Jesus Saves is in the same symphonic metal tradition as the rest of the albums Streets
and Gutter Ballet (especially the song Gutter Ballet). Dead Winter Dead is heavier but
has some songs on the symphonic side. Overall, you might like DWD better than Streets.
Oliva on guitar? Criss Oliva is dead, you didn't know? Jon is doing the keyboards. The
gig I attended, he sung Gutter Ballet (fortunately!).

"Most Savafans" - which albums do they prefer? Maybe it's too symphonic for them?
