THE YES ALBUM

I find it interesting that Speakerfish in the previous review hit on something that I always liked about this Album. It sounds raw, yet warm and personal. It almost seems like a live recording even though some of the dub edits are clearly audible. This is my 2nd favorite album by Yes after Going for the One. Yours Is No Disgrace is an amazing song. I have seen some reviews that discount A Venture, but I even like that as much or better than perpetual change. It's one of the few songs where Jon Andersons lyrics are almost in regular story mode instead of the usual abstract mysticism.

I decided to review this after listening to the actual record this weekend when a friend came over and said he hadn't heard anything other than All Good People. That song is so over-played that even I am tired of it. But, the rest of record still holds my attention completely.
