too heavily weighted ratings ? its outrageous

the best thing about my review..... rereading it.. .it does suck..

Anyway.. 1 star...

for eccentric Yes fans and those who are supremely open-minded. Those who are, might actually enjoy pulling this out occasionally. I do. Probably the most enjoyable 1 star album I'll ever review

turning this into the Yes Remixes appreciation thread.. .and thinking about an edit of my poor review.. not the rating.. but really didn't make a good attempt to describe the music.

No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed...

SMOKES the original album version....

oh man....  I never met a pool table or bar counter I didn't like....  I used to be a dancing fool . Micky's got rhythm brother...  some of you grew up with prog....  I grew up with motown.  My mom was nuts about it.  The reason I picked up the bass as a kid.  James Jamerson is my idol.

^ wait till you hear Soundchaser.....on now... and  waiting for the knock on the door telling me to turn that sh*t down....


frickin killer....  who would have thought you could dance to Soundchaser..

hahahha..

Yes...... Yes..... Yes..... Yes...... Yes...... Yes


god I love Tempus Fugit... and can shake my ass to it

Ah, the power of a 1-star review

Best 1 star album I've ever bought hahahha  I love the album, but for all the wrong reasons, I'd give it 4 stars as a techno album - I just can't see it as a Yes Greatest Hits album.   Crossover? By definition yes, by execution, no.

I'd have given it 5 stars... what techno album has Chris Squires bitchin bass lines .  I need to put that in... haven't listened to it since I reviewed it actually.  No wait...  I did put it in just to hear Soundchaser a couple of months ago.

as far as the album.... it is a Yes album... their performances...  remixed by someone else....  not another artist performing the music. It belongs under Yes.  To simplify...  no different than if one of the group members did a remix of it.... would that album then been moved to Steve Howe's ... or Chris Squire's discography if they had been the one's to do it.

Just say no to Yes compilations.

While you were probably sleeping, we were checking 519 Symphonic bands one by one, despite all we wanted is going to bed.   I already told it, I don't want my voice to be heavy. I only don't like when someone's not well-thought voice is heavier than mine (The Doors reviews example).   And Ivan, I have the feeling that you are, not intentionally, lying to yourself. There is almost no sacrifice, we are here only because we love music, because it is interesting for us. We do it because we like to do it, isn't it? Though I agree that when you are working in a team you have some obligations, but I can't call it sacrifice.     To lower the degree of this discussion, I started kinda "Thank you" thread: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51719 Hope it will be supported by progheads.

checking that thread out.....  

as an aside to the quote there

however... I don't think Ivan is...  that is the thing NaPH.  Ivan used the word sacrifice... that conjures up images of leaving the kids crying and hungry while we add bands that no one here has heard or most likely will ever hear hahhah.  Sacrifice is the wrong word perhaps... for those like Ivan... and myself.. and others invest time here not out of sacrifice.. but out of a love of the music.. and the site... and see it as just more than a place to hang 10.  Do we sacrifice.. no... perhaps not.... but Ivan is right in that a LOT of time is invested here for the sake of the site to give everyone here the best place on the net to find and discuss prog.  That is why at times emotions get so carried away at times..... a lot of people have invested a lot of time here... and have strong views and emotions regarding the site.  Something the admins and M@X may or may not realize... we see this site as partly ours...  we have invested so much into it... without tangible reward, we don't ask for it, what we do take from it... for all the labor and time...  is an innate sense of cooperative ownership.
