His solo stuff has had flashes of awesomness on each album, but as wholes, each album to me is just average. Including the new one. I feel similarly about Zach's and Chris' solo efforts. I mentioned this before, but what a great Savatage album(s) we could have if you put best songs from each one of their solo efforts?

You never will hear me argue that Paul O'Neill and Jon Oliva had a chemistry like no other writing team.
I think they about killed each other at times while making records, but they sure came up with some classics!
