HEAVEN & EARTH

Yes has been my favorite Band of all times, every time that i bought a CD i have been surprised how different it was from the previous Album, Yes never made 2 Fragiles, or 2 Close To Edge or 2 Tales, in the 80s gave us quality Pop Rock with 90125 and Big Generator album that barely can be called progressive from a purist point of view. Yes has never done the same album twice, and Heaven and Earth is not different. It is like no other Album that YES has created, recorded, performed. Yes it is a bit slow, but it is very enjoyable. It does not have Epics in it ( neither had 90125). I think Jon Davidson does a very good Job at Channeling Jon Anderson, in style and delivery, i have heard Jon D in the past and he has an uncanny resemblance to Jon Anderson. The Album is a bit Light on material, but at the sametime is refreshing, i am hearing a band that is flexible enough to do an almost pop Album, and at the same time see them in concert and watch them play the old Progressive Epics that we all love. I think Yes records the material that they have at the moment, sometimes it is Brilliant sometimes is just Good. The beauty of Yes is they always surprise you with every new Album.
