Yes – Drama (CD) - Brand New - Audio CD (Quick Ship)

Released in 1980, ‘Drama’ marks a compelling chapter in Yes’s storied evolution. With Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman’s departure, newcomers Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes (of The Buggles fame) inject fresh energy and distinct sonic textures into the band’s progressive rock foundation. What emerges is an album that balances intricate musicianship with a sharper, almost futuristic edge. Tracks like “Machine Messiah” and “Tempus Fugit” showcase a band unafraid to explore new territory, blending complex arrangements with moments of raw, driving momentum. Rather than retreating into nostalgia, Yes embraces change and pushes their sound forward, challenging both themselves and their listeners. ‘Drama’ is often regarded as an underrated gem—its boldness and willingness to defy expectations have only grown more appreciated with time. For collectors and fans of rock’s more adventurous side, this album offers a fascinating glimpse into Yes’s adaptability and enduring creative spirit. Add ‘Drama’ to your collection not only for its musical ingenuity, but for its role in the ever-evolving landscape of progressive rock.
