"Big Generator" is the sound of a disintegrating band that has completely lost its identity.

It's normal for Jon Anderson to jump ship after this album, since he delves into the wrong style and mistakes of the previous "90125" to offer us an unfunny AOR pastiche that doesn't even have the value of offering us a single by the size of Owner of a lonely heart.

Only noteworthy is the skill in Trevor Rabin's guitar solos, and the good bass lines of the always faithful (until his death) Chris Squire (the beginning of I'm Running is a good example)

What could you expect from an album with three songs with the word Love in their titles?

Best Tracks: Rhythm of Love (nice guitar solo) and Final Eyes (the only song that managed to replicate some of the magic that Yes had in the 70s, with nice vocal melodies from Anderson)

My rating: **
