DRAMA

I agree with all the reviewers who heaped praise on this album; I really enjoy it much more than TORMATO or even GOING FOR THE ONE. The only thing I find disappointing is the absence of any great or truly symphonic guitar solos by Steve Howe. Many people appreciate Steve's contributions to the album, but why didn't he grab this opportunity to play another epic solo just like that wonderful guitar 'cadenza' from 'Sound Chaser'? It seems that, after RELAYER, Steve's visionary days were long gone. If there's anything visionary about DRAMA, it probably stems from Chris Squire. But, most of all, this is simply a fun, radio-friendly album.
