The Owl Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was listening to "Magnification" today, first time in a long while, and really enjoyed it..and thd thought about what was the bes Yes album post 1990. I still have not heard either "Talk" or "Open Your Eyes" mainly due to people keep telling me to avoid those albums...but aside from "Union" I pretty much like all their post 90s albums. I liked FFH and while alot of people didnt like Yes without Anderson, I still found the album very enjoyable.... "The Ladder" has a couple stinkers, but is mostly good. So for this poll Im gonna vote for the keys material...I really enjoy those songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 One year too soon (1989), but I'd pick Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe, which pretty much counts as a YES project in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Probably Magnification. A year ago I would have said Fly From Here but I haven't really wanted to listen to it in a while. I also like The Ladder and Talk is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3strukt Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I really REALLY like Fly From Here. But Magnification gets the vote. Simply flawless album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Talk, by far. It is a top 5 Yes album in my book, and manages to combine Trevor Rabin's pop rock sensibilities with a little prog flavor and it rocks way harder than any of the 80s stuff they did with Rabin. Plus, Endless Dream is one of the best epics Yes has ever done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Magnification for me. Soft As A Dove aside, it's a very solid album. The orchestration really works. The Keys material second, the material is a bit too half baked in parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 For those who know, is there any difference between the Keys 1 and 2 studio material, and the actual album "Keystudio".. I have never actually heard the latter in full before... only the keys 1&2 double albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The only album I've heard in its entirety was Union ( ). Outside of that, someone was kind enough here to make me a compilation of what they considered the best tracks from all these albums. Outside of 1 or 2 tracks, none of it was anything I felt the need or desire to pursue. For the most part, Yes was done with 90125 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never actually heard the latter in full before... only the keys 1&2 double albums The Keystudio CD has a different version of Children Of Light. Other than that they are the same songs. Supposedly Rick Wakeman wanted to release those songs as a new album without the live recordings and call the album "Know". Keys To Ascension was the closest they ever got to the glory days of the 1970s so I like the live/studio double CDs myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 While I voted for Keys on the whole, I will say this "Homeworld" is probably my single favorite track from a latter day Yes album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great memories associated with it for me. Great memories for me as well. Union is the only 90's Yes album that I own so it wins by default. I remember the Union show fondly. In college at the time and not a care in the world. I still have the shirt (with several holes) from that show. Saw them 'in the round' at George Mason University. Very interesting in that pretty much all 7 of the musicians got their own solo (not counting Anderson). The show was also probably at a time when my Yes fandom was at its peak. I think I listened to Relayer more than any other album at the time except for possibly Exit Stage Left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
