On Pleasure and The Pain, the band’s 12th studio album, Saga presents a much more edgy and tougher side than on their preceding albums. For Saga quite unusual, the guitar as the leading instrument dominates most of the tracks, powerful riffs take the place of former extensive keyboard parts. At that time, the band was searching for a new contemporary Saga sound while sticking to their trademark components. Pleasure And The Pain is clearly among the most exceptional works of Saga.
