“The Gift of Love,” from the 2019 Yes EP ‘From a Page,’ is a fine song from a band that, despite its perpetual changes, continued to progress.
“From the Turn of a Card” is yet another fine addition to the Yes canon, and a wonderful timepiece celebrating Oliver Wakeman and Benoit David.
Musically gratifying and lyrically vibrant, “Words On a Page” would have made an excellent addition to ‘Fly From Here.’ Luckily, it’s available now.
Derek Wieland of Trans-Siberian Orchestra joins Ross Boissoneau to discuss key albums from Yes, Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Steven Wilson.
Part of a touching tribute to the late bass maestro Chris Squire, “To the Moment” kicks off an intriguing chapter in Yes history.
“Subway Walls” doesn’t quite match what we have come to expect from albums of all eras, but make no mistake: This is still good Yes music.
“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 acquits itself well on “Light of the Ages,” whetting the appetite for an album of new music in 2021.
“In a World of Our Own” is a pleasing middle-of-the-road rock Yes song which needs a few more progressive elements to be memorable.
