The Yes Album

I know this band. I've heard some of their tracks pretty chill psychedelic rock. Yeah, these guys are bad ass.

amazing instrumentals, but liked the parts where they sang more.

8.7/10 Yes is a cool band, I wouldn’t say I love them but man are they crazy talented musicians with such intricate & interesting music. when I’m in the mood to listen to them (usually fragile) they really hit but I’ll admit their songs do sound samey at times. Favorite song: I’ve seen all good people Least favorite: The clap

Great but not even their best, though some of their best songs are here and some of Steve Howe’s best playing to be found

shout out Matt Gubes for putting me on this shit as a 7 year old

33/1089 Hey, do you ever think "I would love to listen to some twiddly prog rock that is fun and funky but I really don't care enough to put on a 3 hour space opera with 30 minute long orchestral arrangements that consumes all your mental energy to listen to"? well have I got a 40 minute twiddly prog rock album that is fun and funky and not a pretentious epic slog for you. sometimes you just want a bunch of dudes noodling on a guitar for a bit.

Ur dr g g h

Este si me gustó. La voz se me hacia conocida, luego me di cuenta que el mismo grupo hizo una canción de un opening de jojos.

Surprisingly good. Starship trooper was great. The clap kind of sticks out like a sore thumb but it is class so no harm done

Very good, not too pretentious or grandeous like so many future prog albums including ones by this specific band. The songs while being big and adventurous, also focus on melody and not over-staying there welcome. Not to mention, killer instrumentation especially by guitarist Steve Howe. Favorite Yes album by far!- High 4 stars

Surprised by how into this I am. 3.5 rounded up.

The Phish of UK 70s rock

Vocals reminds me of CSN, musically very good, definitely something to come back to

Great, a iconic piece of rock history.

8 / 10

Very energetic, all over the place wild atmosphere, could dance to this album for hours

I can't believe I'm giving this four stars. A few years ago it would have been two. Look at me starting to appreciate some progressive rock!

This is very good, prog rock that aged very well. Not quite on the level of their next albums but still very good and listenable.

it sure sounds like yes

4/5

Enjoyable sections, nice variety and would listen again

Excellent album, the best Yes one so far.

Prog rock songs are too long to make it in my rotation, but I’m adding the single versions. I also really liked the variety of songs on the album. Loved your move. One of the first prog albums that I vibed with.

One really great song.

Prior to this, I’ve only heard “I’ve Seen All Good People” before. The tones and harmonies of the other songs are familiar and it’s like another few levels were unlocked. The whole album flew by and I enjoyed it thoroughly. 4.1/5.0

I love this album. So solid and unique from TtoB. Everytime I put it on I'm happy with the decision.

This album kicks off one of the best 3-album runs in rock history, Fragile and Close To The Edge to follow. I love this album, though it's nowhere near perfect. Sandwiching the hilariously misnamed "The Clap" (what a difference "the" makes!) between "Yours Is No Disgrace" and "Starship Trooper" may have made more sense back then, but it really breaks up the potential momentum of having those two back-to-back. And "A Venture" and "Perpetual Change" have their moments, but they're not at the same level of the rest of the album. Still, this is 4 stars for me.

I had already written that I like Yes, and that hasn't changed. As with some other artists (so far Frank Sinatra, Coldplay, Iron Maiden), however, I can't quite understand the exact selection of albums for the 1001 list. To my knowledge, “The Yes Album” represents the band's breakthrough and therefore, in my opinion, deserves to be on the list, although from today's perspective I would describe it as still a little immature: - Many typical Yes elements—especially the vocals—are already clearly recognizable here, but - the rhythm work is not yet as extremely tight as I remember it from later recordings, and - “Clap” is nice and somehow impressive, but doesn't really fit in with the other songs. All in all, it was a nice listening experience.

I liked this album a lot and will be adding them to frequently listened playlists. They are long but enjoyable- I’ll probably skip parts lol but what a funky (prog rock) vibe love it

Really liked this one.

Good choice, one pre- known song

Really enjoyed it and hearing it's echoes in later music.

Really enjoyed this, prog and some really interesting instrumentals. Really nice listen!

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Unpretentious prog rock. You can hear they are having fun. I found it quite a relaxing listen actually

It’s gonna be a low 4 for me and I’m excited for more Yes on the list

Very fun and energetic!! Nothing to write home about but lovely listening experience

Some bands just sound undeniably like themselves. Yes is like that for me, so far. Only song I really knew beforehand was Roundabout. I had a good experience listening. I'm feeling generous. I'll give a 4 :)

Wow! I'm not at all a Yes fan, but maybe I should be. I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could, but has to be 4, I guess. Great album!

The Yes Album is without a doubt the breakout album for Yes, who would quickly make a name for themselves as one of the most influential and forwarding prog bands of all time. The record is a little safer than the magically experimental places they'll go a year later in Close to the Edge, but that by no means detracts from its quality. Every track on The Yes Album is just undeniably infectious to a degree that very few prog artists have ever achieved. It draws the perfect line between the bluesier side of rock that was dominating popular music at the time and the less accessible prog that would spawn countless classic albums to us music nerds, but go mostly under-represented in the popular world. In this way, Yes is the everyman's prog band, pushing the boundaries of the genre while carrying a sound that was incredibly fun to anyone who knew the slightest bit about music, and I think The Yes Album is the perfect personification of that. It's no wonder that this album and Fragile would make plentiful appearances in pop culture well past their released dates. While it's not something I find myself putting on all that often, I can't help but recognize just how influential The Yes Album was in establishing prog's presence in the music world.

I knew a lot of these songs from the radio, and from some live performances. I enjoyed this a lot and I can see why Yes is a Prog GOAT.

Great album. The opening track is very strong and it doesn't let up. Early prog rock but very enjoyable.

Really good - showy but not too technical, super melodic and songwriting is there as well. There aren't any weak tracks but opener is a big stand out

Solid album with one absolute banger.

Honestly a great first prog rock album for people to "try out." There are flavors of Genesis, Rush, and even Pink Floyd in here, as well as enough uniqueness in Yes themselves that makes this a real treat (IMO) to listen to. I can acknowledge that there are better prog albums out there, so I don't think I can realistically give this a 5, but it's a damn solid 4.

Yours Is No Disgrace - 4/5 The Clap - 3/5 Starship Trooper - 5/5 I've Seen All Good People - 5/5 A Venture - 4/5 Perpetual Change - 5/5 Average score: 4.3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ i like this about as much as Fragile, if not slightly more. Close To The Edge is still my fav of theirs thus far, but there's a few great concepts here for such a short album. I'd say this is second-fav material

I've been aware of Yes for ages but never have their stuff a listen. Great stuff!

