Title: One-Great-Album Wonder
Review: What a great start! This album earned Asia 3 hits ("Heat of the Moment", "Only Time Will Tell", and "Sole Survivor"). It featured the experimental side of the band members' "alma matters" Yes(Steve Howe and Geoff Downes, sorry, I only heard 1 song from the Buggles!), ELP (Carl Palmer, who would comment that he preferred playing shorter songs like on this album), and King Crimson (John Wetton). That, combined with the techno-pop sound, this band had potential! The chenistry worked, at least for this album (on the next album, the potential was greater than the execution, and personell changes such as Greg Lake temporarily replacing Wetton in the midst of the tour and Howe leaving shortly after). But let's remember this 1 great moment for the band! And most of this album sounds as good as did when we found ourselves in '82! (like the hits mentioned above and songs like "One Step Closer" "Here Comes the Feeling", and "Time Again")
