Customer Reviews of Citadel

Goofy but fun.
Hard to believe anyone except Starcastle fans will ever find their way to this album, but it's a gem. From the first time I heard these folks, way back in 1978, I've been charmed by their prog meets pop approach. Terry Luttrell's voice always sounded a bit wimpy for my tastes, but that's part of the fun. The Roy Thomas Baker production on this one, shortly before he applied the same approach to The Cars first album, is terrific.

Citadel - a Long Lost Friend.
I really like Starcastle. This group was my first introduction to progressive rock, prior to Yes and Kansas. I think Terry Luttrell's vocals are polished and smooth. Herb Schildt's work on Synthesizer is clean, dynamic and not overpowering. As a whole, I think Starcastle's musicianship is mezmerizing. A long time ago I had this album on Vinyl and wore it out. I am happy I found it on CD and plan to buy every CD in Starcastle's catalog.

Blast From The Past
I really like Starcastle, I do NOT think think they are a Yes clone. To me, Starcastle's music is the equal of other acts in this genre like Yes, and Kansas. Herb Schildt's synthesizer work is the equal of anyone. It is smooth and not overpowering. Terry Luttrell's vocals are polished. It doesn't sound like he is screaming at the listener. I think this CD is as great now as the vinyl copy I bought 20+ years ago. I have been searching for Starcastle's music on CD in the local stores since CD's first came out and plan to purchase their entire catalog on CD.
