4 stars Asia, is this really prog? I'd say this is more of classic / arena rock. So should we review this album as a prog album? At least I won't!

The album kicks of with the famous single "the heat of the moment", it's a real pop song, and in my opinion not very interesting. Probably the weakest track on the whole album.

After that it all gets better. Especially the song "Time Again" (which features some aggressive guitar playing by Steve Howe) is very well done, it reminds me a lot of the Yes album Drama.

All in all, the album is not very consistent as it contains some weak tracks and some really good tracks. It's not a progressive rock master piece, but a very nice complex arena rock album.

Four stars for this one.
