    Just this year all of the previously released Saint material was remixed and put together on this two disc set. If you are already a Saint fan you'll be glad to get this set because of the improved clarity as well as the Warriors Of The Son material which was previously unavailable on CD. If you are not familiar with Saint let me describe their music this way: it'll kick your tail! Very much a Christian version of Judas Priest and just as good. These guys were way ahead of their time. The Warriors Of The Son EP and Time's End were just straight ahead, no-frills heavy Metal while their third release, Too Late For Living had an added element of classical/shredding guitar soloing. All three of the releases were so full of hooks you'd be bleeding when they were over. Now you can have all three of these together. It is hard to imagine a better deal for the money. This stuff ain't dated, folks! Especially with the current revival of Judas Priest.
