Info:

This is Arena's best progressive rock work. Later albums are great, but tend more toward pop (although not quite exactly pop for those of you who may be scared away by the term). Empire of a Thousand Days and Sirens are classic prog. The a capella Crying for Help is very well sung.Whereas their first album, Songs from the Lions Cage, is very good, this album, Pride, is not. In fact, it's not even close. All of Arena's other albums are much better than this one. There are a few somewhat redeeming moments on this album that can be found in the songs Crying for Help 5 & 6, Medusa, and Sirens. However, your money will be better spent on their latest album, Contagion, which is excellent.
