5.0 out of 5 stars Enter Howe, the result a resounding `Yes'

A.T. · 8 December 2012

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Released in January 1971, the third album from Yes is now seen as a timeless rock classic which marked a step change in style & imagination from the band's competent but unremarkable first two albums. `The Yes Album' also marked the replacement of founder-member guitarist Peter Banks (who fell out with Jon Anderson over the excessive use of orchestration on the `Time & a Word' album) with the truly brilliant Steve Howe, whose compositional input, technical skills and seminal playing in no small way contributes to this album being an outstanding piece of work, and who was to become one of the defining cornerstones of the unique `Yes sound'.Other reviews have offered excellent song-by-song commentaries of the album, so that won't be repeated here. However some general impressions stand out. First off, this band ROCKS; it's first & foremost a rock group, which plays with feel and passion. The keyboard mix pre-dates Rick Wakeman's joining by a few months so the moog makes only an occasional appearance, Tony Kaye supporting the melody principally with electric organ and piano. The overall sound is a guitar-rhythm section-vocal rock band spiced up with interesting compositional arrangements, great dynamics, vocal harmonies and some experimental pieces like `Perpetual Change'. The band finally seems to know what it's doing and where it's going, its distinctive sound beginning to emerge.You can hear Chris Squire on this album starting for the first time to use the bass guitar as a lead instrument, where rather than simply work with the drummer to underpin the rhythm, he offers a complimentary melodic structure to the guitar & keyboards, bringing an intelligence and complexity to the music rarely found among contemporaries.Above all, `The Yes Album' is bursting with energy. The opener `Yours is no disgrace' is one of the all-time great rockers with its distinctive tight opening bars moving into a driving riff, Kaye's organ work giving the impression of trying to constrain the energy of the rhythm section as Howe's choppy, wailing guitar offers bursts of sound as counterbalance to Anderson's equally energetic falsetto-register multi-tracked vocals.On the `expanded & re-mastered' release you get the original album, plus as bonus tracks single versions of `Your Move' & `Life Seeker' - the first part of `Starship Trooper' - & a studio version of `The Clap', Howe's solo acoustic guitar piece (a live-audience version was included on the original `Yes Album' to spotlight the band's new guitarist). Though the better-known live `Clap' is good, many listeners will agree the studio version has the edge.Overall `The Yes Album' though perhaps just a little bit rough at the edges and lacking the compositional complexity characteristic of subsequent `Yes' releases, showcases a tight, powerful & melodic rock band which has found its voice and distinctive style. To quote Bill Martin: "The Yes Album inaugurates `The Main Sequence', a term from astronomy for when a star begins to shine at full strength for a long period of time. The star called Yes was already there in the sky but suddenly we noticed it, and we could not look away."After 40 years `The Yes Album' still sounds great, and is recommended unreservedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate version of The Yes Album

R.R. · 24 May 2014

This review is of the 2014 CD + DVD-A release remixed by Steven Wilson. I do not comment on the music other than to say that this is album is one of the true greats of rock - progressive or otherwise.The box contains a cd remixed and with greater resolution than a standard cd and as such sounds good on a decent hi-fi system. The DVD-A disc is what this pack is all about though. There is a flat transfer hi res stereo original mix and new (S Wilson) mixes in both stereo and 5.1 surround, both also flat transfers. There is also a 5.1 dts mix. (I have yet to try this latter mix).The original mix in this format sounds superb and it alone justifies the purchase of this pack. If you are a die hard Yes fan this is higher sound quality than anything hitherto released; if you are new to Yes why settle for a lower resolution?The new (2014) Wilson stereo mix is my personal favourite thus far. Why? Because it seems a little less harsh without losing the fantastic dynamics of the music and it seems to separate the instruments rather better, for example Squire's bass on the opening track is just easier t follow.The (2014) 5.1 Surround version is good but not really for me. The choice of what to put out of each speaker will of course be a matter of taste. To me having key parts of the lead vocal coming out of the rear speakers is just not natural. (you can call me old fashioned!).So I highly recommend this on sound quality alone but would suggest sticking to the stereo versions.

