Fw: [Mellotronists] YES & Rick
2002-05-08 by JS
Don't get me wrong , they're interesting albums, and
they're still better than most not-Yes, but I think they strayed pretty far from
the fold for those - Drama is essentially a Chris Squire solo album, and Relayer
is ...I don't know what the fuck Relayer is. Maybe somebody put some bad
LSD-25 in Anderson's carrot juice. No, I just don't think Moraz was a very
good fit or a wise decision for Yes. One thing for sure, Drama points out
just how important Squire actually is to the band. Anything with Squire on
it sounds Yessy, and a lot of the solo stuff the other guys have done and some
of the non-Yes group stuff they have done with other bass players
doesn't. I submit that Chris is the magic ingredient.
So I'll stay within the minority here. Drama and Relayer are exceptional albums I think.
