TALK

Yes' Talk was the first album I ever heard from this group. And I have to say, this is a great album. Talk is an album that is quiet different from thier other stuff. But has plenty a moments to make it one of my absolute favorites of what I've heard. I haven't heard much from Yes, being mostly a prog metal freak. But Talk has always been an album I put in my CD collection when I go on trips as a must listen CD. It has some great tunes such as "Real Love", "The Calling", "State of Play, and many others.

This ten track album includes some great emotions to it. The last three tracks for example, Talk, is a great trio that sounds great. This album is also very entergetic and proves some excellent muscian mastery behind the scenes. Of course, we're talking about a very influencetail band. Bands such as Dream Theater, who happens to be very good, was influenced by these guys' highly melodic music and odd rythms. This album, to me, shows some of these great features that Yes has dished out, at least with the albums I own.

Songs, there are plenty of songs to enjoy on this album. "Real Love" is by far my personal favorite of all the songs Yes has released, also has some good heavy guitar around 4 mintues. Give it a listen! "The Calling" is also a great song that really kicks the album off into a good direction. "State of Play" is an incredible song that I absolutely love! "I am Waiting" is a good soft hit along with the great upbeat tune of "Walls". Now, the last three songs, taking on the epic title "talk" are great. The first and third are only about 2 minutes long while the second is 11 mintues. It's a great song that I listen to frequently. This album is full of great songs.

Over all, I'd have to say that Yes - Talk is an excellent album, and a great addition to your colleciton of Prog music. It's one of my favorites and was definetly worth the buy! Give the album a try, it's great.
