THE REVIEW

Eh, I know, we really didn't digest this album, but today, as it reaches the age of Christ and with Christmas approaching, maybe we can finally say it was a great album.

I bought it when I returned from vacation, when grandmothers and uncles would give me something that I would immediately spend to bring home some vinyl and listen to it until it was worn out.

The most battered of all was Zenyatta Mondatta, which in the Police's intentions was supposed to start with a short keyboard intro, while my copy resembled more of a battlefield complete with explosions, bombings, and anti-aircraft missiles.

So, 90125 (but why is the cover black?) arrives in '83 after the experience with the Buggles, Steve Howe out, another virtuoso in (Trevor Rabin), Tony Kaye returns (joy and excitement), Anderson quickly picked up joins the ever-present Squire and White.

The sound is powerful and precise, Rabin reigns supreme, White is strong and incisive like never before, the tracks are practically perfect, made imaginative only by Jon's crystalline voice.

The title track is a tremendous success, but the rest of the album also holds up splendidly, built on the sounds of that time with great harmony.

Nothing is really missing, yet, Eh but Wakeman, but the gates of delirium... we're in the '80s, let's not forget!

Personally, I hadn't listened to it in a long time (see Zenyatta Mondatta), but a few days ago I repurchased it at a market in CD form, and it was just like finding an old friend.

There is also a beautiful and unmissable live version.

33 years have passed, and in great shape.

Hold On Hold On

Oh Yes
