I like all of them except 'Open your eyes', to me only the first two tracks are any good and even then I prefer the Conspiracy version of 'Open your eyes' hidden on their first CD, much better. I think 'Talk' is criminally underrated, so many good songs on there. however the two KTA albums are obviously the standouts, I went for II because I love the song 'Mind drive'. |

| I voted for 'Talk'. It has a true Yes epic on it called 'Endless Deam'. To be honest, I don't like any of the studio songs on 'Key's to Ascension'. I think they are poorly produced and 'Mind Drive' is average at best. The only studio song that had potential was 'That, That is' and with a bit more development could have been a Yes classic! |

Well, I have only Keys 1 and it's a really good album IMO  but live songs are better than new studio tracks... Siberian Khatru, The Revealing... are fantastic, but AWAKEN is the best track I have heard in my life so far... It really took my   ------------- Pablo P. |

I haven't heard the Keys To Ascension albums, but out of the rest, Union. The fact that it was the first full Yes album I owned might be a big factor ... basically I got Union, then most of the albums from Yes to Drama, then only heard the 80s and 90s albums, which might explain why Union is my favourite post-Drama albums (it didn't have the pressure of expectation ...) ------------- "Death to Utopia!

Keys 2!!!! The studio tracks are much better than Keys 1. Mind Drive is the best track since Awaken. You mispelled one of those albums: It should read Close Your Ears. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| I would unite Keys I and II into one album and that's my fav. |

Difficult task. The music on each of these albums is very terrible to my ears. I bought some of them inspired by their very beautiful covers by Roger Dean, but... Luckily there's lots of people, who get nice addition to their day from these. I get it from their early 70's albums.

The Ladder is pretty good.

I enjoyed The Ladder, it was continuously upbeat and had some very nice Squire bass lines on it. The only thing I didn't enjoy on it was Igor Khoroshev technoesque beat on Lightning Strikes, but I could live with his sub-par keyboard playing (compared to Yes veterans like Wakeman and Moraz) and still enjoyed the album thuroughly. ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years.

The ladder is the best 90's album followed by Key 2.

I have Close to the edge and relayer, how do these albums stack up against yes's prog classics? |

I see that no-one likes "Open Your Eyes".
I think that it possess the BEST 90s Yes Song (the title track) and then in the end it's very very strange and intriguing (Fortuneteller is good also and also Man In The Moon). I don't disdain Talk (Endless Dream is very good, but also Walls and State Of Play) and The Ladder (though it has less charisma than the others), but I think that Open Your Eyes has much more under the hood than meets the ears. ------------- Semm che, semm che settà giò in del bar / a cercà l'universo nel bucèer del Cynar cosmonauti al tavolino cun la sigareta in bùca / che vemm a cambià el mund apena finissum la sambuca |
