Yeah!
Why buy a Genesis album wothout Peter Gabriel or Steve Hackett? A Marillion album without Fish? A Spock's Beard album without Neal Morse?
Preposterous!

I'm most likely going to be getting the new album too, it's just not going to seem right without Jon at the helm.
I am kind of excited to hear what they come up with as well.
It might be pretty good. After all, Chris Squire is the bassist...

Let's hope it's a good one. It is the case that a lot of 90125 had been written and laid down prior to Anderson rejoining the fold, and if the new one is half as good, it will be a decent album. It might have been better, BTW, if they had stuck to the name Cinema back then?

If they hadn't gone by the name Yes, I wouldn't have grown interested in their back catalogue, never would have discovered Relayer, Drama, Close to the Edge, Tales, Yes Album, or Fragile, and might never have got into prog.
Thank God yes "tarnished" their name by giving the new band the same name as the old band.

YES SIGNS NEW WORLDWIDE RECORDING DEAL WITH FRONTIERS RECORDS:
New Studio CD, First In Nearly A Decade, Slated For 2011 / Grammy Award winners Yes, one of the most influential and ground-breaking progressive rock 'n' roll bands, today announced the signing of a new worldwide recording deal with the Italian-based record label, Frontiers Records. Songs such as “Roundabout”, “I've Seen All Good People”, “Owner Of A Lonely Heart”, and countless others, have served to place the group upon the pantheon of rock 'n' roll history. But history is still, yet to be written, because Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White, along with Oliver Wakeman (Rick Wakeman's son) and new lead singer Benoit David, will enter the studio to record the group's first new CD in a decade. It is anticipated for release before Summer 2011.
Frontiers Records President, Serafino Perugino said: “I am truly honored and excited to have these Rock and Roll pioneers on the label. Yes have written some fabulous pages in the history of this music and I look forward to keep on writing new exciting chapters with them!”
“Having the two new guys in the line-up has inspired the impetus behind the need for Yes to return to the studio” explains Chris Squire, while Steve Howe adds “The new lineup has shown that we can operate well as a touring band, so now to expand that to recording would broaden our repertoire and the inclusion of Oliver and Benoit on new recordings will show a new leaf in YES music's continuing development.”
One of the most popular concert attractions of all-time Yes's remarkable career has served to re-define the boundaries of rock. Proving to be a dominant force, for more than four decades, YES has sold over 33 million albums worldwide. Their symphonic use of sound and innovative musical style has made each of the group's players are virtuosos in their own right.

Meh! Yes should have brought in their understudy band, "Fragile." I think Steve Carney is much better than Benoit David. You tell me....

I truly hope this isn't a big mistake. I'm still resentful of Howe and crew for doing what they did to Anderson. But if the result is a really good album (which hasn't happened for them in ages, in my opinion), I'll gladly eat my words. Benoit is no Jon, though. Sorry.
