriors" is a very close second, though. This one needs a "picture disc" vinyl release.

Power of the night. One of my favourite Savatage tunes ever. Also love the cover by Tad Morose. Brutal!

Same here, but Hard For Love is a close second.

Title track is just too good. Should be a thread about the 2nd favourite song instead. That would be more interesting.

Title track is one of the best metal songs ever released. Would rank it in my top 10 metal tunes.

Fountain Of Youth because that's where you might find the truth. Sure, it will put your head in a rush and of course the science is working on us.
Followed by the title track, Hard For Your Love (lyrics aside), the ballad In The Dream, and Unusual.

Oh wow, let us know how you like it. When that first tune kicks in, it's heavy metal bliss!
Production is better than on the first two albums, but it's not that different in style. (I do prefer the first two overall, but there's some amazong highlights on the Power of the Night). It's nothing like Fight for the Rock, that's for sure. That was the big sellout record.