I liked this one much more than Fragile. Seems less meandering and more listener friendly. I will round up from 3.5 to four stars.

This is actually neater than I expected! My only real issue is it's sort of unlistenable outside of the album, but I did enjoy a good chunk of it.

Some parts of this blew me away with their progginess. On three occasions I had to rewind to re-experience the peak that had just happened: the opening riff on Yours Is No Disgrace; the ending part of Würms; and the panning effect at the 5min mark on Perpetual Change. The rest of the album is very good too, though a bit uneven -- there are certainly stretches where it meanders a tiny bit. Extremely solid record overall!!! Standouts: Yours Is No Disgrace • Starship Trooper: Life Seeker / Disillusion / Würm • Perpetual Change

This album was kind of insane. The instrumentals seemed more focused on being weird than on being good. I loved it Favorite Songs: Starship Trooper: a. Life Seeker, b. Disillusion, c. Wurm, Perpetual Change

Zuhause, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Nettes Album.

Its a 4 yes out of 5

Early prog rock ish, not baf

Yes' third album finds them putting all the pieces together and contains four titanic progressive rock songs that represent some of the best that the genre has to offer. The introduction of guitarist Steve Howe to the group was key for Yes' development as a band as his contributions keep the music constantly shifing and moving forward, but while still managing to keep everything firmly grounded in rock. Only two things hold this record back: one is the inclusion of two short songs, the fun-but-inconsequential solo guitar piece "Clap" and the trifling "A Venture", both of which do not benefit at all by placed in the company of the four monumental songs of this record. The other issue is that this record is very dry (reverb-wise) which does not suit the otherwise organic sound of these songs. (The next two studio albums, *Fragile* and *Close To The Edge*, are afflicted with the same problem; the subsequent live album *Yessongs* fortunately presents many of these songs with an ambience that benefits the songs better.)

# Playlist Track - I've Seen All Good People # Notes - A rich, interesting, moving album. - Taking a star out as there a few moments that drag way too long and take away from the journey. Wonderful transitions in the different parts of Starship Trooper and I've Seen All Good People.

i very much appreciate the musician-ship on this record, the writing and vocal melodies are where I have a problem. the space in between them gets kinda boring after a while. but i think this record is pretty good other wise. 7.5/10

Cool

I like prog rock, what can I say

Yes.

Jesus I took a huge break from this but trying to get back. Good album for my first one back.

Yes, no, maybe so, ask again later. Really only that first track is one I’d actively skip

Did I like it? YES

3.75

mi è piaciuto, nient'altro da dire

An album that’s coherent, creative, and a consistently compelling mash up of classical and modern styles - you keep hearing it long after you’ve stopped listening

this shit is TIGHT and I’ve Seen All Good People might have the best vocal melodies ever

While "Fragile" has higher highs and contains my literal favorite song of all time (guess which one) this is maybe the best Yes record front to back? Still has the bizarre sequencing issues of much early prog but absolutely honks.

At first I thought, "Yeah again?" But I get it. A nice experimental album.

Yes

I think I might actually be kind of a Yes fan. It feels like everything should go against that. I don't tend to like overly long songs with excessive soloing and I've never really thought of Prog as a genre that I like. But I'll be darned, I enjoyed listening to this. Prior to this the only song that I really knew was Roundabout (Thanks Rock Band 3), but I just found myself listening and enjoying, taking in the skill of the players and the lush vocal harmony. I'll probably go back and give this another listen at some point.

Vrhuuuuunski album, ne mogu vjerovati da mi je ovo promaknulo! Nisam slušala njihovu stariju diskografiju i jednostavno ne mogu vjerovati da je to iz isti Yes iz 80s. Prva stvar na ovom albumu mi definitivno ulazi u top 10 stvari po kvaliteti, baš jebena jebena stvar!! 4/5,8.5/10

In my high school there were not a few brown paper text book covers that were bedecked with renditions of the Yes logo. And, yes, it's a great logo. For some inexplicable reason the only Yes album I bought was Tormato. And I loved it. And I bought zero Yes albums after that. Didn't even indulge in the catalog. I was also stunned when my college roommate, who had such impeccable underground and cult tastes, and was responsible for my artistic awakening, turned out to be a Yes fan. So, here we go. Into the first Yes album that matters, apparently. It's 1971. We are just 16 years removed from "Rock Around the Clock". That hurts my brain to think about. 13 years prior to "The Clap", Chuck Berry was invigorating the world with his expansion of Sister Rosetta Tharp. And here is Steve Howe blowing people's minds in a pub. While listening to "Starship Troopers" I found myself thinking about Tom O'Horgan and Experimental Theater of the 70s. This suite would fit in perfectly into that world. Is "I've Seen All Good People" the proggiest folk song ever or the folkiest prog song? I can't tell. It still sounds fresh and interesting 55 years later. Well, maybe not fresh. But certainly interesting. Do I get a little weary towards the end? Yes. "Perpetual Change" was the one that did me in.

Have to be in the right mood - but great music with an adventurous angle.

Enjoyed this. It’s a wild ride!

I say Yes to this album - pretty decent!

A fun, classic rock romp. It gets exploratory and jazzy, at times, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. An enjoyable affair.

A entertaining and exciting prog rock album that manages to keep you hooked the whole way through with harmonized vocals and exciting instrumentation

Yes? Yes! Proving that a track less than 8 minute long just isn't worth the bother.

Surprisingly fun. All Good People is good enough for a star on it's own.

I liked this more than I was expecting too. The songs were long but I enjoyed the way they changed as they progressed. Couldn’t face the super deluxe version though. The regular album I liked all the songs and would listen again. Fav song: Yours Is No Disgrace Least fav: A Venture

Quite like this album overall actually. Very long songs but didn’t feel like they overran. Quite liked the feel of the guitar too. Don’t like in deluxe albums how they just repeat the songs for the single version or something. Or that there is a 4 hour super deluxe version. So unnecessary. Specific rating - 4.2 Fav song- yours is no disgrace Least fav- perpetual change

A ton of interesting riffs that cover a ton of different styles over the course of the album. Doesn’t go off into full prog wankery for as long as a lot of the other prog rock albums on this list.

Progessive rock med fokus på smukke store kompositioner og blandet jazz, klassisk osv ind i rocken. Det er lange sange, så det er altid lidt svært at vælge et yndlingsnummer fordi der ofte indgår mange af dem. Der er mange af de her dynamiske skift så gør at man let bliver bevarer opmærksomheden. DEt er som om der hele tiden sker noget nyt, som jeg føler belønner at man godt kan sætte sig ned og lytte til det ene og alene for at se nye detaljer hver gang. Omvendt er det også meget melodisk ossv så man kan også bare have det i baggrunden. Minder mig lidt om rock opera på en eller anden måde? idk why. Nå men jeg synes det er godt, har anbefalet det til Mads fordi jeg tror han godt kan lide progerssive rock.

Pucha, qué ganas decirle YES con todo a YES, pero terminó siendo un "depende". Amé como canción por medio de ese disco. Aunque de agradecen los contrastes en la escuchada.

3.5

Kyllähän pippeliproge aina maittaa. Tätä jeesmiesten levyä en oo aiemmin kuunnellut. Kai tässä on vähän vähemmän käsistä lähtevä meininki kuin pändin myöhemmissä 70-luvun albuumeissa. Hyvä levy kaikilta osin ja sellaista mitä kuuntelisi ihan vapaaehtoisestikin, jos menojalka tän tyyliseen polveiluun vipajaisi. Ihan ei pippelöinnin taso saavuta vielä sitä pistettä, että täydet pointsit kehtaisi antaa.

Um disco gostoso de ouvir

I have tried yes before, but couldn’t get into it. Appreciate guitar work more and more though, and this album also seemed to be a better introduction then I’ve had before. Honestly want to dive into their whole catalog now. This is a 4.5

Vibed more with their harmonies over anything else. Enjoyable overall!

I've not listened intently to albums before this one, but even without listening to them, The Yes Album feels like a band that finally struck gold: epic instrumental passages that radiate confidence with cheerful and joyful singing. All landmarks of a critical moment of everything clicking together. An "Eureka!" moment, if you will. "Yours Is No Disgrace" and "Starship Troopers" are the main highlights, but an underrated song in my opinion is "Perpetual Change," which showcases the band's elation. It's a grand finale that unites the entire band as one. I can only imagine how the studio must have felt after recording each passage. Probably only a tenth of the joy I experienced while listening to this. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don't know what it is about this band, but I can't say no. Even with their too long songs that could be reasonably broken-up, I still Yes to more music, especially this era of the band. This is probably their tightest album, although Fragile is also pretty great.

Tällä kertaa enemmän synaa mut vieläkin toimii Kyllä

3.5 - Good

This album was a wild ride. Psychedelic prog rock with instrumental acoustic breaks that sound like you’re running through the English countryside? I’m here for it! Apparently Yes falls way off later in their discography but this one was very entertaining.

More like the FUCK Yes Album. I mean that in a good way.

Интересное, необычное звучание и не слишком однообразные песни. 7 из 10.

Wow, every track on this album was solid. Although I like prog, Yes has always been a band that I did not like. Most albums are pretty weak overall, but I think this one was solid end-to-end.

Accurate name cos the album makes me go YESSS cos the music is good. Hehe. I like prog rock

I didn't realize I was such a Yes fan.

Each song on this album feels like 3 different songs in one. A buy one get two free kind of deal. 4/5 Since the guitar is amazing on this album

Great album Virtually no skips Sounds just like that typical 70-80s rock music

Surprisingly good. Proggy without being too weird.

Right off the bat, if you don’t like prog you will not like this album. Now that’s out of the way, I thoroughly enjoy this album, the excessiveness that people don’t like about prog I really like because people who are skilled musicians can show us how skilled they are and this album has this in buckets, fun grooves provided by squire and bruford and great guitar work by howe. The one thing stopping this album being a top contender is that some of the longer songs with multiple sections I found were a bit abrupt changing into them and not as smooth as they could be

Album was definitely interesting went from straight up prog-rock at times with all the synthesisers in the world, to acoustic jams. Definitely a group of solid musicians, and though I prefer my vocals a little less high pitched, I won't hold that against them.

Really enjoyed listening to this one. Whole album was short in the number of songs but each song was unique and had great instrumental. Loved the harmonies too. Highest rating I’ve given up to date.

I liked it!

Fantastic prog rock album! Listened to it many times!

Sonically cool prog rock album!

YES!

Really surprised how much I liked this. Great musicians, great voices. 4.5 dropping to a 4 just because I’m rarely if ever going to put it on myself, but definitely enjoyed it all the way through.

Yah I’m starting to realize that while im not a die hard Stan for Yes, I might be a pretty big fan nonetheless. This album was nearly perfect, only a few songs that I didn’t care for, but 6/8 is a good ratio. As always they are just sorta fun and silly while coming across like they are taking themselves seriously. I also think a big part of that is because they take the instrumentation so seriously and it shows cause as always the best part of Yes is the music. The vocals are perfectly acceptable.

Lenge siden eg har hørt da. Da e et stykke fra Fragile, men litt Yes slår sjelden feil

A nice start of a career, already displaying some of the features that were then remarkeably enhanced in Close to the Edge, Fragile and Relayer. Yet, far from the brilliancy of their next albums. People may call this type of Progressive Rock over pretencious and show-off, well, I prefer to see it as people expressing their musicality and musical savvy in a free and excentric way.

pretty sick 3.5ish

A classic, but not their best. Still, this pre-wakeman era was incredible.

3.5

I miss some of the longer epics on their subsequent albums. Still great. 4 stars

Despite my overall indifference to progressive rock, I think this is a really good album. I've always liked the "I've Seen All Good People" suite, especially "Your Move". I'm a little more mixed on the "Starship Trooper" suite, but "Life Seeker" is pretty awesome. I think I prefer this slightly to *Fragile*, but they're pretty similar in quality for me. 4 stars.

Pretty interesting and unique sound of rock. A little repetitive but still interesting.

May have sounded like Phantom Island, but can't say for sure.

Good

Upon seeing The Yes Album on my screen I wasn't particularly excited. I have never been a huge fan of prog rock except for Rush and In The Court Of The Crimson King (which, yes, I should listen to more King Crimson). But I cannot let my hatred for Pink Floyd get in the way of other bands' shine, and so here I am giving this a shot. And WOW, what a great time this was. Upon the first few notes I was greeted with that same nostalgic & epic goodness that I get from 2112's Overture. Yours Is No Disgrace feels like the opening of an awesome space cartoon, and despite its long runtime is so diverse and interesting that it just simply doesn't get boring. The Clap was also a very nice time, I am a sucker for these kinds of acoustic songs, even though the decision to include a live version is a bit odd. Then we get Starship Trooper, which also did not disappoint. Especially the last bit where it basically turns into proto-shoegaze was so incredibly enjoyable. Like Yours Is No Disgrace, it felt like a travel through space. I've Seen All Good People had that Beach Boys-esque charm to it in the first half, with really strong lyricism and satisfying songwriting, and the second half was just another nice prog rock passage. Both these songs never overstay their welcome and fly by before you know it. If anything, I wish these were longer. A Venture indeed felt like a venture, a pocket sized but a fun venture. Perpetual Change did kinda drag on around the end, but the first half was definitely memorable, and the guitar/piano rhythm motif that they repeat is so catchy and captivating. An incredibly solid prog rock record, one that I will happily add to my rather limited prog rock pallette.

Overall: 7/10 I got Fragile generated for me a long time ago and I must have been in a bad mood that day and wanted to take it out on Yes, cause I gave that album a 7/10 when it's easily a 9/10. I don't tend to change my ratings on this site so it'll stay that way. After listening to this album, I now know what a true 7/10 Yes album sounds like. The first thing I noticed was that the keyboard parts are less than satisfactory, and after looking it up I realized it's because Wakeman wasn't in the band yet. That's dissappointing. I do really like this album though. The vocals, drumming, and especially the bass are still all awesome. The guitar work is also a lot of fun but it's not really a big draw for me when it comes to this band. I think this album was a great stepping stone to get to the heights of Fragile and Close to the Edge. This is unrelated but Chris Squire was tall as hell. Fav Song: I've Seen All Good People

on the 3rd song rn and im having a great time listening to it on the road :D. It's nice and calm so great for the current atmosphere. plus it reminds me of songs and artists i already like. The songs are a bit long which scared me at first but it switches up a lot, so it stays interesting, new instruments or rhythms are constantly added if you listen closely.

3.7 Yes. Some really good early prog rock actually. The peak of the album is certainly the coda for starship troopers but tbf the rest of the album doesn't stray too far from that.

po já é fato sabido que eu curto um prog né esse é mto bom n tem nem oq fazer..........

A good reminder that we had the attn span for 8-10 min songs back in the day. This was a great album!

Chris Squire är kung! Vilket band! Perfekt balans mellan prog-krångel och rivjärn. Man vill bara höra mer! Fan va bra!!! Alltid intressant men aldrig påfrestande eller jobbig lyssning.

I really dislike repetitive songs. This album was not repetitive. Very interesting and fresh

4/5 - I needed to hear this, because I’ve never voluntarily listened to a full Yes album before. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Maybe prog isn’t so bad after all. Lots of great instrumentation here obviously, but I also really liked the opening vocal hook in Starship Trooper. Adding this one to my rotation.

Very nostalgic album for me; don’t know that I’d truly give it 4 stars, would prefer 3.5 but the nostalgia probably would bump it up.

I enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. In particular Steve Howe’s playing is captivating. I think this is Yes at their best. Leaning toward pretension but not crossing into completely inscrutable. Yes sir, I like it.

Love Yes, this wasn't quite a 5 star album but was close.

Genre: Progressive Rock Maybe Yes’ 4th/5th best album, The Yes Album is still one I’d consider a prog rock classic. Doesn’t quite reach the heights of even their own later efforts, but it’s got some really incredible tracks. Yours Is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper are two of Yes’ best, and they’re on the same side of the LP. Tremendous work, but not their best. 4/5

Primer acercamiento a la banda. Me encanta como te va llevando a lo largo de los diferentes movimientos. 8/10

Yes is so polarizing in terms of taste, as the global reviews will show. So I invite you to take a different perspective on this album, something other than "I don't personally like it therefore it's bad". Imagine you are about to die in 1001 days. You love music but you haven't listened to anything before in your life. You want to spend your precious last days exploring the best, the most interesting, the most unique of what is out there. You want to cover as many genres, themes, and styles as possible. One of those genres should be prog rock - a highly technical, strange, magnificent if sometimes chaotic sound. What better single example of prog could you listen to in your remaining 1001 days, but The Yes Album? Yes is at their absolute best here. The arrangements, song structure, variety, sheer instrumental skill, production quality and seamlessness - this IS the best example of prog we have. Whether or not it is to your personal taste, this work of art deserves a day of your listening. Four stars only because there are multiple Yes albums on this list and that is a shite move by Dimery. Silly human race!

Dope

I usually hate prog rock. This time I didn't. This sounds amazing to me. I blame this list.

An excellent display of musicianship here. Starship Trooper and I've Seen All Good People stand out for sure.

Just really good.

thoughts: very prog, very “music my dad listened to as i was growing up,” but honestly this was a very fun album to hear. songs: “yours is no disgrace”, “starship trooper”, “i’ve seen all good people” rating: 8.6/10

Yes！

A total classic, I'll never say no to some Yes.

Not THE Yes Album but The Yes Album still makes me say Yes (3.5/5)

Interesting prog

I struggle with Jon Anderson over the course of an entire album, but mostly dig what's happening musically even if it's not always stylistically my bag. As cliché as it is, though, "I've Seen All Good People" is such a fucking banger. 3.5/5

Quality rock album. Last track dips a bit

9/10

Did I like this album? Yes!

Another album I had heart all the eay through! I always had a big soft spot for Seen All Good People / You're Move. Album itself is really cool- it blends a lot of different sounds together that I feel was unique for the time. Overall- probably a 3.5/5 to 4

yes

Nice

Smooth prog rock. Great in the moment but I can remember it once it's done

The Yes album? Yes yes yes. Liked it.

Este es uno de los primeros discos que compré en formato físico cuando empecé a coleccionar, por lo que me trae muy buenos recuerdos. Además, es uno de los primeros grandes discos de Yes (Yours is no disgrace, Starship trooper, I've seen all good people...). Siempre me ha gustado. 4'5/5

Yes yes yes! 8/10

My favorite yes album is close to the edge and that's one of my all timers. It's the most fun i've ever had with prog rock. So Yes is a band that is pretty cool. Out of that classic Yes trilogy this is prob the worst, but doesn't mean much it's super fun. 88/100

Oh yeah, this sounds pretty cool -- OH I KNOW THAT SONG (track 4)

This is obviously a style of music you are going to love or hate. I can totally understand why someone would not enjoy it. I really liked it. I knew a lot of these songs from my childhood, but don't recall ever listening to the whole album. It was fun, over the top and self indulgent, certainly, but the overall atmosphere created by the music is something I really appreciate. I think it started dragging only about halfway through the final track.

