Review

Record Collector (magazine) (p.82) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "PHOENIX is a smart mixture of epic rockers, power ballads and touching intimacy. At its core reside thoughtful reflections on love, vulnerability and mortality..."

Title Note

Asia (Rock): John Wetton (vocals, electric bass); Steve Howe (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, steel guitar); Geoff Downes (keyboards); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion).

The 1980s supergroup Asia, comprising members from prog rock heavyweights Yes, King Crimson, and E.L.P., softened prog's elaborate solos and upped its pop quotient, selling 15 million records in the process. Some 25 years after the band's heyday, the four original members of Asia released PHOENIX, a return to vintage musical form. In truth, the band's consistent command of popcraft and instrumental chops makes it sound as if very little time has passed. "Never Again," with its catchy chorus, recalls Asia classics like "The Heat of the Moment." "Alibis" and "An Extraordinary Life" are also highlights. Old-school fans may feel that it doesn't stacks up to Asia's 1982 debut, but PHOENIX does a surprisingly good job of peeling away the years.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Asia - Phoenix

Asia’s reunion release, Phoenix, stands as a comparable album to any of their 80’s efforts, with a twist of augmented maturity as we find them concentrating on writing full bodied melodious tunes rather than cracking off catchy hooks to suit the radio.

The beauty of this release maintaining the creative quality of the original Asia is that we’re provided with Phoenix, an album that will draw an original fan base. The people who grew up listening to John Wetton and Steve Howe will once again turn there attention to the aging rock stars if for no other reason then that they yearn for mirrored musical quality of there past youth.

Enjoying the dominating keys and wailing riffs that drew you to them originally is nothing less than rejuvenating. For those of you who thought they’d never see the likes of Asia again, from the ashes rises Phoenix.

Favorite Songs: “Shadow of a Doubt”, “Nothing’s Forever”, “Orchard of Mines”

5 out of 5 stars SO GOOD...... IT ACTUALLY HURTS!!!, May 1, 2008
By heatmizer
I have never wrote a review for an album before... but this is a must! This CD is SO good... it stings! The publicity this will lose for not getting air play is a crime! Although it has hit the charts in its first week ( all 3 charts at that ). These poor bastards are going to get robbed! I have read about 40 reviews for this album and only 2 nit-wits gave it lower then good (what they were listening to.... I have no idea). I can assure you... you will not be disappointed!
