YES - Big Generator (1987)

1) The original computer-graphics album cover for the LP was green and purple. For the CD, the cover was entirely different graphics with a yellow and pink color scheme.

2) I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that "Side 2" was originally intended to be a side-long, 22-minute suite. Since it was 1987, the record company immediately vetoed that idea, and insisted the band complete  the four movements, which became the four "Side 2" songs. The running order was supposed to be "Holy Lamb", "I'm Running", "Love Will Find a Way", and "Final Eyes", with brief, connecting links between the movements, sort of like Abbey Road's Side 2. The record company also demanded that "Love Will Find a Way" open the side because it was the album's first single. The band capitulated, and the suite idea was abandoned.

90125 had it's good moments including the pop oriented title track. But I listened to this album again, and for me, this hasn't gone down well. There is no single standout track and it feels like it belonged to the 80s for some reason. I am not sure if it's my least favorite Yes albums or not considering Open Your Eyes was even more cheesy.

The 80's in general was the story of steady decline. I reckon that post seventies everyone assumed progressive rock was dead but had no idea what should be put in its place. This must have been confusing to a lot of those guys who were in those bands and certainly Yes were no different. The 90's was bery much 'we want our rock back' Best band of the 80's? Iron Maiden no contest. They were actually listenable