Musically this album is amazing, would be 5 stars with a different vocal range.

Best prog band ever.

Rocks

Really liked this one. Love the style that they have and just really cool album. 4 stars

I really like Yes and love some songs but find it hard to love everything but this was just joyful and I'm sure could become a 5 in time. I've just not listened enough.

Ugg. I enjoy this. 4.5

Endnu en positiv overraskelse fra Yes, jeg regnede virkelig ikke med at de var noget for mig

Great - small 4!

6 great songs in 41 minutes? T Hata more than 5 minutes a song! Wow! Another great album!

Another one from when prog was one of my favourite genres as a teenager. I listened to this tons but hadn't heard it in years so I couldn't remember it, but it came back pretty quickly Yes were always one of my favourite prog bands, Chris Squire's very prominent and driving bass (which obviously appealed to me as a bass player) and also helps with the quiet-loud dynamic that they used a lot. I love Jon Anderson's voice as well. Everyone is brilliant at what they do but those 2 are what make the band for me Highlights: Yours Is No Disgrace, Perpetual Chance, I've Seen All Good People

Fun times with this one

Loved it

This was a solid rock album! I’d never listened to Yes as far as I’m aware but I enjoyed this album listen. They kind of had a sound reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young but with more rock vibes. I would definitely rock out to this album again in the future!

Excellent. Nothing sounded like this. Totally original.

WAS NICE, SEEMS UNDERRATED

Really good album. I've Seen All Good People is a personal favorite. Never listened to any of the other songs on this album, but found them all to be enjoyable to listen to.

Really solid album. Easy to lose yourself in this one. It does bring you back to a different time and place in the rock spectrum but it is an annota le place.

Interesting one, a good discovery

Yes (Нунеплох)

What progressive rock from this period should be. Thank you for being the band that you are.

Summary: Solid 70s prog. I've never actively listened to Yes, so this is the first time I'm noticing just how intricate some of their vocal harmonisations are. Some of the music is a bit complex and alienating to an average listener, but for 1971 I think we can cut musicians a little slack. It was, more than any other year in history, a musical revolution. Lots of influences taken from the likes of the Who, the Beatles, and early Led Zeppelin - as well as being an influence on many artists to come. It's a fun, engaging listen. Friendly on the ears. But it could be friendlier on the mind. Yours Is No Disgrace: Man, such an "early-70s" sound! Energetic, particularly the drumming, and the chords are simple and very rock-oriented until the vocals come in. There's some weird key-changing going on. Reminds me of Elton John's Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding, with electric guitars and organs replacing the dominant piano part. There's a great bass breakdown at around 2:45. The album is essentially a progressive jam track with multiple contrasting sections that don't transition smoothly at all. I guess that's part of the early-70s prog meta. Even so, good stuff. The acoustic breakdown at 7 minutes is very odd but is carried through by the thick, bluesy bass tone. The Clap: A short folky instrumental. Reminiscent of Black Mountain Side (the Led Zeppelin version), a little bit. Super interesting harmony ideas going on here, but texturally about as standard as a prog-rock bands is probably ever willing to go. The applause at the end suggests it was performed live, but amidst a bunch of non-live tracks, it feels out of place. Starship Trooper: A more convincing 10-minute track than Yours Is No Disgrace, though it's pretty close. They're playing around with time signatures and keys here - fun, but is it necessary? Yes (hehe). I can't help but think of Tommy (The Who) during the vocal harmonies, particularly in the section around 4 minutes in. Yes was definitely inspired by that late-60s proto-metal sound. The hook (rapidly ascending major scale) is fun and memorable. Extended outro, with its I-VIb-iv progression, is also really good. I've Seen All Good People: A song very focused on the singing and vocal melodies/harmonies. Everything else in the intro sequence is mixed down to let the singers shine. Even though it's lighthearted like all the others, this song feels completely different - almost ethereal. At least, until the halfway point, when a fast rock-swing is added to shift the mood entirely into jam territory. A Venture: I don't know what to make of this one, other than it sounding very good. Love the guitar tone and the subtle lines placed behind the vocals. And, of course, the piano gets a long jazzish solo during the outro. Interestingly, a guitar solo can be made out in the last 5 seconds as the song fades out. It's so quiet by that point, though, that it's difficult to tell. Would've loved to hear the full solo. Perpetual Change: Thick distortion on the opening suspended chords. It's a distinctive and appetising intro. And the crystal-clear electric guitar tone is back (wahoo!). Middle section sounds like Katy Lied-era Steely Dan, featuring some guitar-piano mishmash and several minutes of excellent (if a little one-dimensional) soloing. I get the feeling the lyrics are important here, but that's for somebody else to figure out. 4/5 Key tracks: Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People

It's an album I own! Good stuff. Chris Squire's bass drives the train. 4/5 #118

M'n derde Yes album. Toen ik de naam zag twijfelde ik even of ik Yes al had gehad, maar zodra ze voor de eerste keer begonnen te zingen wist ik het zeker. Ik weet dus een beetje wat ik kan verwachten en waar dit heengaat. Proggy gepiel. En dat kan gewoon heel gaaf zijn als ze niet te ver doorschieten. Tot nu toe was ik over Yes gematigd enthousiast om het maar zo te noemen. Leuke stukjes met teveel ingewikkeld gedoe er omheen. Ik vind de openingstrack deze keer goed dus dan rol je toch lekker vlotjes zo'n album in. De tweede track voelt als een enigszins misplaatste losse flodder, maar duurt niet lang. Track 3 is meer dan goed en de derde act ('Würm") zou ik zelfs geniaal noemen met die Territorial Pissings-achtige drie akkoorden waaromheen heerlijk wordt uitgepakt. Daarna veer ik niet echt meer op, maar al met al is dit gewoon prima. M'n favoriete Yes album tot nu toe. Ik ga voor 4 sterren.

not as noodly as I was expecting

3.5 rouded up

Instantly recognizable. I’m not a Yes fan but I appreciate the always good music from Yes.

Of all the significant albums by Prog-Rock bands that were released in 1971, this is one of them. "The Yes Album" isn't my most favorite, but I don't dislike it either. It's better than King Crimson, but not as good as Pink Floyd. Most equal to Yes' other pressing from that year, "Fragile."

7/10 which translates in my system to 4 stars. The guitar is great , but the guy's voice gets on my nerves.

