Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released on August 22, 1980, 'Drama' marked a significant transition for Yes as it was their first album after the departure of key members Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman. With Trevor Horn stepping in as lead vocalist and producer, the band's sound evolved toward a more modern and experimental approach, setting the stage for their continued relevance in the changing musical landscape of the early '80s.
