Its not often I pull a CD out of the CD player before Ive finished a listen through, but listening to this was one just incident.
This album sounds tired and unimaginative and a poor version of Yes.
Ive read that people have issues with this album and see good reason to dislike it as well. Considering that the guitarist and keyboard players are both from Asia is enough to tell you what this album sounds like.
While the new vocalist adds some interesting melodies, it is the music itself that leaves you feeling morose, apathetic and just bored. Most of the tracks exceed five minutes, with a couple of longer pieces, but some of these are just long keyboard intros that are unrelated to the song itself.
Yes have had their glory days, and with a band at this stage in their career and life, its time to call it a day on new material.
2/10 - only because I'm not a huge Yes fan.
