DRAMA

Take away the driving forces of Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman away from Yes and what do you get? Well, a better album than Tormato. This album is agressive and very electric, like Squire and White were fed energy drinks. This sounds almost like a completely different band. Of course, all of the material here is subpar, but yet an oddly intriguing blend considering how this album was made. Machine Messiah and Tempus Fugit are keepable songs from the Yes repertoire making this album good, but nothing essential as it's nothing entirely grasping or impressive.