I’ve listened to Yes before but never a full album, and this one really surprised me. An excellent album. Yes is different from many of the other prog bands of the time because they’re so…..chipper?! Upbeat, maybe? While listening to some prog albums feels like doing your maths at the kitchen table on Sunday night, listening to Yes feels like taking a stroll with very close and slightly goofy friends. So much fun. Some prog bands make 9 minutes feel like 30; Yes is not that band. A good hang.

I am big Progressive Rock fan and love this album. But, I can see why some people would not like to listen to really long pieces of music. This album is not a good starting point for people wanting to explore Prog. Listeners should get some Peter Gabriel Era Genesis and some Jethro Tull under their belts. Then come back and listen to this album again.

Nice vibe, lite Queen men mer proggigt. Ändå två låtar som åkte in på spellista!

Track 1 - bassline / guitar / synthline / harmonious vocals **** All Good People *** Classic prog-rock and enjoyable listen probably 4 stars

I'm borderline at a 5 on this one. Absolutely had a couple of tracks that I very much loved. Perpetual Change has a great rift that enters the world of Jazz, some great notes played. Awesome album.

3.5 probably. Leaning towards more 4 than 3.

Good Yes album, not their best, so a four

Solid

YES!!! :) It's been a while since I've heard YES. I don't listen to them frequently but have heard some of the songs.

Listened with my headphones on, as another reviewer on here suggested. Not usually my kind of music, but really liked this one – must be the headphones (Cisco, mind!). Standout track: Starship Trooper P.S. Didn't realise they were the outfit responsible for 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'.

All in all a solid rock album! I liked the tracks that were diff from standard rock; great guitar playing skill. 4/5 will likely be back

Enjoyed it. Fun rock music.

pas mal

It's a decent album and was a pleasure to listen. But, it's not really essential and I probably won't play it again cause there's a lot of more interesting stuff out there. Five star system is not enough to express my opinions on albums. 3 is too little and 4 is too much. I give this album 4 out of 5 but this 4 is closer to a 3 than a 5.

Silly human race

Gotta dig the prog rock vibes of Yes. This album doesn't have Roundabout, which is one of my all time favorite classic rock tunes, but I still like what the record has to offer. Anyone else still think of Mr. Deeds anytime they hear I've Seen All Good People? Random connection forever lodged in my brain.

Great listen for Father’s Day. Excited for more

With new guitarist Steve Howe YES nails their sound, avoids getting dropped by their label, release a solid album with stellar songs like Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper & I´ve Seen All Good People ,1971 was a good year for the band. Fragile & Close to the Edge were just around the corner. The Yes Album is YES right before world domination it's not perfect (that would come later that year with Fragile) but it's bloody good. The first essential Yes album.

I really liked this album! All the incredible 70s vibes. So much fun to listen to! Very jammy.

A nije fragile ili close to the ege ali je ok

YES is always such an interesting band to listen to. Their sound is very unique across all the different elements. Somehow, they all just come together and make for a good listening experience. 4/5

Experimental, proggy rock. Not sure what to say. Think Supertramp vs the Beatles with some more experimental bits. Pretty good, borderline 3-4 stars Best track - A Venture, Your Move

Sparkling with positivity and bodacious vibes, a great mood album. Built for a summer drive through the countryside

Classic

Excellent album. Didn't realize how many tracks I was already aware of. Would listen to it again.

Pretty good, but I like prog.

For many years I would have recoiled at this and all its noodlyness but a few things have changed over the years. I just decided to try and give up on my learned prejudices from my teens and 20s. I really fell in love with Steve Howe's previous group Tomorrow and Bill Bruford's subsequent spell in King Crimson. Then finally I sought out this specific album after hearing Starship Trooper on the TV drama Divorce. It wasn't like the song resonated because of the scene of a middle aged man rediscovering his independence in a dweeby way, I just really liked the track. Maybe I'm a dweeb. Anyway, and the next thing you know, because of Sarah Jessica Parker, I'm getting into Yes .

An album out of my comfort zone, and I had never heard the band before but pleasantly surprised and would definitely listen to it again.

Funky rollin rock

Very enjoyable progressive rock album, though yes van certainly do better with later albums.

Been seeing the light with these guys more and more, their music is really epic! If someone said “do you want me to turn this off?”, I’d say “Yes? No!!” And if they said “do you want me to turn this up?”, I’d say: “yeah!”

Yes is my friends

yes has grown on me honestly

The first song sounded very Rush-esque. I liked the banjo on The Clap. I really like the song I've Seen All Good People. Perpetual Change was also good. It was an interesting album in that it bounced between long songs to songs more typical in length. The back and forth was good, making it feel not too long but also getting some good guitar riffs in the album.

Not usually a prof fan but I liked this. I’ve Seen All Good People is a jam

Fragile and Close to the Edge easily clear, but I still like it.

A great debut album form progressive rock legends: "Yes". Each song has its own unique feel to it and the guitar playing is great i also like the lyrics theyre philosphical whilst also remaining quite unserious 8/10 Favourite: Yours is No Disgrace Least Favourite: The Clap

• 4/5 • seen All Good People is the standout for me, but every song is good • one of the rare albums of non-ponderous prog

Great prog rock album. Not my favorite from Yes, but it's still a good one. 8/10 fav song : the Starship Trooper trio

Less on-target than Rush, but this is pretty much the definition of prog rock.

As I understand it, this is the point where Yes abandoned their psychedelic cover band roots and swapped some members as their label was threatening to drop them. They emerged as a prog rock band making their own music. It's maybe not the most compelling story in the history of recorded music but they obviously went on to make a name for themselves. It's a decent prog rock album. I was leaning towards 3 stars but I really like "Starship Troopers" enough to bump them up an extra point.

I just really like Yes, their clasic albums always feel so complete to me. There's not much more you could ask from them.

Goated prog rock. Muymuy bueno. Tengo q escucharlo más pero me emcanta el estilo de yes y de este album

An album regarded, by me at least, as the first of the "proper" yes albums, with strong portents of what was to follow.

Complex songs and talented musicians, but a little dense to dig into in a day. Clap is an amazing acoustic guitar track and was my favourite from the album but also sounds a little out of place when everything else is prog rock.

4/5

A pretty interesting Yes album. Less grand than their albums "Close to the Edge" and "Fragile" but still very weird arrangments/excellent prog playing.

Best: perpetual change Worst: -

This was fun! Will be a re-listen.

