(Two and a half stars, really.)

What I hear in the music of "Talk" is TREVOR RABIN's gambit to (finally) create some actual prog music, and while he doesn't fail at it really, Other than that JON's voice is still here, this is not a YES album in any way at all. This is actually a strong album, with a definite cohesion and atmosphere about it, but it's downfall is that a lot of it it is quite bland, and again that it is by No means any kind of a YES album.

The strong points are the beautifully emotive "I am Wating" and the redeeming moment of the entire RABIN era of YES, the beautiful epic title piece, "Talk" which manages to almost rival some of the band's classic, truely progressive work while not actually recalling any of it. Lovely emotional moments, but it's missing complexity and musical ingenuity that would make it truely progressive and link it to the band's revered classic work.
