Agreed.  

I've noticed that numerous posters on Facebook Notes From The Edge agree with me that the new Yes material is highly reminiscent of Starcastle.   

How the mighty have fallen.  I've had to drown my woes in my new CD of "Tales."   Interesting remix, the ambient beginning to "Revealing Science of God" is a nice change, although I think I prefer the original.

I don't hate it, but nor am I excited about it.

Sounds actually kinda... Good. I didn't think I'd be saying that about an album put out in 2011 by a band from the 70s

The mixed reactions here are throwing me off. I don't like listening to samples from new albums, but I may have to, to see how I feel about this music Angry

"radio edit" - does anyone listen to radio besides me?  Even at that, I don't listen to much music on radio, in Chicago, it is a mix of Led Zepplin, Journey, Styx, and other AOR all the time.  Quite boring for the most part.

Not particularly excited about it from that sample.  The comparisons to Drama are apt, but, like lazland, it's not an album I'm especially partial to.

Meh, at first listen, it reminds me of Starcastle.  


No way!  This sample positively exudes Drama.

I am very much excited.

That isn't Benoit David singing, is it?   

Go to iTunes and listen to the remaining samples.  I thought Drama was decent, but not more than that.  

I readily admit I was overcritical of Drama in my review, and i really should up my rating.

It's not a one star album, but, even saying this, I would only give it two stars. I really, genuinely, do not like it, and the only reason I'll get this new one is for the sake of a complete record collection, something I rather resent.


I just read your review- wow!  I think Drama is an excellent album.  I have fond memories of sitting in my dingy little apartment in Georgia in the cold weather and just enjoying the chilly atmosphere of "Run Through the Light" or the positive groove of "Tempus Fugit."  Smile

I think it's about the only album we have had a serious disagreement on in terms of ratingsSmile

It actually reminds me a lot of Moth Vellum. And since Moth Vellum broke up without recording a follow up to their fantastic debut, I think I'll find a lot to enjoy on this album with the right mindset.

Why is the opening epic split into 6 tracks :(
Otherwise sounds like it could be a decent album

I don't know if it's normal, but I can't listen to the full track. So, it would be hard to tell anything about this sample.

I found samples for all songs on the iTunes store.  I'm looking forward to comments, this is not one I'm going to buy.
