"'Waking Hours' is what many consider to be Del Amitri's true debut album.

"A Yes album in all but name - shame that there's no Chris Squire, but this is a hell of a lot better than the jarring car crash of 'Union'. The 80s weren't too kind to Yes, but bookended by this and Drama they just about survived the decade." Reply
