I'm not saying that anyone is better than anyone else.I just dont like ABWH that mucho.

I have to confess something: I bought ABWH when it came out. I give it a first listen, but when  from the speakers began to flow a thing that remember me a stell band, i said to myself "esta vaina se jodió", removed the record from the turntable and storaged it on the shelf, where it lays from that moment to the eternity.
Please forgive me for my crappy english!

I don't think that Yes have a worst or a good album. All of them in my view are amaizing and just because one album is different or possibly similar to another doesn't mean it is bad!

Yes some songs are better than others but they are all good and they shouldn't be bad mouthed.

Well....I am going to disagree with both of you. I like elements of all the above so called crap albums. I especially like the 2 Disc version of "Magnification" - In fact I really can't think of a "Yes" album that I totally hate.

I agree, except Tormato and Magnification aren't all that bad. OK, at least Tormato. I bought Union (used, thank goodness) when I first got into Yes- partially lured by the awesome cover . I eventually sold it back a while after to the place I got it from.

No no no, they are all great, especially Magnification is !the best Yes album ever!

Vlado... have you actually HEARD Open Your Eyes or Union?! You sound like someone in denial.

Of course i have. I like open your eyes very much, Union less, but it is lucky album in terms they united again. The yes music is close to my heart, i understand it, and I do not mind some shortcomings if any

...and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make...

yes, ABWH is one of their best!! It continues where Going for the One stopped! (and one song is co-written with Vangelis...)

But maybe Talk is also not very good...

Strike off Magnification from the list and parts of Tormato, but here I'm heading into those dire Aor Rabin days Magnification could have been a great Yes album which leaves me with the hope that this line up can write a great new album.As for the criticisers of ABWH album - open your ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree totally, wanted to write the same, including the part about getting rid of Union (I gave it away, twice, oh foolish me to buy it three times)
