If The Beatles set all kinds of challenges for musical direction during the 60s, the album that set the bar for '70s progressive rock is without any shadow of doubt, the 'Yes Album'. All that was missing the day the album was launched was a star in the east, as the music and lyrics were penned in Heaven. Jon A and the band set a challenge that only absolutely fantastic releases could match. The band themselves managed it again with 'Close To The Edge','Relayer' and 'Going For The One'. Genesis, Pink Floyd and Renaissance managed to do it as well, but that's about it. The Yes Album is THE album of the '70s. From the opening bars of 'Yours Is No Disgrace', through the superb climax to 'Starship Trooper (Wurm)' to the culmination of the album with 'Perpetual Change' the other prog bands were collectively slapped in the face with a gauntlet. Follow this...if you dare! An essential part of any music lovers collection.

It often saddens me that this line-up of Yes were only around for this one album, I realise that this is an out-of-the-norm-view (most Yes fans prefering the key-work of Wakeman) but the music that is put down on this suberb album is out of this world.
To me this is one of the rougher Yes albums, the technology needed to create the progressive complexity of the music was a year of so down the line, but the fact that the band pushed the studio to the limit gives it the charm that other albums seem to lack. The result is a hardened and brash sound, no smooth egdes, Howe's guitars are scratchy, Squire's bass sounds like someone melodically scraping a nail along a saw, Bruford's drums having the complexity of the likes of Alex Acuna, but still with that vintage 70s sound.
Although this is possibly not as well recieved or liked as "Close To The Edge", probably because it does not have anything of epic proportions on it, this is still good enough to be classic and naive enough to be charming.
"Yours Is No Disgrace" and "Starship Trooper" are the two obvious choices for best songs, but there is also the ballardesq-come-bop-rock of "I've Seen All Good People", a classic by my recogning as well as the chilled out acoustic solo of "The Clap". This song must not be confused for an album filler, if the listener stops to listen to it fully then they will discover that it is quite good.
Although this album was released a full 10 years before I was born I still think that it is a landmark of both contemporary and popular music. If you only buy 1 Yes album buy this, you will not regret it.

I have had this album since 1980 and I dip into it regularly. Five of the six tracks (A Venture not included) are, without doubt, five of the best YES have ever produced. Everything sits so nicely together. The arrangements are beautifully crafted and the musicianship shines through, but remains accesible. A lot of later YES material could so easily lose the listener early on.
As an example of the best of seventies prog/art rock the tracks STARSHIP TROOPER and PERPETUAL CHANGE stand out and to my mind would be in a top ten of that genre. Steve Howe's guitar playing is outstanding and Brufords Jazz rock drumming inventive . Every time I listen to this album it always seems fresh and it puts me in a good mood. If you buy only one YES album then it must be this one. Go on!

Yes give the music space to breathe
THe Yes Album is very different in feel to the later, classic albums. The songs themselves are simpler in structure, the playing is less frenzied. Read more
