“Can I” represents something new for Yes, yet there is a connection to their storied past.

“Lightning Strikes” definitely has a different feel than the prior two songs on Yes’ ‘The Ladder,’ but that is in no way a slight.

This is a Yes deep cut that deserves to be brought back to the stage.

Boasting a dramatic and broad set of ideas, “Homeworld (The Ladder)” is Yes music of the highest order.

This album-closing song actually makes a great jumping off point for then-new two-guitar version of Yes.

Combining fragments from Jon Anderson with contemporary Billy Sherwood production touches, Yes’ “Somehow, Someday” works on several levels.

While not particularly memorable, “Love Shine” is another song by Chris Squire and Billy Sherwood that’s been enjoyably Yes-ified.

Yes’ ‘Open Your Eyes’ contains many strong songs, but it certainly could have benefited for more of a unified vision.

‘Wonderlove” reflects the new of state of mind that Yes was in during the sessions for 1997’s ‘Open Your Eyes.’

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.
