Album Description EXCLUSIVE US VERSION! Amazing foldout Digi with 20 page booklet, bonus CD and additional exclusive tracks only avaible in US version! Christopher Caffery is a living legend that played with numerous band included Savatage and the very popular Trans-Siberian Orchestra. His first solo album, "Faces", shows all the facets of his musical life. Caffery´s first album for Greek metal specialists Black Lotus Records, delivers splendid versatile compositions with ultimately catchy hooks. Chris´ fantasies range from ultra-heavy explosions to psychedelic slow songs, bluesy tunes and thrilling crossover (nu)metal anthems: powerful, with a distinctive progressive and personal touch, packed with discreetly added sound gimmicks all over the place. As an extra addition to the mighty "Faces" album, there is another 11-track CD (2 exclusive in USA version) entitled "Damn war" which has a concept of it?s own: War. This bonus album represents a more aggressive and socially aware side of Chris, incorporating various elements, which altogether create a unique story expressed through metal music by the magical hands and voice of! Chris. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsDisapointing Dud. Chad Novell | 03/12/2007 (2 out of 5 stars) "Even as a huge Savatage/Doctor Butcher/TSO/Jon Oliva's Pain fan this is possibly the most disappointing CD I have purchased in years. I have tried to force my self to listen to this CD on several occasions hoping it would grow on me a little bit, but no such luck.
First let me say it has nothing to do with comparing it to anything else from the Sava-camp. I don't care if Chris would have done Japanese power-pop album, as long as it was done well I would have liked it. The real problem I have with this album is that the production/songwriting/execution is almost as poor as an average local band might sound. Chris really has no business trying to be a lead singer. His voice is frequently weak, which is forgivable, but also frequently out of tune and rarely is there really even a decent melody. The songs are not memorable and at times even annoying. I really fail to see why others like it so much, the whole thing is really just sub-par to me and I thought Chris really would have done a better job than this. At the end of the day I do admit that I wish the members of Savatage would quit screwing around with their individual projects and just get back together to produce a new Savatage album. Without trying to sound cheesy, they really do have a synergy together that is lacking when apart." |
