In the final (probably) part of our Wakeman(men) series, Mark and I review Rick’s latest album, Return to the Red Planet.
I am on leave from work today so I’ve no time to look at the news. Do visit the YMP Facebook Discussion for all the current ‘goss’.
- How does this album compare with The Red Planet?
- What do the vocals add?
- Is it a decent album in its own right?
Let us know your own thoughts by commenting in the comments below.

One reply on “Return to the Red Planet by Rick Wakeman – 745”
Echoing Mark’s positive comments, I give this album an 8 out of 10. I gave The Red Planet a 9 of 10 when it came out in 2020. Some wonderful playing, singing, arrangements and production here. And another 3D pop-up for some sleeve versions is nice, as it was on the original 6 years ago.
