I first heard this album on a winter afternoon in Middletown NY at the legendary Rock Fantasy heavy metal shop on 75-79 West Main Street, I was playing on one of the pinball machines and I was just the only one in the store along with Steve and the title track "gutter Ballet" caught my ear, not enough to buy it then,I was always broke, but as the years went by and the album became out of print, I started appreciating it a little more, I would hear it on Digital Cable Radio once in a while, but overall a good rock album also check out Streets..A Rock Opera released in 1991, also by Savatage.
Totally enjoying it

This album, along with "Streets, a Rock Opera" represents the pinnicle of the Criss and Jon Oliva "progressive rock" era of Savatage. The sophisticated compositions and combination of classical themes, heavy riffs and intricate guitar work surpasses their first collaboration with Paul O'Neill and Robert Kinkel (of Trans-Siberian Orchestra fame), "Hall of the Mountain King" and is light years ahead of their earlier "dungeon metal" efforts. It easily ranks in the top ten of my favorite prog metal albums of all time.
Savatage....of course it's great....
