All right, It's time for me to say my piece (for what It's worth).


1. The new album is very good. One of the years best.
   As far as individual songs go, It has the best collection since
   the 'Yes album - Fragile' days.

2. If you think that it is too commercial, turn off your radio.
   Listen to the songs for what they are, not for how often they
   are played.

3. Steve Howe is one of the worlds truly great guitarists, but the
   change in personnel is like a breath of fresh air for Yes. True,
   Trevor Rabin can never compare to Howe on a one to one basis, but
   he is far better than he is being made out to be. He is the
   principal songwriter on '90125', and did sing a good portion of the
   lead vocals on the album.

4. Chris Squire is the greatist bass player in all of rock.
   (not that anyone had said otherwise, I just couldn't resist)


I have tickets to see Yes on May 10th, and I'm allready getting excited.
(I've seen them twice before, in '78 and '80)

Well, that's all I wanted to say. I hope that this merits some response.
(even negative, I've never submitted before, let alone be 'flamed')
