HEAVEN & EARTH

There is nothing particularly wrong about this album, all the key elements that had make Yes the best (prog) Rock band ever, are still here but displayed softer, slower and quieter. Howe is in very fine form, and that is enough to make a very good Yes Album. If you are an Anderson's widow, you should be surprised to listen to a young Jon Anderson clone singing lead vocals here. A priori, the only daunting thing is the involvement of Billy Sherwood but, thankfully, his presence doesn't spoil the overall effort, wich is miles away from the shame that Open Your Eyes was.

Not a Masterpiece, although a very nice listening experience.
