This goes to show how times have changed.  I was in college when Yes'
_Drama_ was released, and everyone (many critics included) said that
Yes had just bit the big one with the release of this album.  _Drama_,
of course, came hot on the heels of _Tormato_, the last album (for a while)
with Anderson and Wakeman.  (If you've never heard _Tormato_, consider yourself
one of the lucky few.)

I guess I'm just from the old school of Yes;  the only Yes CDs I own are
_Fragile_ and _Close_To_The_Edge_ (I disagree with the 'Bleck!' comment);
I stopped listening to that band after _Drama_, especially since _90125_
just grated on my nerves.
