YES one of the rare dinos who knew how to convert to the sound of the 80s before being forced to, YES or the incredible metamorphosis! 1. Owner of a Lonely Heart so that's it, it's done, Rick gone, Steve too, rare not to see him, the BUGGLES carried out the perfect heist? While waiting for the 6'42'' video for 'Owner' to be worth its weight with its animal escapade-break, it feels like we're in 'Beyond the delirium' with all these animals... well Trevor pulls off his solo well, Chris we knows he's there and Jon sings like he was at his best... ah aha hahhahah, yes the break this electric, electronic riff, it's spinning all the time, yes the proguous grunt had difficulty accepting that this solo was just giant, in short a 'Matrix' clip before its time 2. Hold On with its aggressive riff, syncopated rhythm, heavy keyboard keys; yes YES is no longer the same, the choirs no longer have the same value, short pieces for them, but yes I write but... a concentration of catchy notes and a chorus that takes you away, guides you, puts it there in this new musical space, to avoid suffering the loss of the dinos; ah, a cappella or almost Jon is having fun, vocoder or not! It's heavy, heavier and less fresh than an ASIA where we find, almost by chance, the great Steve, yes 3. It Can Happen with a Dipak who plays the sitar, with Jon surrounded for the most part by his new acolytes for... swirling voices; it seems consensual yes but the rise and Tony's synths give relief; a new group has just given birth to avoid the overly long titles of the 80s 4. Changes.. intro, ah this sound, these metronomic notes, ah this two-step intro, ah that's prog, stamped new prog; ah this riff which will hit the band's mark, how did they dare to incorporate hard music into their music when prog prided itself on not needing violence in their music? nay and KING CRIMSON and GENESIS for this wonderful 'The knife' isn't it hard sometimes? In short, change...ah this crystalline guitar solo, slide or not, airy or not, worthy and it starts again with a strafing from Alan; With time, everything goes away but this album and this riff in particular will guide me to look for metal in prog to find DREAM THEATER a few years later, a little thanks to YES in the end, yes we have to change, evolve and not stay in the vintage 70s, a sign of decline 5. Cinema yes a real intro, in order to listen to it for what it represents... quite simply a rise towards the Altman and the transition to 6. Leave It a cappella, proof that the voice must be taken above all as an instrument; the title which made me love the voices, me who only expected one solo per title before; a singular style exercise; 4 minutes and it finally rises I would say with a remarkable tone, well anyway my legs don't stop moving, a sign that the groove is of good quality, let's continue 7. Our Song synth ok, drums yes, bass as usual, the riff that does almost everything; fruity and catchy pop rock; no more endless chords, no more complex and circumflex breaks, no more flights of keyboards inside the church, our song now is to make music with a variation of notes and cheerful sounds to be heard by no more people, ok!! 8. City of Love an angelic choir on a dark and animal bass riff, the riff becomes the main source of this title; male backing vocals and riff picks up; it's much more metallic, much more rhythmic, the legs haven't stopped since earlier, I'm starting to see smoke under my little toes; the difficult solo, complicated, short and the riff picks up; the keyboard bordering on new wave, ethereal and airy... ah ah, the solo again no yes, no yes the pads get involved; a little more and you'd think you were in a hard band, and the riff again and again and... again, madness for those who didn't know YES, it's almost better than the 1st ASIA 9. Hearts let's go towards Japanese land; on a world sound of the archangel; again Alan hitting you, again Jon chopping up his text, latency; the choirs take on a warm, Gregorian orientation; an explosive pad and the chorus arrives, with Jon who heart, who talks, who loves it... go solo from Trevor who dominates the atmosphere on a modern solo, very 80's, well standardized, well typified; Jon again and the finale; the keyboard like in the good old days, the guitar riff behind it, it rises, it vibrates, it rises to a crescendo and it takes you up to Olympus, that's good, Jon's last words are addressed to it.
