It's gonna suck. Why does anybody get excited about dinosaurs making mammalian music? Yes, of course is one of the best bands in the world regarding their classic era but why does anybody care now? It's a brand name! I love Steve How but he's not relevant by modern progressive standards If i'm wrong i'd be VERY HAPPY but my realistic expectations are that this WILL SUCK! My advice: retire the YES brand and create YES derivative like Soft Machine did Let's see YES REVISITED YES AFTER YES MACHINE YES NOT NO YES (but not what you want!) LOL

Uh, i think he has done more than Yes albums! Is he this desperate? I can only hope that the music is as good as the album cover! Like everyone else, i really WANT something good! May it be so!

There can never be enough of his works, is what I was implying. Also, money's money, and he probably knows that people will appreciate his drawings whether it adorns a stinker of an album or not. There's no downside to it.

Not surprised at all by the responses so far. When I saw this my first reaction was simply....WHY??? How could you ever include this album with the classic Yes catalog, I don't think you can.
I've never been a huge Steve Howe fan, he's too trebly for me but he fits with Yes always has. I can't say for sure this album will suck, there is a decent chance it will but these are accomplished musicians so I need to give them a chance. Could be labels are trying to send them a message too, no more Atlantic, ATCO but InsideOut is giving them a shot.

Yeah I have started doing this, but I don't think I managed to get though the first 2 tracks of Heaven and Earth, it felt like my life force was being sucked out of me!  At least the press release implies that they will attempt to do Prog this time, as it will have extended instrumental breaks and keep the traditional Yes tropes. That being said I think Heaven and Earth had both those things as well...but I want to be positive! I'm still hopeful they have another Magnification in them, which was a mostly solid set of songs plus 2-3 tracks that get close to the quality of their classic era.

There was a time when I would have pre-ordered this but not after Heaven & Earth and the recent Arc of Life effort. I'll give it a listen and see.

If I remmeber currectly, few years ago Allan White could'nt play drums. So its quite a suprise to see him on this new album.
I love Steve Howe... as a guitar player. He has a unique sound and technique. But as composer....... He has never been good at that (looking at his solo albums).

This is great news! I will definitely pre-order this. Some people will always complain no matter what the band does. Personally, I think that a studio albums is exactly what is needed after all of these live albums. A band that exclusively plays live and don’t create any new material is basically just a tribute band to themselves. It is only by creating new music that a band stays relevant. |

Anyone who has listened to Love Is or the new DBA album knows that this band has a good album in them. Will we get it? That's the question. Steve Howe producing this is actually encouraging - anyone but Roy Thomas Baker!!! Steve hated Heaven & Earth so don't expect a repeat...
We shall see. And hear. (And cry. Probably.)

I vote for the Wait & Hear kind of attitude. This will be the 3rd Yes album including orchestral arrangements (feeding the optimistic dog).

Of course no Jon Anderson. He's banned from the band.

YES have never made a bad album (in my opinion) and I'm confident The Quest will be up to the same high standards as the previous Heaven & Earth album, so I'll be sure to re-Quest it at my local HMV record store, if they're still open.

I can't imagine pre-ordering this album, unless they are only going to make like 2,000 or so but it's not being labeled Limited Release. I suspect it will be available readily, and the CD may end up being discounted by November.
Jon Anderson is the Voice of Yes, always will be. With Squire gone now it makes Jon even more important if they wanted to continue as Yes....I just have a hard time calling this lineup Yes.
