Spec how are those YES albums 'Drama' and 'Talk' never owned them or I don't believe I ever even heard any songs of those albums, just curious what your opinion is of these albums.

manny,

Here's my thoughts on "Talk":

Yes' "Talk" album is the last full album produced by the Trevor Rabin
version of the band. I for one loved the first album produced by this
line-up, 1983's smash "90125", so listening to the pop stylings of
"Talk" should have been a piece of cake. Well it wasn't. This album is
too "happy" (for lack of a better word). I kept thinking about that
Paul Simon song "Call Me Al" while listening to this one. This sucker
is slickly polished to point of sounding unnatural and almost sounds
like a Trevor Rabin solo project. The rest of the guys sound like they
could have easily been studio musicians, or even Rabin himself. I hear
nothing from Chris Squire that stands out. No bass runs, no low
end.....no bass at all for that matter. Until...."Endless Dream".
"Endless Dream" is the only track that sounds progressive at all. In
fact, its one of the better songs they have done since their 70's
heyday. Just a fantastic song!


So, I recommend this album to you. Why? "Endless Dream". Just
skip the rest and get to that tune. You will thank me. The rest? Meh...

Is that the album he tried to turn into the "Greatest Spectacle on Ice"?

I don't know about those exact words, but I read there was an ice show that went with it.

I recognize it from one of those VH-1 shows, the "101 Greatest Rock Disasters" or something like that. Guys in fake horse outfits swordfighting on ice skates with a epic prog-rock soundtrack has a very limited appeal.

Man, Valient Thorr is not an old band from the 80s? Haha. I thought that was an obscure thrash reissue from the 80s. Sure does look like it. Crazy.

I used to have that on vinyl...for the life of me I can't remember a thing about it. Spec is drinking deep from the fountain of Yes.
