Classic Yes Reviews
| 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful  Falls Short of Great, By This review is from: Classic Yes (Audio CD) Once you recognize there is no perfect Yes collection, you'll eventually come around to the idea that Classic Yes is a pretty good album. A reasonably complete compilation of Yes' best work would consume several CDs. This single CD does a decent job.The album suffers from poor song selection. How could anyone put the LIVE version of Roundabout on a best of album and still call it Classic? Unbelievable. There's also the issue of mediocre sound qualty. The more recent Highlights has improved sound quality and the studio version of Roundabout...but it has problems of its own. Classic Yes is an imperfect collection, but still a must for fans of 70s Yes. 10 of 13 people found the following review helpful  Yes, By This review is from: Classic Yes (Audio CD) I want to make it clear before I write anything more that I know nothing about Yes. I don't know the name of a single member in the band, except Jon Anderson and I don't even know what he does in the band. I don't know who the lyricist is, I don't know the inspiration for any of these songs, and this is the first Yes album I've listened to. So, if my review is sketchy. Forgive me. My friend let me borrow this CD and listening to it, I have to say that these guys rock. They're true musicians, they all play what they play so well. The bassist is one of the best bassists I've heard in a song. He's up there with Geddy Lee. The keyboardist is one of the best keyboardist's ever bar none...The singer sounds like a mix between Geddy Lee and Steve Perry, even though I'm pretty sure he was around long before the both of them. Almost all the songs on this CD are long, which is something I usually don't like. I really don't like long songs, but these were cool. They're songs start off one way...

However, I am not sure why I have this particular one. This CD is essentially another collection of their best, and is thus a "best of" collection. However, I have the CDs from which each of the songs derived. My usual excuse or justification for these kinds of collections is that either they are another combination of favorite songs, or they are great for the more casual Yes fan. However, I've come to notice that there really are very few casual Yes fans. We are either generally rabid fans, or for those who aren't, they don't care for Yes at all.I can't fault the collection. The music here is all good, though some of the versions are cut down from the versions as originally released. "Heart of the Sunrise", "Wondrous Stories", a personal favorite, "Starship Troopers", "The Fish", and many more. Yes fans have heard them all and likely have them all collected on at least one CD. Which takes me back to the... Read more |