Of all of Yes's albums this one has arguably has the best songs on it, I approached with caution after purchasing the recent Close To The Edge re-issue which was sonically a real let down, this album is totally the opposite, the Blu-ray contains one of the best sounding 5.1 mixes I have ever heard, the instruments burst from the mix, Chis Squire's Bass and Tony Kaye's Hammond are a sound to behold, Wilson has a really good quality recording to play with, Bruford's drumming is a revelation, the sound of the toms just blows you away, Howe's intricate overdubs reveal guitar lines that were not apparent previously in the mix, of course the vocals are peerless as you would expect.You are likely to be familiar with the songs if you are a Yes fan, if you are new to the band, this is a classic album presented in stunning clarity by a band at an early peak in their career (there were others), the extras include a live version's of America and a cover of the Rascals 'It's Love' , these show the band evolving pre Wakeman.The extended studio take of 'A Venture' featuring Kaye's piano on this often overlooked track is beautiful, I loved the original but the longer version is a real bonus.A special mention has to given to 'Perpetual Change' the instrumental section and the way it has been mixed leave you open mouthed, all in all if my enthusiasm comes across it's because this re-issue adds to the original issue and is not only as good as you remember it but better, you can't ask for more than that really,

W. · 17 October 2015

Ich hab mir dieses Album als LP (der Preis dafür war nur unerheblich höher) praktisch blind gekauft nachdem ich vorher kurz reingehört hatte. Dabei muss ich sagen, dass es sich wirklich gelohnt hat.Zuerst zum Album:Wer Yes von ihren späteren Alben kennt, damit meine ich "Fragile", "Close [...]", Relayer etc. , wird sicherlich überrascht sein. Denn diese Scheibe ist recht leicht verdaulich und hat stellenweise schon Ohrwurmcharakter zu bieten. Besonders der erste Song "Yours Is No Disgrace" schlägt direkt ein. Für Yes-Verhältnisse mit recht harmonischen Strukturen dabei aber in jeder Hinsicht sehr abwechslungreich. Für mich als Fan von Chris Squire wie immer ein Hörgenuss: Treibender Bass der sich gern auch mal aus dem Hintergrund herausarbeitet - das gibt es bei anderen Gruppen recht selten. Zu allen anderen Stücken muss man sagen, dass diese doch merkbar einfacher gestrickt sind als das, was die Jahre danach auf den Markt kam. Man hört bei den Grundstrukturen doch noch deutlich die musikalischen Einflüsse der ausgehenden 60er Jahre herraus. Trotzdem haben Yes diese Strukturen doch schon unüberhörbar zum Progressive-Rock der 70er hin weiterentwickelt. Wem die späteren Alben insbesondere CTTE oder Relayer zu "abgefahren" sind wird mit diesem Album sicher glücklich werden. Für mich ist "The Yes Album" ein Album, dass einfach nur Spaß macht, recht kurzweilig ist und sich schön durchhören lässt. Hier haben sie sich keinen einzigen Hänger geleistet und ein wirklich solides Niveau über die ganze Platte hinweg gehalten. Klar: Rein musikalisch hat man sicher später noch gesteigert, trotzdem hat mich das Gesamtwerk hier doch vollkommen überzeugt, da sie hier ein gutes Mittelding zwischen einfachen Harmonien und komplexer gespieltem Prog geschaffen haben. Auf die einzelnen Songs weiter einzugehen lohnt sich für mich nicht wirklich. Bis auf Clap und Yours Is no Disgrace arbeitet sich kein Stück nennenswert heraus wobei es aber in seiner Gesamtheit doch einigermaßen abwechslungsreich bleibt und sich nicht in ewig wiederholende Versatzstücke verliert.Wer die (frühen) Yes noch gar nicht kennt, für den ist diese Scheibe sicher ein guter Einstieg.Nun zur Vinyl selber:Wie ich fast vermutet habe fällt der Sound dieser 180g Neupressung gegenüber qualitativ höherwertigen Alt-Pressungen (sofern diese noch nicht verschlissen sind) etwas zurück. Das ganze ist gut hörbar hat mich für Vinylverhältnisse aber auch nicht vom Hocker gehauen. Die Qualität dieser LP ist vergleichbar mit den unzähligen Neuerscheinungen vergleichbarer Klassiker. Da die Platte aber nicht wesentlich teurer war als die CD habe ich den Kauf auch nicht bereut. Das (Klapp-Cover) sieht gut aus (das ist ja der eigentliche Grund warum ich lieber die LP`s kaufe) und ist qualitativ hochwertig. Allerdings hätte ich mir hier auch etwas anderes als eine Papierinnenhülle vorgestellt. Weitere Inlays gibt es nicht dazu.Fazit: Das Album an sich ist richtig gut - für mich eines der besten von Yes, die Vinyl hingegen kann man als Durchschnitt bezeichnen.
