| At some point, we become disillusioned by our heroes and stopped buying their albums automatically on release (especially when younger and vinyl was expensive). At which point did this happen with Yes (if, at all)? |

I actually bought the last two - I like Fly From Here but the last one I can take or leave. |

I voted Union...but then remember I actually bought Fly From Here on or soon after release. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| I would say it was after Drama. I did not enjoy the Trebor Rabin era very much, but when the classic line-up returned, I was into them again. I would wait a while if they release another album though, maybe until I hear it or get a go from a reliable source. |

Refuse to buy Big Generator (if I see it used for cheap, maybe). Odd album with an even odder title. Not crazy about what's his name on guitar. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

I have found Big Generator very poor, but Union was released after ABW&H which I liked, so I went for Union and despite what Rick Wakeman things, I have liked it too. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

Yes albums always turned up interesting listening. Until Heaven And Earth. What a waste of a good title. Admittedly some rough moments. Yesshows. Confused album of good songs, Tormato (Except that kiddie bit in Circus). Took a while for Drama to have effect. ABWH seemed a bit insipid (sounds like Sabbath compared to Heave and Earth though) but the live release was fine. Fly From Here was a surprise, Benoit David was original and rather good. Shame he could not hack the pace -- even more respect for JA. Still some fine live albums and DVDs. |

I almost stopped after "Open Your Eyes". That was the only album I found every bit as useless as 80s Genesis. Yet they got better. The "Keys To Ascension" studio tracks are not bad, "The Ladder" and "Magnification" have some very good moments. Even the last two have some value. However, I can not bring myself to attend any concerts by the current lineup. Squire's passing cemented that. If they bring back Jon Anderson, I might consider it.
------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

I was born a year after Big Generator came out, so yeah. I've bought every Yes record to date...but the only ones on release day have been stuff from 2008 on. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |
