I not only love Yes, but also 1997’s ‘Open Your Eyes.’ I still scratch my head over some of this album’s production choices.

“Fortune Seller” features one of the best guitarist pairings of Billy Sherwood and Steve Howe in the Yes canon.

Despite good playing, Yes’ “No Way We Can Lose” never rises beyond the sum of its musical parts.

The initial three songs on Yes’ ‘Open Your Eyes’ find the world’s greatest progressive rock band at the top of their game.

Billy Sherwood always had a knack for melding traditional Yes elements with a contemporary sound. Same here.

‘Open Your Eyes’ is on my Top 5 list of favorite Yes albums, even if it had the misfortune of being one of their lowest-charting studio LPs.

A rare instrumental, “Sign Language” closes out arguably the best Yes album to that point since 1983’s ‘90125.’

Preston Frazier caught up with former Yes keyboardist Tom Brislin just as he began a new tenure with Kansas.

Producer Billy Sherwood again shows his talent at blending the Yes tradition with a contemporary feel.

If ‘Keys to Ascension 2’ remains Rick Wakeman’s final Yes studio album, then this was a fine way to leave the band.
