Is anybody else excited that Yes is finally putting out a new album? It's going to be called "Fly from Here" after one of the coolest songs Yes never recorded. Also, the Buggles are back on board, which makes the lack of Jon Anderson suck a little bit less (though it still sucks a whole lot). Here's the Buggles version of "We Can Fly from Here": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLkuKXt-nec And Jon Anderson is still putting out great music on his own. I love this song from his forthcoming album, "Survival and Other Stories" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8nyL5ksJqs Hopefully the new vocalist can at least come close...

When the band split, the Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe version considered calling itself "The Affirmative" but they decided on ABWH.Elec posted:I understand where you're coming from, but this is almost exactly the same as the 1980 line-up, plus an Anderson sound-alike. They'll probably sound more archetypical Yes-like than when Rabin and Kaye were in Yes, and Kaye was even an original member.

Rollersnake posted:I don't understand the appeal of Keystudio at all. Everything on it is mind-numbingly repetitive and overlong, the lyrics are Jon Anderson at his preachiest and cringingly bad, and it's the classic Yes lineup so you can't even pin the blame on Trevor Rabin or Billy Sherwood. There are one or two good bits buried in Mind Drive and That That Is, and Sign Language is a decent but unmemorable instrumental, but overall this is what cemented in my mind that there would never be another good Yes album. That the same band who made Tales from Topographic Oceans and Going for the One and Tormato could produce something this bad. quote:I do consider Union a bit underrated, though—not because it's good, but because it still has the reputation of being Yes's worst album, and I think they've since done much worse. Still, I would call I Would Have Waited Forever one of their best pop songs (I actually like it more than Owner of a Lonely Heart), and there are some other good tracks throughout like Masquerade and Take the Water to the Mountain. Saving My Heart might be the single worst song Yes ever did, though. From the sounds of it, Union was hampered by the studio executives. Jon Anderson actually released a collection of demos for what would have been the second ABWH album, which weren't included on Union and some of them are great if extremely poppy, like the title track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4NuPktx3fg
