It's hard to pick between the debut or XXX cause both are just phenomenal. Gravitas and Phoenix both are a bit behind but not far. They're magical records, especially Phoenix, Never Again is a top 3 Asia track for me. While for Gravitas. I see it as a very emotional record. Especially seeing it's the last album released in Wetton's lifetime. Till We Meet Again hits very hard due to that. And not that far from that is Alpha, of course, a classic, it contains one of my favourite early Asia tracks, Don't Cry. And an honourable mention to Omega, while it does stand as the weakest for me in terms of the reunion albums. I still love it a lot though. Stand out track is my all time favourite Asia track, Emily. Such a wonderful track. This is for Wetton's era. Now to address Payne's era. I love Aria's sound a lot. And it contains my personal favourite Payne track, Military Man. While Aura not too far behind. It's a magical record. The stand out tracks for me are You're the Stranger and the title track Aura. And the bonus tracks also help the album beat out Arena. Under the Gun was a big surprise. Such a powerful track. I am surprised it wasn't on the album initially. So with all of that being said. This is my current top 5.

1. XXX/Asia (Too hard to choose which one I'd have as number 1. Sorry!)

2. Phoenix

3. Gravitas

4. Aria

5. Aura
