1 out of 5 stars This is just not YES...period !.......2007-02-24

This album shouldn't appears as a Yes album. The music is poor, the vocals are a real disaster...yes without Anderson ? No way !
Listen to "Run through the light" and try to like this song...good luck !
This album is a disaster, Steve Howe seems to try to play old style Yes with a band that is trying to sound like a pop band ! It just don't fit.
Bad result....enough said about this poor CD.
PS I am a huge fan of Yes, this CD is not a Yes CD in my mind.

5 out of 5 stars Pure music.......2006-07-20

Forget the "Yes" brand for a while and just picture five musicians at work. Period. This is an awesome recording even if you want to label it a non-Yes effort. I could say the same about "90125" and nobody seems to care. Listen to Steve Howe doing some amazing stuff and just follow Chris Squire's flow. "Machine Messiah" stands out as one of prog rock's finest tunes, and it seems impossible not to move to the intensity of "Does it Really Happen" and "Tempus Fugit". Go for it. I wish these five could just for fun do a second and third recording.

4 out of 5 stars An Excellent Album.......2006-02-26

The most overlooked piece in the Yes catalogue. For many fans, the absence of both Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman make this unworthy of the Yes moniker, but the Buggles (Trevor Horn and Geoff Downs) do a great job of filling in. This CD showcases a harder edged Yes. Steve Howe goes for an almost heavy metal feel in his palying on this album. The opeing bars of Machine Messiah set the tone. It is funny, but in some ways this CD sets the tone for the next evolution of Yes wherin Jon Anderson returned and Trevor Rabin took over the guitar duties. Rabin's harder edged guitar palying is more like Howe on this album than any other YES CD. One minus on this is that the CD clocks in at under 40 minutes. The amount of music you get, but the quality is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars criminally underappreciated.......2006-01-07

this album imo is easily the most underappreciated album in the history of rock!

trevor horn and geoff downes might not be jon anderson and rick wakeman, (and it is not as if every album with anderson and wakeman is good!), but they're great musicians in their own right.

and it shows on the album. almost every track is great on this - especially 'machine messiah', 'into the lens' and 'run through the light'.

the album is harder edged than the normal "yes", but the band somehow successfully reconciles the heaviness with the melody and so the music literally soars on each track. and i love trevor horn's voice which imo is very unique - it is easily the most refreshing, pleasant yet rich vocals i've ever heard.

great great great album this! get this if you're above personality cults and like good music!

5 out of 5 stars Without Jon Anderson??? Hey, they pulled it off!.......2005-07-23

This is the best YES album since "Close to the Edge". Released in 1980, when disco was almost dead and MTV-type rock and pop was on its way in, this was a daringly progressive album which hooks you right from the opening riff of "Machine Messiah". By the time it's ended with the awesome "Tempus Fugit", you're ready to play it all over again. While Jon Anderson would seem irreplacable, Trevor Horne filled in nicely, with a high-pitched voice that proved him a worthy successor.

I've seen YES live (5) times since 1987. I've always been disappointed that Anderson never learned to perform any of the songs from this album for a live show.

As much as I enjoyed the next YES album, "90125", it was a shame to see the band go from one musical extreme to the other, simply because musical times of the '80's were changing with the likes of Michael Jackson and Boy George (Good God!!!)
