Review: A landmark progressive rock album that showcases each band member's unique talents and their synergy as a group. The album opens with 'Roundabout', a dynamic piece featuring Steve Howe's classical guitar, Chris Squire's powerful bass, and Rick Wakeman's masterful keyboard work, drawing listeners into its complex structure and vivid musical landscape. Tracks like 'We Have Heaven' and 'Cans and Brahms' highlight individual members' creativity, while 'South Side of the Sky' and 'Heart of the Sunrise' feature full-band performances with intricate arrangements and memorable melodies. Wakeman, the band's new keyboardist at the time, brought a fresh, vibrant sound that complements Bill Bruford's precise drumming and Jon Anderson's ethereal vocals. Squire's bass is particularly prominent throughout, adding depth and inventiveness to the album's sound. The album marked Yes's rise to international fame and became one of their best-selling albums, cementing their reputation as pioneers of the genre. This new gatefold vinyl properly presents it as the legendary album it is.

Review: The remastered edition of The Yes Album by Yes revitalises their groundbreaking 1971 classic. Featuring hits like 'Yours Is No Disgrace' and 'I've Seen All Good People,' this album showcases the band's signature blend of progressive rock, intricate musicianship, and soaring harmonies. The remastering enhances the audio quality, bringing clarity and depth to Steve Howe's guitar work, Chris Squire's bass lines, and Jon Anderson's ethereal vocals. This release not only preserves the original magic but also introduces a new generation to the innovative sound of Yes, an undeniable cornerstone of progressive rock history.
