4 stars without hesitation, great album!
I don't care about Anderson and Wakeman not being there, it's the music that counts.

3 stars from me. I like it and there are some good tracks on it, but not close to the true 4-5 star Yes albums like Fragile, CTTE,Relayer, etc.

4 stars
after CTTE, Fragile and The Yes Album (all 5 stars) and Going For The One (4.5) I like it as much as anything else Yes did.

4 , drama is a very good album, but not a strong 4 , more like 3,6.

I think it's much better than Close To The Edge.
Nahhh....just kidding but definitely 4 star. I don't care if Anderson is there or not, I think the material is great. I love every track on that album even the shorter ones, Trevor Horn did a great job. It's true it has a poppy vibe to it but it works very well.

I own it on vinyl but have yet to listen (don't want to bother with any records till I get a new player. The one i have is a half broken sh*tty portable from the early 70s that makes listening to records a chore)

Solid 3.5 stars, I like it quite alot.....Tempus Fugit is the track that wore out its welcome very quickly. The rest holds up well.
Also where I got off the Yes train. It's really the only post-Relayer album I can get into any more.

I have rated it three stars. Both Machine Messiah and Tempus Fugit are great tracks, but the rest of album does not quite come up to the same par.

Easy 4 stars - One or two great mini epics, a whole bunch of good shorter songs and one inoffensive throwaway - `Man In A White Car'!
I avoided this album for quite a while fearing the worst, instead it's one of my favourite Yes albums, and they've certainly had poorer albums.
I always defend this one!

I gave it 5 stars. A great album and one of my favourites. The band really kicks a** on this album!! The performances of Howe, Squire and White are some of the best work of their careers IMO.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

It's quite good album, better than most of the albums Yes did later. Machine Messiah and Tempus Fugit are great tracks - great enough to give it 4 stars... Maybe it's because this one was the second record I heard from Yes sometime in 1982/1983 (the first one was Close To The Edge).
