[Review] Yes: Time And A Word (1970)
The heavily orchestrated second album topples over like an ambitious cake, underbaked in spots, overfrosted in others.
[Review] The Yes Album (1971)
One of the greatest progressive rock albums ever recorded, and a perennial candidate for the Top 20 rock albums of all time.
[Review] Yes: “Your Move” (1971)
Choosing this as the single from The Yes Album proved to be a winning move, giving the band their first Top 40 hit.
[Review] Yes: Fragile (1971)
Imagine discovering that The Yes Album was unsalted. That’s what it’s like.
[Review] Rick Wakeman: The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1973)
Wakeman’s first solo album is a fantastic, instrumental journey that brings the historical figures of Henry VIII’s six wives back to life again.
[Review] Steve Howe: Beginnings (1975)
Eh, Steve Hackett couldn’t sing either, and some of his albums were awesome. This one is pretty good.
[Review] Alan White: Ramshackled (1976)
White uses his newfound cachet to make the full-length record that Griffin (his original band) never did.
[Review] Patrick Moraz: Story of I (1976)
A science-fiction concept album that makes Wakeman’s stuff seem tame by comparison.
[Review] Rick Wakeman’s Criminal Record (1977)
A criminally underappreciated record from the once and future Yes keyboardist featuring crime-themed compositions.
[Review] Steve Howe: The Steve Howe Album (1979)
The all-instrumental second album showcases Steve doing what he does best (stringing), and not what he doesn’t (singing).
[Review] Chris Squire/Billy Sherwood: Conspiracy (2000)
Yes’ longest-serving member and its newest recruit join forces for an album of highly melodic and pop-oriented prog.
