This is one hell of a dark album. On any given Savatage album, there is a lot of gloom, but Hall Of The Mountain King is the most murky of all. Not in an evil way, but more in a cold, desolate way. They type of feeling you'd get on the bottom of the ocean, watching a sunset in Antarctica, or on some distant mountain top, shrouded in clouds. This is helped by the massive amount of chorus on Criss' guitars. Even the catchy, radio ready songs like "Strange Wings" and "The Price You Pay" have a healthy dose of melancholy to them.

The first six songs are perfect in every way, there isn't one thing I'd change there. The price you pay is a quality ballad, but it's a real shame they couldn't close it out in the same manner. Don't get me wrong, the last three songs are not bad at all, it's just that I feel they kind of don't belong here, especially White witch. It almost ruins the atmosphere created by the previous tracks. Still, I'd give it something like 9.5.

But White Witch is one of the best songs on the album.
