Negative Positive
Title: Craftsman, Workmanlike Howe Goodness
Review: I bought this on vinyl when it came out. At that time I had no idea what to make of it. I recall liking Chris Squire's FISH OUT OF WATER better. OLIAS OF SUNHILLOW? Jon Anderson's first solo album? Well?Looking back all these years ago(and yes, I upgraded immediately when it came out in CD); All I can say is that while this album has its obvious flaws; It works on its own internal logic. I find most Howe solo albums seem to radiate an internal consistency that really makes their deconstruction in a review relatively meaningless.Alot of Yes musical history has gone beneath the bridge since this rather understated and highly listenable first solo album by Steve Howe made its inconspicious debut back in 1975. I always reach back for this album and THE STEVE HOWE ALBUM. Mostly by instinct.But this is where it all began...
Is the review positive or negative?
