Title: The glory of Asia
Review: Asia was unfairly criticized during their early 80's heydey for personifying the worst of corporate, arena rock. And while Asia's sound was far more commercial than any of its individual members' earlier work (e.g., Yes, The Buggles, King Crimson, E.L.P.), there was no denying the power and uniqueness of this band. Somehow they managed to project a full wall of sound, while still conveying the precision of each instrument (this held true particularly on their masterful first album). And what musicianship! This album contains much of their finest work, and is a great summation of a classic rock band. Now if only the original four members had stayed together for a few more albums...
