THE LADDER

Agreed with the previous review. There is plenty of good musicianship throughout, you cannot expect anything less from Yes, but alas, the inspiration is sadly lacking. It seems that they are just crunching out albums year after year for the sake of it - just going through the motions, perhaps out of contractual obligations. This album is totally forgettable, like many of its recent predecessors, sounding nothing like the Yes we know and love. I personally would not bother with anything released after the album Talk. Let's face it - they've lost it.
