Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the departure of Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, Yes boldly recruited members of The Buggles to deliver a highly synthesized, modern reinvention of their sound. 'Drama' is a remarkably energetic, incredibly technical progressive rock album that successfully fuses complex, epic arrangements with sleek, futuristic new wave sensibilities.
