Im guessing the new Neal Morse blows the new Yes album out of the water (like a fish, oh snap!)
Seriously, Testimony 2 is so good!. It has a couple Yes-influenced moments, and all they do is make me throw my fist in the air in triumph  |

Ugh, I thought this was going to be brand new. I really like Drama eh, but stil. Anyway, if you remember my posts on PA, I'm not actually really mad about new prog releases from old bands. Probably won't buy this. (and I saw Yes last year! heh)

Downes is on keyboards filling all the space around,Trevor Horn isn't on board, but musical material is coming mostly from The Buggles unreleased promo from 80s.

New Yes is so-so, but strongly Downes/Trevor Horn/The Buggles album.David Benoit tries hardly to imitate Anderson... Anyway, if you liked Horn/Downes version of Yes, you possibly will like this album,but not my cup of coffee.

I'm glad I haven't gotten it yet. You're not the first person to say that. I feel like the new Yes album will be the same way (...heads over to PA) |

Jakko Jakszyk/Robert Fripp/Mel Collins - A Scarcity Of Miracles was a huge disappointment for me

I've only picked up three from this year this year so far (so far so far?
 )Radiohead - King Of Limbs Knifeworld - Dear Lord, No Deal Jakko Jakszyk/Robert Fripp/Mel Collins - A Scarcity Of Miracles Did some catch up for last year with two The Reasoning releases: Adverse Camber and Acoustically Speaking, which are overshadowing those three at the moment. |

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...
