DRAMA

Much better than the previous one. In fact it has little to do with the previous ones. But when you look at it carefully, you shoul enjoy it. The sound has changed. A new decade has come and so the old sound has gone. Is it bad? It's different. Keyboards are different, more artificial, but Downes manages to play them quite interesting and with verry progressive touch like in Does it really happen. Mashine messiah is great, big track, a verry good opener, maybe even an epic. Into the lens (camera camera, hehe) is quite funny track. I remember a little part of it was one of the signals in the Polish Radio some years ago, but I did'n know where did it came from. Now I know. Run through the light starts absolutely fantastic! This mood, spacey keyboards and echo aded to the vocal are brilliant. It's a shame that later it becomes more poppy. Finally we have Tempus fugit. Great, fast track with good old Squire and Howe showing their best.

I really like this album and consider very simmilar to the King Crimson Color Trilogy, which is also very good in my opinion. It's different than older Yes, but very fresh and very entertaining.
