What an album. Released in 1971 and combining pumping tracks like 'Long Distance Runaround' and 'Heart of the Sunrise' with solo efforts in the form of 'Cans and Brahms' by Rick Wakeman and 'Mood for a Day' by Steve Howe in a way which sums up exactly what Yes is; A group of individually fantastic musicians who, combined, are even better than the sum of the seperate parts.

Yes is a group founded in about 1969 and has had many members over the years and for this album has Jon Anderson singing, Bill Bruford on drums and percussion, Steve Howe on Guitar, Chris Squire on Bass Guitar and Rick wakeman on the piano. Their music in general and on this album is a kind af Rock and Roll mixed with the layers and depth of Classical Music usually called Progressive Rock, but it has since been elevated to being known simply as 'Yes Music'.

Yes were always ahead of their time in terms of how they experimented with sound and I believe that, if this album was released today it would fit in perfectly, as it is over 30 years ahead of it's time. Every track is as enjoyable as the last and you really will have a great time listening to this album no matter how many times you hear it.

This is certainly the Definitive Yes early years album and it is
the Album which really made them the huge stars they have been known as from then onwards.

The album features a number of songs which over the years have become classics. You should really enjoy this if you like rock and roll but also appreciate the musical features of classical music (even if you don't listen to it directly) as this is an album that's tracks attempt very sucessfully to meld the two, adding extra depth to the standard rock and roll format. There is also a cheerful piano piece which really lightens any mood and a beautiful guitar piece which really cheers you up. There really is a song for everyone on this album and i would highly reccommend it.

Nowadays you can buy this album at bargin prices so all i can say is get it now. It really is easy to listen too and once you start you almost certainly won't stop.

I would give it 10/10
Happy Listening.
