UNION

Simple, this album is lack of improvisation and creation, it`s only the name of "Union" which makes us get interested of it, more history than music, i mean here we can see the re union of Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman in the band, besides of Alan White and Tony Kaye, so many members in a marvelous band trying to creat a new sound or new music, but sadly the album is not good. I think the most of the songs has the same poppish or 80`s style of music, and in fact this album has lots of songs which some of them sounds of course a bit proggy but is not the same, if im not wrong this is the Yes album with more quantity of songs , thats not bad when the songs are well done and keep us with the ear on them, but here it simply doesnt happen.

Repetitive sound, not so much creation, nothing new to offer, as the same level (or maybe a bit higher) than the Big Generator album, i could say honestly that these are the less attractive albums that Yes ever created, more if we focus on the expectative of the Union, in fact i have a DVD called Union Tour when they actually dont play but only one song of this CD, that`s a clear example of the unsuccesful movement.

And all those facts make me think that an album like this will never be a masterpiece or a worth addition, i dont like it, it has few but very few nice momets, for that im giving it 2 stars.
