Network is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Saga, released in the fall of 2004.
Contents
The record appears to be a partial concept album about television; the opening number is entitled "On The Air", and it features songs like "Keep It Reel" and "Live At Five", which make references to television programming. In addition, the cover artwork features a television set depicting the band's earliest logo on screen.
The album features a noticeably heavier sound than many other records in the band's discography and a speedy, at times almost rap-like vocal delivery on "Keep It Reel". By comparison, "Believe" is a calm ballad and features only piano and Michael Sadler's vocals for just over half its length.
A two-disc version of Network was released on November 8, 2005, comprising the original CD and a DVD containing a 5.1 mix of the original album.
