We love when we play....
This one is just absolutely breathtaking in my opinion. Although, as of recent times the Ancient has been getting me more haha

The thing about Ancient is that nothing else in the Yes catalog sounds anything like it(imo). It's just so out there and is probably the closest they ever came to sounding like King Crimson(again imo).

I know that when I first tried to get into this album The ancient made sense enough for me to soldier on, and now I love the whole thing=Prog italian rum cake!

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Did TFTGO click really fast with anyone else? I feel like the whole album felt pretty natural for me the first listen through. It was just more Yes music. Maybe more than people were expecting (or even wanted), but all the music is excellent IMHO. |
Wouldn't say it clicked on first listen, per se, but I'd say it took me about as long as any other Yes album for me to get into. Didn't dislike it on the first listen and knew I wanted to hear it again. Then about 5 full listens before I considered it an album I liked, about 5 more listens before I considered it an album I loved, and about another 5 before I considered it a favourite. Certainly not a drawn-out, grueling task for me to get into; took the better part of a summer.

Ritual by a short margin - then RSOG , The Ancient (sublime guitar work), Last The remembering - but they are all better than most other bands best output - tales has got to be in the top five symphonic prog releases of all time - if somebody tells me that 90125/Abacab is better I'd fooking shoot them (metaphorically)! |
well said----Tales is a great work of prog---is every moment riveting? No but thats true of many 90 minute pieces of classical music or any music for that matter----I think the love version of Ritual is better than the studio----I think the opening with Howe and closing parts with Howe are beautiful guitar parts---but to me it is the most flawed side---Jon goes on and on---bass solo and drum solos are just ok----I actually like the Remembering as symphonic prog--it's more folky in parts ----the ending sends chills down my spine every time

If I remember right, I bought it 1990. Never listened it as much as those other Yes classic albums, but I think I really have listened it many times through these years and two times I have thought "this is absolutely great album as a whole". Both of those were after 2000. Mostly I think the first album is great, in the second there are moments I would want to put needle forward. But always listened it as a whole (as I do every album).
