THE YES ALBUM

The incorporation of Steve Howe in the replacement of Peter Banks in the guitars implied a substantial change in the musical proposal of Yes. It came later the consolidation with the incorporation of Rick Wakeman in the following work, Fragile.

Howe gives the Yes Album a new world of sounds and colors. The elaboration and complexity of the songs combine prolonged and intricate musical developments and reflections on life and its meaning at the hands of Jon Anderson.

Both the incomparable and extensive Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People as Perpetual Change, are inescapable pieces when it comes to recounting the best of Yes's discography. They are also still part of the band's live repertoires. The album's two moles are Clap, a display of Howe's virtuosity with an acoustic guitar master class in 3 minutes, and A Venture, also just over 3 minutes long, probably one of the most underrated songs of that stage.

Yes Album is one of the first supporting points on which the Yes legend is structured as primordial architects of progressive rock.
