Before you listen to "Drama", it is important that you lower your expectations: this is a good album, but DO NOT expect a "Yes" album. There can't be "Yes" without Jon Anderson. For those who love "Yes" as much as I do, remember this when approaching this album.

Half the songs ("Machine Messiah", "Into the Lens", "Tempus Fugit") are great and are fun, but they're no masterpieces, with the possible exception of the first one (depending on your standarts). The others are entertaining at best - fortunately, those are exactly the shorter ones.

I want to make it clear that you are likely to enjoy this album even if, like me, you're mostly only moved by the very classics (you can say I'm a perfectionist). Just remember - if you're a "Yes" lover like me, then consider this album to be made by the band "Drama" and NOT "Yes". If you don't know "Yes" well enough yet, it is ESSENTIAL that you give their "golden era" (1969-1977 or 1971-1974, depending on the person you're asking) albums a listening through and through (I suggest starting with Close to the Edge, Fragile, and The Yes Album - that is, their albums in 1971-1972). Enjoy :)
