  Asia - Astra Review
Review created: 03/08/09

This is in my opinion the best cd from Asia. The only drawback is that it only has 10 songs but that was normal in the 80's before mp3's. Every song is great, including the meaningful lyrics, which are by the way included in the insert. I recommend this cd to all who grew up in the 80's and for all others so they can taste good music. playing the cd twice will leave on hooked on it. Asia Alpha is the only other Asia cd that competes with this one for #1.

  Asia - Astra (Third studio album)
Review created: 10/09/08

The third studio album by this British rock group called ASIA is actually very pleasant to listen to. It did not sell fifteen million copies worldwide like the self-titled debut album, which was released in 1982, but overall, ASTRA has many great songs, mainly "Go", "Rock and Roll Dream" and "Love Now Til Eternity" as being my favorites. ASTRA has been considered a commercial failure even though a million copies of the album have been sold worldwide. I highly recommend this CD if you're into symphonic, art Rock.

  Big pomp/AOR sound, small commercial dividends
Review created: 03/11/06

The darkest of the three Asia albums with Wetton. Sorry, but chilly cold war nuclear visions ("Countdown to Zero" and "After the War") can't offset the sprightly optimism of "Love Now Till Eternity". This album tanked big time and it's almost as if the band saw it coming with tracks like "Rock & Roll Dream" and "Too Late". Having said that, the huge wall of production is still there and tracks like "Voice of America", "Go" and "Wishing" are among Asia's finest ever.
