90125

This is the WORST YES ALBUM IN THE BANDS HISTORY!!! I am being absolutely serious when I am saying this, and this is coming from a HUGE YES fan. With the absense of guitar master Steve Howe and keyboardist Rick Wakman, this change in lineup is one too many.

90125 is missing essential elements of YES... the complex themes in the music, the prophetic lyrics, and the overall feeling of astonishment that devoted fans feel when they finish a song is gone. It's all gone. I relied on YES to make me feel better, to feel loved, and I always thought people like Jon, Steve and Chris were touched by God. This album is a disgrace to everything YES, and the very first time I listened to it, I cried.

Infact, every album after the brilliant Going For the One is bad. Tormato and Drama were horrible as well, but 90125 goes a step further, and spits on the face of Fragile and Tales From Topographic Oceans. I am very, very sorry to inform other YES fans about this album, but if you truely want to do yourself a favor, steer clear from 90125. Only buy it if you absolutely have to have every single YES album ( like me).

Buy The Ladder or Magnification instead, both great new YES albums.