Listened to this album many times, never disappoints. Yes' flagship album, great compositions and hits. -Yours is No Disgrace -I've Seen all Good People -Your Move

This must be the jolly/fun end of the prog-rock spectrum. And it's decent for it. Bright sound, tight playing, tales of seafaring etc. Crisply recorded and not overlong. Flecks of diverse influences (jazz? bluegrass?). Not bad at all; one to come back to.

YES!

4.3 - I'm liking this band, gonna listen to more and research

A letdown compared to the last two albums I reviewed. "The Yes Album" is still a great record, though. The vocals are pretty good, along with the instrumentation. So I enjoyed this album. Unrelated note: Do not let AI music kill human creativity. 4 stars for "The Yes Album".

Second Album de Yes proposé par le générateur, après 'Close to the Edge' dans lequel j'avais trouvé les 19mn du morceau éponyme pas très réussies. Dans ce nouvel album, les morceaux les plus long sont à un peu plus de 9 mn, ce qui permet de développer les idées musicales sans finir par lasser l'auditeur: j'ai vraiment apprécié les 4 plus longs. Et quel son et lignes de basse ! Un vrai plaisir. Parmi les plus courts, j'ai trouvé 'Clap' peu intéressant (guitare acoustique solo, totalement différent du reste des morceaux), mais l'autre (A venture) est plutôt bien. Bonne découverte donc, qui pourrait rejoindre ma collection. =>4/5

I knew nothing about yes before this, I was usually a no man. But this is really good. Some songs are really amazing, but it's a bit hampered by being prog without progressing much (just making songs long)

Yes continues to impress me, so much so this gets a resounding 'yes' from me.

Yes!

Very good, probably will only get better with further listens. There’s a song about chess on this one! This album is a nerd’s wet dream

It's way more accessible than Fragile and really easy to the ear. Really like it a lot.

more like The YES Album. 4/5

The guys are so cool in the nerdiest way possible.

Love yes

Good. Didn’t hate it. Might listen to more YES

Fun album

I always loved this album. It was my favorite progressive rock album that I first heard around 1981cor so.

You say yes I say no You say stop I say go go go

This is the third Yes album I've gotten from the generator and I think I'm a Yes fan? I never would've guessed. Their approach to prog rock just works for me. It's not often I describe a 9+ minute song suite as a "crazy banger," but "Starship Trooper" is a crazy banger.

Great album all the best parts of Yes that would be built upon in subsequent albums

classic 70-e rock

fine! Feels straight out of the 80's, very time specific

Yes

Great prof rock, already know the album well, lots of fantastic songs in spite of many being 8min plus

Good album, every song sounds a bit like roundabout (the only Yes song i really know) which I like.

Faves: Starship Trooper

Another solid 70s rock album

Solid nerd music, just missing some Wakeman

One of the better prog rock albums out there, very close to giving this a 5 but it’s not close to the edge level, great listen regardless

Like revisiting a familiar math problem, still interesting!

Just a solid prog rock album, not my favourite from Yes but it's a classic for a reason

I liked this quite a bit. Good prog rock. 4/5

Yes)

interesting. different. relaxed rock

Ahh yes, the album The Yes Album from the band Yes. Joking aside, I have enjoyed the occasional Yes before as a progressive rock outfit, with a lot of their notable songs involving multiple movements and odd time signatures. That much was evident on this album, where "Yours Is No Disgrace", "Starship Trooper", "I've Seen All Good People" and "Perpetual Change" are all excellent showcases of the band's songwriting and instrumental skill. From the eclectic basslines of Chris Squire to the infectious guitar riffs and soloing of Steve Howe, to the percussive bombast of Bill Bruford, to the ethereal piano, organ, and Moog synth play of Tony Kaye, and even Jon Anderson's natural above-tenor singing all contribute to such outstanding sonic adventures. That said, as much as I enjoyed the long songs on The Yes Album, the short songs I found paradoxically not that interesting. "The Clap" is a brief acoustic guitar noodling from Steve Howe recorded live that sounds out of place on this record. While "A Venture" sounded better integrated in the studio led by Kaye's piano line, the rest of the song is a hazy jazz swing that feels like it goes nowhere as the composition keeps returning to the harmonized refrain of "hide away". I understand if these short songs were meant to act as relief between the longer songs, but if I'm being honest if it were just the longer songs on this album, the quality would be much better. That said, The Yes Album is a great album from Yes that showcases the band's leaps in songwriting and composition.

Bra!

Awesome album, almost a 5 for me. The instrument work on this album is incredible, it has all time hits and underrated classics like starship trooper. Great prog rock

Interesting, certianly something worth further exploration. The bonus tracks just ended up confusing me. I think Your Move is my fave.

Yeah, a nice listen - now that I've gotten more of a taste for Yes I should perhaps go back and re-listen to "Close to the Edge". I took a quick look at their wikipedia page to try to gauge which direction in their discography I should explore in, but then saw the truly parody-worthy numbers of personnel changes and squabbles and law suits and I got real sleepy. 😆 Fave tracks - the "Wurm" section at the end of "Starship Trooper" is pretty awesome. Also dug the second half of "I've Seen All Good People" which seems to be called "All Good People".

One of the best prog albums by Yes. Enjoyable, good batch of songs and generally easy to listen.

Muy característicamente Yes, pero me decepcionó un poco. No iba a escuchar los mixes, pero parece que son notablemente mejores.

liked this, all the songs are great, highlights include: "The Clap" "Starship Trooper" "I've Seen All Good People"

Quite enjoyed this, more listenable than a lot of progressive rock. Particularly liked I’ve Seen All Good People or Your Move or whatever it’s called

First song already starts with an interesting sound, synths and drums. Sounds like an artistic depiction of certain things. Funky psychedelic guitars give off relaxing and immersive vibes. Giving off some Pink Floyd vibes with the some of the sound and the vocals, which is not bad at all. Have some elements reminiscent of Porcupine Tree. Song is quite long, but not bad. Second song comes off country, bluegrass and folk style. Slightly nostalgic and really pleasant melody. Third song starts off ethereal, psychedelic, and immersive. Really comforting and nostalgic. Sounds artistic. Sounds similar, once again to Pink Floyd. Country music appears later on in the track, pleasant and uplifting. Afterwards sounds like another part of the whole song, sounds more uplifting than the start of the song. Consistent and pleasant. Fuzzy and pleasant distorted guitars. Very nice immersive instrumental solo towards the end. Fourth song starts off pleasant with the vocals and background strumming. Progressing to a better sound with an added organ. Second part coming in, sounds funky, psychedelic and slightly folk. Pleasant listening, progressing to a better sound. Very nostalgic sounding. Fifth song already sounds pleasantly calm with the piano at the start, psychedelic and immersive, slightly jazzy. Sixth and last song sounds repetitive with the organ at the start and later on. Sounds nice with the guitars, which were a bit repetitive too. Sounds average, a little unoriginal musically by being repetitive. Later on gets a little better. Towards the end it makes up a bit for the previous repetition. 1-10 Rating is 8/10. Star rating would be 4 out of 5 stars.

