Yes releases excerpt from new album

Thanks Michael---that was great ---it's a real cool song---(also love OTSWOF video after) ----wish there was a little more love for the new album--because it is a real good record. Michael 

They released two singles, Believe again and In a world of our own--on itunes and Spodify---Spodify doesn't have anything that itunes doesn't have.

Seems weaker but I need to take time to completely get in it. I can only see 2 tracks on Spotify, Believe Again and In a World of Our Own. Is it different where you are? I see all the tracks, but they're in grey (which means they're not available yet), except for the two mentioned above. Are you a Premium user ?

Thanks for sharing.

I like it at least as much as FFH and maybe a little more. Plenty of earworms in a lot of the songs. And it is richer than a AOR yeswest sound---it actually has some alternative sounding moments at least to my ears. Guess I've come to expect to only really enjoy about a third of Yes releases, feel lukewarm about a third and not into a third---been true since 1977

Yeah, that's kind of the way I enjoy Yes albums too (and actually from many other bands). Except for Fragile and CttE, there are only a few songs I really love from their albums, but those are such great songs that it makes worth getting the albums.
