I can imagine that! YES are one of my all-time favourite bands too, but I wonder if anyone will ever say "I love all five Billy Sherwood albums." No, I already know the answer to that. Tongue

Underrated album. Very entertaining throughout. I still haven’t heard Union or Open Your Eyes, but I’m inclined to say that every Yes album is worth having.

Not great. I'll rate it 2.75 stars. Paul, your enthusiasm gets 4.25.
 
Thanks. I heard Talk from other Yes fans that Talk was a really good album, and I wasn't disappointed when I heard the album for the first time just a few days ago. Talk has now gained the Keys to Ascension into my Top 7 Yes albums list and it's Close to the Edge of being my favourite Yes album, just underneath The Ladder. Smile

^ Yes, the Talk album was recorded, mixed & produced by Trevor Rabin at his home studio in Los Angeles.

^ even if you did buy back your old cd its all for a good cause, eh Paul Wink

Wasn't 'Talk' more of a Trevor Rabin project? I think he played lots of the instruments (Guitars, Keyboards and backing vocals, percussion) and the rest just added their parts? I seem to remember reading that it just happened that way out of circumstance rather than planning? Not sure, might be talking nonsense again..Embarrassed

I like Talk.. there are bits I love and it is a different animal to any of the other Yes albums ever made but somehow for me it occasionally lacks something.. a bit of spark? Not sure.. It kicks off with a great track and ends with a great track but just sags a little in the middle..

It wasn't the same charity shop, but it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that I've bought back my own CD. I'm just hoping I'll enjoy listening to ELP's debut again more than I did the first time around. Smile

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of ELP. I bought the Love Beach album because I liked the cover, but I gave the album away because the music didn't live up to the promise of the album cover. Smile
 


Still, if you can, give Black Moon a listen. It doesn't sound like your typical ELP... actually, if you only knew ELP for their classic albums, and heard this one without knowing it was them, you might not even notice. And if you like the way Talk was made, you might just as well like the other (actually, aside from Endless Dream, I think Black Moon is a better album, and I much prefer Yes over ELP).

I love Endless Dream, easily my favourite song from the West line-up, and just as good as anything they did in their peak. However, I don't really care for the rest of the album... if I want some Rabin sounding Yes songs, then it's mostly Owner of a Lonely Heart and Hold on what I will be wanting to hear.

I really like "I Am Waiting", the best song of the Rabin-era imo and the rest of the album is good. Not a five star album in any way compared to earlier ones but I'd probably place it in the 3.5 to 4 star bracket.

The more I listen to the Talk album, the more I like it. I initially gave it four stars but I've now upgraded it to a full five stars and second only to The Ladder in my Top 7 list of Yes albums. Smile

Oh well, C'est la Vie, as we say in England. I suppose a sea of boredom is better than a whole Topographic Ocean of boredom though. Smile


Right you are, I promise I'll stop being such a sourpuss in your Yes threads from now on LOL
You're not a sourpuss. Life would soon get dull and boring here if we all liked the same albums. Smile