4.5

Great prog album, some bangers on here

Some pretty good prog! Yes, there are some long tracks here, and they meander, but they never stay in a place for too long. It doesn't go overboard with self-indulgence. Which, unfortunately, a lot of prog tends to.Like, if we're making comparisons, I got ELP's "Pictures at an Exhibition" earlier, which came out in the same year, and it's ASS by comparison. There are some killer bass lines here, too (especially on "Yours Is No Disgrace"). It's enjoyable as music to focus on, but even playing in the background. Fav tracks: Yours Is No Disgrace, I've Seen All Good People, Perpetual Change

Enjoyed this thoroughly

I've been scarred by some 'prog rock' albums on this list, so I started listening with my finger poised over the 'close window' button. However, the first track was good, very good in fact. The whole album was a lot better than I was expecting. I would happily listen to it again.

appreciate it more than i like it

I am constantly amazed by how many stunning albums came out in 69/70/71. Johnny Cash, Black Sabbath, Abbey Road, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Layla, The Stones (if you think they're good), Tapestry, Imagine... Imagine having heard all of that on repeat for the last 3 years. Would you still think this album was good? Yes! I think you would. This is some pretty progressive stuff but still really firmly rooted in real instruments with sounds, and doesn't go too far in the "deliberately trying to be off-beat" direction. Some lovely arrangements and great songs.

Really liked this. I'm apparently a prog fan, who knew. 3.5

Very enjoyable. The guitar melodies are incredible good

An anti-war progressive masterpiece. Tracks: Yours Is No Disgrace (anti-war); Starship Trooper (peak early 70s - UFO, environmentalism, the song continually changes mood, tempo, rhythm and style), I've Seen All The Good People (two parts of the song: acapella in 3-part harmony, rock accompaniement -> grandiose church organ sound), Perpetual Change (Moon landing vs environmental problems on Earth). Favourites: Yours is No Disgrace, Perpetual Change.

Prog

Alright im getting back on the random album recs. This album is just really fun. Ive listened to Close to the Edge and id call that prog rock to its most extreme. The Yes Album has enough space to be digestible but still have a bunch of stuff to gorge on in terms of melodic and harmonic goodness.

Somewhat of a relief after a string of forgettable boogie rock. Avoids most of the worst trappings of prog, with interesting guitar work, some lovely melodies, and some real variety. The vocals are a little too Queen-esque to me - lots of layered harmonies and straight notes, not enough grit - and sometimes it drifts into pretension, but definitely worth a listen.

OVERALL: Very good for only 6 songs, although 41 minutes is a lot for 6 songs. There were some pretty good vocals throughout, and the production was really good most of the time. The back to back multi part songs were both really good, and the only part I didn't really like was Disillusion. Not counting Disillusion, The Clap is easily the worst song here, as it's maybe a little above average, and there are no lyrics or vocals to help it. With that being said, the album definitely gets really good after the first two songs. Certified bangers all the way through, and the outro track is really good. SONG AVG: 8.2/10 PERSONAL RATING 8.75/10 Yours Is No Disgrace: Great but long intro. I'm a massive fan of the production, but the song goes on for almost 10 minutes. Pretty good bassline. The vocals are okay, sometimes pretty good usually okay. Very good outro. I probably missed a lot of details since I'm pretty tired atm, but I thought it was pretty nice. It's just way too long. 8.25/10 The Clap: Basically no lyrics. It sounds fine, it works as a pretty above average guitar piece. The audience claps at the end are kinda weird but it isn't too bad. 6/10 Starship Trooper: This is a three part song, so I'll review each individually and the song as a whole. Life Seeker: Pretty good production and very good vocal performance. I don't really see anything I don't like about it. The vocals work with the production very well. 9/10 Disillusion: I don't like the production during the main verse, and the vocals during it could be better, but once it ends the production becomes very good. I don't think that was supposed to be part of Disillusion though, so it won't count towards the score as much. 6/10 Würm: Serves as a great instrumental and a fantastic outro for this song. Just overall really good, especially the guitar near the end. 7.75/10 Overall, a three part song with a strong first part, a comparatively weak second part, and a good outro. I like the chorus, and Life Seeker is really good. Würm is pretty nice, but Disillusion is not nearly as good as them. I would personally give this an 8.75/10, but the song average is around 7.6. Anyways, the parts will not count towards the song average. 8.75/10 I've Seen All Good People: This is a two part song, so I'll review each individually and the song as a whole. Your Move: Wow, another multi part song. Very good production and fantastic vocals throughout the song, however I find the diddits to be particularly annoying. 8/10 All Good People: Very good guitar solo in this one. I love how this sounds. The lyrics are just the same thing over and over again for the most part, but the vocals make it sound interesting enough to the point where it's not noticeable if you're playing it in the background. 8/10 Overall, very consistent in quality despite two parts that sound very different. Very good production and mostly great vocal performance in both parts. I would personally give this an 8 or maybe even an 8.25, but I'm leaning more towards the number that looks better. 8/10 A Venture: I like the intro, and I really like the production. The vocals are perfomed very well, especially the hide aways. I love piano. The lyrics do kinda suck, but I don't really care unless they are at a certain level of bad, and this song hasn't reached it. Overall, very good. Short and sweet. 9/10 Perpetual Change: Nice riffs in the intro. I love the chords in the production, and the buildup is incredible. Sounds very good during the chorus. The production can sometimes sound kinda weird, but it definitely redeems itself with how much detail and texture there is. Works as a great, grand outro. My biggest problem with it is the fade out outro. 9.25/10

Incredible classic rock album, the grooves throughout this one are fantastic. Will definitely be listening to this again / exploring more of Yes. The bass and organ beats throughout are really fantastic. Overall a fantastic display of musicianship. Very close to a 5.

Vety decent music

Nice ljudbild, går lite utanför boxen och flera låtar som var riktigt goa

Absolutely fantastic!

Have listened to before. Is a good one

I can hear the beginnings of what we now know as Prog Rock/Prog Metal in this album and it's super entertaining. I've never listened to Yes before and I'm now unsure why that is. It was too short, in my opinion, but solid from start to finish.
