Re: The Ladder?

I LOVE EVERYTHING they've done throughtout. If I have to add an exception, It would be "Tormato". I don't know why, but there's something about that album.......???? I rarely listen to it and when I do try, I never get all the way through it. Believe me, it bothers me.......I keep trying to like it.

Re: The Ladder?

I love Tormato. Played on xmas day a few years back, seemed to fit. If you don't like it that's cool, we'll talk over a beer or eight, neighbor!

It's a bit treble, esp on the first song, that could be a deterrent, York. I had to really do the same with the title track of "Going for the One", that's very high pitched also. Howe's guitar at the end bothers me a bit, but all in all a great song.

I'll only list the Yes I DON'T like. "Open Your Eyes" is an abomination. It sucks, plain and simple.

I've not heard Magnification, but based on recommendations, will get it sometime. "Talk" has a few decent cuts, but I don't see why people love that. Sharc and Spaz are big fans...it sounds great, but "I am Waiting" and "Endless Summer" are overblown, vapid pieces (ok shoot the arrows my way). I've tried to get into it.

90125 and Big Generator came out when I was in college, so I still have a liking to it. but they pissed off old school fans.

Thank you, Rick! "Man in the Moon"- *comic guy voice*-
Worst YES ever!
Rumor has it over at Yesfans than Jon and Chris were attempting
to woo Trevor back, replace Steve.
Damn, w/ politics like that going on, no wonder it sucked.

Ehh...it's worth picking up. Let's say it- even OK YES is better
than 95% of the stuff out there.
