No, I didn't mean self-mockery!  At the time, I don't recall thinking it was a 'return to form' for Yes or a new direction either... I didn't get to see the tour.  At the time 90125 seemed much more interesting but that has aged very badly...

Fugazi for me. Neither album is a masterpiece, and both are generally underrated,but for me Marillion's sophomore offering has aged better than Drama.

Self-parody? I don't see how they were mocking themselves... Confused

I've read the album was poorly received when it was released, nevertheless the album got some respect and appreciation throughout the years. 
I for one listened to the album for the first time back in early 2000s, a friend of mine had the album and I borrowed it. I loved it instantly, it's one of my favorites from Yes to be honest.

I don't think it was decline, or is it what people say when a band changes line-up, is it decline? It would be decline if the songwriting of the new line-up was poor, which is not the case with Yes's Drama. 

So you've voted for Fugazi? Tongue

Love both equally , two of the most interesting and inventive prog albums of the 80's and underappreciated on release.

I liked Fugazi when it was first released almost 40 (?!?) years ago. In the interest of good taste, I have since that time purged ALL Fish-era Marillion from my life.

Yet even when I was still listening to that album, I would have said that Drama is by far the better album between the two.

Both are killer albums, but Drama is lethal.

^ Agree. That's why I voted both. Not that I like them necessarily equally (if that is ever possible), but the day and the mood may make me prefer to listen to one over the other and/or the other way around...

Drama. But that's because I'm more a Yes than a Marillion fan, both are terrific albums.
