Rating: The Savatage... One of the most underrated bands of all time... Their discography is of an outstanding quality level with the peaks of "Gutter Ballet" and "Streets". I recommend to anyone who doesn't know them to seek out their discography and listen to all the albums especially from "Gutter Ballet" onwards because we are really talking about a great rock-metal band.
"Fight for the rock" was released in 1986 and it is the fourth album of the Florida quartet. It is undoubtedly the weakest episode of their discography, by their own admission, and after its release and the subsequent tour there was even the risk that the band would break up.
The album is marked by poor production, mainly due to two English managers who did everything but help the band get noticed in Europe. The only songs worth a closer listen are "Lady in disguise" where you can hear something of what Savatage will become in the future, and "Fight for the rock" which despite everything turns out to be quite powerful.
In conclusion, an album to have only after listening to all the others, so as not to risk forming a negative opinion of one of the best bands the metal scene has offered us.

01 Fight for the Rock (03:57)
Warriors of the night
You're here in force tonight
Stand up, raise your fist 'cause you believe
You will never fade away
Rock is here to stay
That's why you're gathered here tonight
Pledge allegiance to the rock
Together you are strong
Fight for the rock
You know you better fight for the rock
Fight for the rock'n'roll
Stand up, be counted child
Don't slip away
Don't ever let it get you down, no
Don't live your life in frustration
Get rock dedication
That's why you're gathered here tonight.
Piercing sound the thunder clouds explode into the night.
Fight for the rock

04 Day After Day (03:40)
I remember finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Everyday I feel the tears that you'd weep
Looking out from my lonely gloom
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you
Looking out of my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember finding out about you
Everyday my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely room
Day after day
Bring it home, baby make it soon
I give my love to you
Day after day Day after day Day after day
07 Lady in Disguise (03:20)
She's not what she seems
Just a vision in my dreams
I wonder why
Face to face she appears quite strange
Never ever got her name
I'm a fool inside
Her eyes cried lady in disguise
Lady in disguise
I knew from the moment I saw her face
To the edge of the world I would chase her again
And when I'm out walking the town
There's never a doubt that she'll be around with another guy
Her eyes sighed, lady in disguise
Lady in disguise
I was captured from the start
Bodies touching heart to heart
I was holding her for long
Then I woke and she was gone
Then a voice called from the night
I'm still into the night
I sat up in my bed
Sweat was running off my head
This must have been a dream
It took me a while, then I realized
I still could feel her crystal eyes haunting me
I died, lady in disguise
Lady in disguise
Lady in disguise
Why, why
