Yes, Drama.

When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night.

I prefer Drama. In my opinion, it's one of Yes' most underrated records

Cow is musicians music. Its for those souls with the ability to listen to this and really get into it, yes, but essentially its for the players themselves. I'm afraid that for me its just a bit too hard to get my old fart's ears around anymore. Guess I've gotten older and fatter and lazier, well at least my ears have. Of course it will still be played in ten years time but to the same souls who would probably claim that Keith Jarret has become overly commercial. Drama is for me about the only post CTTE (or maybe Relayer) Yes album that I even vaguely enjoy but then again I really liked the Buggles. It was such a gloriously cynical effort, particularly Age of Plastic. Drama feels much the same to me. Prog rock by numbers. Saved only by the ability of the members to put two and two together in a very appealing manner. Quite the foot tapper really but it is well played and sung though at the end of the day a tadge shallow.

Last week Mr. Bungle kicked Dream Theater's arse so this is just more evidence that the PA's a-changin'.
|
That is quite a change. My guess as to why this has happened has to do with a worldwide drink-spiking conspiracy. Folks who used to listen to the likes of Renaissance's Camera Camera and Suonare Suonare by PFM are now feasting on Faust and The Taj Mahal Travellers. Good times.

hmmm... no need to wait. More listens aren't changing this. Perhaps it was inevitable but open hearts.. open minds. I'm trying really hard Ringo.. trying really hard to be the rightious avant fan.
Perhaps these albums will meet again in 10 years and perhaps by then Auntie Raff and Uncle Ian will have fully converted me. I'm only on the path to RIO-Avant enlightenment... for now.. give me my ear candy. I still need it.
Howe's furious guitar runs, Squires kickin' bass lines, and the reminder it wasn't Anderson that was the voice of Yes.. it was the vocal harmonies.
Drama it is.

My contemporary percussionist ear says Cow. My feeble, catchy song driving playlist ear votes Yes.
Lets just give a half a vote to each and call it a day. Deal?

alrighty... the first of a good number of weekly spins of Western Culture underway... love Drama. Rate it with the best (though different obviously) that Yes ever did... but the vote is there to be taken.
