I'm interested in hearing the whole album. It may just as well be good, but it sounds a bit patchy in the video posted here (obviously, since it's incomplete bits of many songs). I'm glad to hear Bonoit singing rather nicely, just as I hoped him to sound better doing his own new songs instead of those originally sung by Anderson. Still, he is obviously no Anderson, I think there just won't be another one like him.

Why is everyone so surprised that the samples turned out to be good? You still have Squire and Howe writing in there! and Downess is an amazing performer as well! (+ Benoit David is not bad at all...)

From what I heard it sounds more like YES than, thank goodness, the Rabin-esque pop/AOR Yes. I've been disappointed too many times by Yes over the last 30 years that I have no expectations.

The more god Howe is on the album the more it will sound like a real Yes album---and less like a group trying to sound like Yes---

The only positive thing that I can say about Downes is that I prefer him to Oliver Wakeman. As for the others (including Benoit) I have positive expectations.

Really agree with the first statement---where there is Howe---there is Yes---and BTW with all the negative things Jon A has said about Yes west over the past 25 years and forming ABWH to get away from that sound---the fact that he's now all positive about making music with Rabin again may be the real going for the brass ring one more time. Having said that---I still wish Jon was on the new Yes album, but the guys are now able to express themselves more freely without Jon taking over the project totally and completely (with only partial success here and there) like he has for many years.

Whilst the samples sound better than I expected them to, I'm not sure this will be anything particularly special. It all sounds a bit too safe and mid-tempo for my liking. Mind you, they're only samples so I'll try to reserve judgement for the time being.

Drama didn't have Anderson. I like Drama.

Absolutely ! DRAMA is the most underrated YES album, it's one of their classics, despite it was 1980, no Rick and no Jon, it's strange but it's more YES than all the other albums released since 90125 on.
