“Sister Sleeping Soul” begins as a rather unwelcome return to the kind of soft rock-prog that doomed Yes’ ‘Heaven and Earth.’ Then something great happens.

With “Music to My Ears,” Yes continues to seesaw between song ideas that clearly sprang from individual members. That leads to an ego-driven mistake.

Yes has finally come to grips with the idea of making an album without Chris Squire. But can they avoid repeating the mistakes of 2014’s ‘Heaven and Earth’?

My hopes and expectations have been satisfied by the release of ‘The Quest,’ an album worthy of the name “Yes.”

The modern-era version of Yes has once again shown that they can do something pretty. Next time, guys, let’s dare to rock.

Yes’ unfinished ‘Going For the One’-era instrumental “Montreux’s Theme” is two and a half minutes of suspended joy.

Fans should seek out “America” in its many official versions, just to hear how Yes’ cover of this Simon and Garfunkel classic has progressed over time.

After concluding a song-by-song analysis of Yes, let’s delve into favorite albums by the worlds greatest progressive rock band.

“It Was All We Knew” should have been saved for a Steve Howe solo album – or given a little more time to develop into a truly memorable Yes song.

Yes included a completely new song when they returned to ‘Fly From Here’ in 2018, but I wouldn’t recommend buying it just for “Don’t Take No For an Answer.”
