Topic: Yes - Related Recent Albums! Posted: February 09 2013 at 06:53 |
I have not heard the GH album but don't care for the rest so voted none. I am looking forward to a new Yes album with the GH singer. Would have voted for Mystery if it had been in the poll.

My favourite recent Yes-related release is Jon Anderson's Open, actually. When I listened to it side-by-side with Fly From Here, I could tell that when Yes kicked Jon out, he retained custody of the symphonic gene.

Couldn't agree more. Fly From Here may not be a trailblazer, but it's beautiful and extremely well-made album.

voting for Fly From Here found a new appreciation for it

Squackett, then Fly From Here, then Cor Cordium.

Only heard Fly from Here and Living Tree from this. I liked better Fly from Here, and for me it has got some new songs that will make it to my regular listening from the band... not bad at all, even if they are not so proggy, and if the whole albums isn't a masterpiece... they haven't achieved that since CttE anyway (in my opinion), even if they have come up with many unmissable songs since then. The Living Tree was OK, but very subdued. There are a pair of songs that I can imagine having been really great if they had been played, arraged, and augmented by the whole of Yes.

I don't know I would classify GH as a Yes clone; Yes are very diverse, dynamic and 3D and therefore impossible to clone, unless you clone a snapshot of one of their "personas". I can count at least 4 phases of Yes history that are unlike each other, or anything else. As for GH, they are more like a dedicated Tolkien tribute band :)

Possibly. I just think that it's funny because people label GH as a Yes clone, so seeing them in a Yes-related poll was funny.

Never mind. Davison is a current Yes member and that's it! It qualifies him to this poll as well as former Yes members.

Well, but if I would omit Glass Hammer accidentally, be sure that someone would have pointed out on it.

Sure, he has a vocal much more similar to Anderson, in addition he's also Jon. Looking forward to his eventual recordings with Yes!

I picked "Fly From Here", not quite a masterpiece, but still pleasant and genuine Yes album. Followed by Glass Hammer (very strong but somewhat long ) and Squackett (rather controversial album, but with some excellent moments).
