 Rating:  - The Best!Wonderful CD - had the album years ago. Every song is a hit, and if your like me, perfect for singing when you are alone in your car! Rating: - AsiaThis is about as close to being an essential album as an artist can get without being rated as such. The line up of songs is near fantastic; it's arena rock at near its best. Best songs on here are "Heat of the Moment" "Sole Survivor", "Without You" & "Cutting It Fine". It's the song "One Step Closer" that keeps this album from being essential. Asia was a "supergroup" with its members coming from other well established groups: Steve Howe (lead guitarist from Yes), Carl Palmer (drummer from Emerson, Lake & Palmer), John Wetton (vocalist & bassist from King Crimson) & Geoff Downes (keyboardist from the Buggles). With that lineup you just knew you were gonna get prog/art rock out of you-know-what! Surprise! They actually ...

Now listen to this cd again and realize how this was a poor cd. I did and I can say that this album is really poor and I won't listen to it for the rest of my life, this is the kind of pop prog for the mass and has nothing to do with real prog music. Instead, look for what these guys has made in the 70's with their respective bands and you'll see the difference.... Rating: - Not in My Wildest DreamsAt the dawn of the 1980s, the ship of progressive rock had all but foundered on the jagged reefs of musical fashion, weighted down with its leaden pretensions and buoyed on toward ruin by a new wave. Things looked bleak for fans of this once-glorious genre. But then, like a phoenix from the ashes, a band arose from the wreck, borne on the wings of a dragon: Asia. By its very nature, any supergroup is bound to inspire somewhat outsize expectations. But Asia had outsize expectations even for a supergroup. Assembled from the ranks of Yes (Steve Howe), Emerson Lake & Palmer (Carl Palmer), King Crimson (John Wetton), and the Buggles (Geoff Downes), Asia - or the idea of Asia - must have seemed a band of messianic proportions to fans of ... Read More: Rating:  - Decent slab of '80s rockI'll start off with the negative side of things. Even though it features several notable progressive rock musicians, this album shows little resemblance to that style, so if you're looking for The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway or Dark Side Of The Moon your search is futile. This album has much more in common with Frontiers than the aformentioned records. That said, if you've ever wondered what it would be like to create a catchy, radio-ready album that still retained the ultraterrestrial atmosphere and flawless musicianship of prog...here is your album, my friend! This record has all the classics: "Heat of the Moment" (which features an excellent prog-style break at 1:43), "Only Time Will Tell", and five others which cracked the Billboard ... Read More: |
