Where this album fits

Career context
Released on August 1, 1985, 'Behaviour' was Saga's sixth studio album, following their commercial success with 'Worlds Apart' (1981). At this point in their career, they were exploring a more mature sound, moving away from the heavier elements of earlier works towards a subtler, more introspective approach. This shift reflected both an artistic evolution and the changing landscape of rock music in the mid-80s.
