RIO

Fans of Trevor and his tenure in Yes would welcome this album. It has all the hallmarks of his time in the band- the big choruses, high-octane guitar playing, cinematic keyboards and multi-layered vocal harmonies. All of this would be somewhat meaningless if the songwriting wasn't up to scratch but Rabin delivers on that front as well ('Big Mistake' has more than a few echoes of 'The Calling' from the Yes 'Talk' album). 'Goodbye' even feels like a cheeky nod to the style of guitar rag associated with Steve Howe. The playing throughout is excellent and this album could easily be a successor to the heavily under-rated Yes 'Talk' album or an indication of what an album with Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman might have sounded like had that window not closed so quickly.
