From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Eventually this is the only Asia album really worth buying.

The John Wetton period is the period with the most poppy albums, Astra and Alpha are just horrid arena- rock/aor albums.

This one is different, it seems like all the creativity is caramelized in this album. Don't expect UK-ish fusion/prog music but it's still good.

Combine Yes, ELP and the smokey voice of John Wetton and that's what you can expect. Heavy, over-the-top arrangments with layers of keyboards and lost and lots of different guitarsounds. Hardhitting Palmer does what he does best. Even the songwriting is prog enough to be a true progrock album. It's a shame they never could top this one.
