Title: Typical new Asia - trying to re-write history
Review: Anthology, like the great Communist purges of 1930s and 40s, appears to be an attempt to act as if the past never happened. Why else would Geoff Downes think he could get away with re-recording the band's best-known hits with a singer-guitarist (John Payne) who can't hold a candle to either John Wetton or Steve Howe? Payne's re-makes are embarrasing, and the new stuff is woefully poor; as dreadful as the new material on "Then & Now" was, I'd rather listen to that compared with anything this disc has to offer.
Is the review positive or negative?
