OPEN YOUR EYES

I really try to never give zero star reviews, but this is one of those few albums that really deserves it--and I'm a huge Yes fan that has every Yes album! This is simply terrible. It's not Yes in any way, shape, or form. Even Yes during their "pop" phase kept interesting playing and a prog tune or two on each album. This actually sounds more like a Billy Sherwood solo album with Jon Anderson singing than a Yes album. This disc will certainly appeal more to the people that like Yes for "90125" and "Big Generator," although both of those albums have both better songs and better progressive songs.The opener is a nice rock tune, but after that the album just goes track after track after track of uninspired music. There are few good melodies, little quality playing, and really no reason to give this CD the hour's worth of your life to listen to. Buy any other Yes album, but leave this one far behind.
