DRAMA

This is probably my favorite Yes album, though I'm not a big Yes fan. The majority of the songs a pretty solid and a good change from the more classic Yes sound. The album starts out very strong with the best song of the album, Machine Massiah. I love the heavier sound and I wish that more of the songs were like this. The heavy guitar drivin sound is great. White Car doesn't add to the album but i certainly doesn't make it any worse, being only 1:21 and mostly spoken words. Deos it Really Happen is a great midpoint for the album. Another great song on the album. Here's where the album takes a quite turn for the worse. Inot the Lens is by far the weakest song on the album. While the musicianship on the song is great the lyrics bother me almost to the point where I just skip it. The insesent repeating on I am a camera bothers me to no end. Once again the album gets great. Run Through the Light is another strong song. The album ends almost as strong as it began with Tempus Fugit. The second best song on the album. Over all I would have to but this between 4 and five stars. I'll say 4.75 rounding up to 5.
