THE YES ALBUM

My very first Yes Album, and of couse, my favourite one. The Yes Album starts with "Yours Is No Disgrace", which is one of the strongest Yes's songs. It starts with a nice intro played by Howe & Bruford. Then comes the keyboards smoothly, and then it begins to roll. This is very groovy song and lasts for almost 10 minutes. No boring spots and incredible entertaining song.

Then comes "The Clap", this is not very Yes style song but very happy one. I think Howe was in a bar at the time he got the idea of this. 3 minutes is a pretty long time for a guitar session but I can take it because of the next song.

"Starship Trooper", one of my favourite Yessongs. Anderson's vocals are incredible, so beautiful. The song is actually not very professional, it rolls the same melodies for a very long time, but I still love it (mostly because of the vocals and the nice drums).

"I've Seen All Good People", starts with an al cappella sung by Jon Anderson and Squire (I think). And then Howe starts with a guitar intro and then, ah, Anderson's vocals again. This song would be amazing even without instruments.

"A Venture", this is one of my leastplayed Yessongs. This could have been in a Beatle-album, I can only imagine how Mr. McCartney would sing in here. Nice song here in the end, before the great ending.

"Perpetual Change", which ends this truly awesome album. Starts with a beautiful intro, such as in Yours is no disgrace. Vocals next, stunning, as always and then comes the same ol' riff again. It's hard to know how Yes could create such beautiful melodies that I want to listen to them again and again.

In overall this album is one of the most entertaining albums ever. It's hard to call it a masterpiece, but It's definetly worth of five stars in my scale. I love it, you could too.
