Despite its lyrically dippiness, “Love Will Find a Way” gave Yes exactly what they wanted: A hit song.
When you add together all the disparate parts of “Almost Like Love,” you almost get a good Yes song … but not quite.

Billy Sherwood joined Preston Frazier to discuss Yes’ 50th anniversary plans, a new-look live album, and continuing work on a Chris Squire tribute project.
Each time I listen again to Yes’ ‘Big Generator,’ I’m struck afresh by its poise and expansiveness. “Shoot High Aim Low” is a perfect example.
“Big Generator,” the title track from Yes’ 12th studio album, seems desperate in its need to sound modern.
“Rhythm of Love” provides a rabble-rousing opening to 1987’s ‘Big Generator,’ but I’m not sure it’s really Yes.
What a way to end Yes’ ‘90125,’ the biggest album from the world’s greatest progressive rock band.
More than any other on Yes’ 1983 platinum-smash ‘90125,’ “City of Love” is a Trevor Rabin song.
“Our Song,” the B-side to Yes’ mega hit “Owner of The Lonely Heart” is the weakest track on 1983’s ‘90125.’ But it’s not without a few charms.
