Well I've finally got to hear Fish Out Of Water . On first impression it's very original and uses different instrumentation to that used in Yes. It's certainly very interesting although whether I would consider it to be on the same level of Acolyte , only time will tell. Nice addition to my collection though.

I haven't heard both albums so no official vote. Squackett was a genuinely nice album, btw. Also, Voyage is actually not my favorite Hackett album or even my second, but it's up there. Spectral Mornings > Momentum > To Watch the Storms > Guitar Noir > Defector > Voyage (on this day, anyway).

I like both. And if you haven't heard Fish Out of Water, I recommend it.
That said, I have to go with a personal favorite Voyage. Ace of Wands was my ringtone for a good period of time.

I think I agree! (Not about the "whack" part... )

I'm not really that fond of No Earthly Connection... the musical ideas are to dispersed for me. However, even though I usually hate Medleys, I love the shorter live version on "Out of the Blue"... it really picks the best of the song/album and puts it in a single shorter song. As for Fish out of Water, there's something that doesn't fully work for me from it... there are many Wakeman solo albums I like much better.

Criminal Record is a good album but No Earthly Connection is epic. I agree that Judas is one of the best Rick's tracks.
Anyway Fish is the best solo album of a YES member, IMO |

Yeah, Judas and Criminal Record are amazing as well. I wouldn't say that my favourites, but up there among them for sure. And I do agree with The Breathalizer putting down that album too. |

Gave the vote to Steve, although I, like almost everyone else commenting, truly enjoy both albums. I listen to FOoW more but that is largely because I have Voyage on lp, and I rarely listen to those now, and Fish is digital. I like the sound quality on Fish better but the music on Acolyte is just that much more stunning.

Voyage has better highs but Fish outta is WAY more consistent and has less muddled sound quality.

Six Wives and Myths and Legends are both flawless albums although my favourite Wakeman track is Judas Iscariot . Criminal Record would have been his best album but for The Breathalyser imo.

Nope although I've just ordered the re-issue (CD + DVD) set on the basis that there is obviously a very large hole in my collection!
