Yes

Symphonic Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This is 'Yes by numbers'. It contains elements of the 'Yes' sound, such as a strong bass sound, 'Anderson-like' vocals, but it sounds like a pale imitation of the real thing. It's nine minutes long and never really says anything - it meanders. There's no strong melody, it sounds poppy and weak. Yuck! Steve Howe is now the only original member of the band that made all the classic albums of the seventies, and it shows. No doubt there are good musicians here, but the music is horrible. Perhaps AI wrote it.

Please stop denigrating the name of 'Yes' with this terrible material - call it a day, guys, for all our sakes.

It lacks energy, magic, creative wit, breadth. It sounds hollow. For the last ten years I have been hoping Howe's Yes would surprise me, and every time I am sorry to see that they go even further astray. I would like the interested reader to check out 1000 Hands as a comparison. I do not say this to champion team Anderson (whatever that means: I know little of their situation and arguments are childish anyway--let's focus on the music alone). You will hear a record that wants to dare, explore, go beyond what was done before, and create with joy dreamy melodies for the present. In comparison, "All connected" is a dull and recycled nightmare from the past.
