Okay, just listened to the clips multiple times, and by George, Benoit sounds UNIQUE! He is NOT channeling Jon, which is MASSIVELY important to me. I've gone on record numerous times as hating cloner-singers. On all the live stuff, Benoit is Jon-light, but he doesn't on this studio material. I'm LOVING how he sounds, I don't know, like "himself" - if that makes sense. In fact, he sounds more like Trevor Horn than Jon - either that, or Trevor does way more singing that the credits would indicate.

Aside from the cheesy love song by Chris, I'm liking what I heard - A LOT.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

I listened to samples from Amazon and they sounded good, not enough to really get a feel for it but, it sounds interesting.

Download the clips from here; they're 90 seconds each. Better feel for the tunes.

1000% better quality than the CrApple website!

However, still quite lackluster.

Apparently there are some youtube clips up. I'm too lazy to search, as I'm away on business.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

I like what I hear on that. A very Drama-ish feel. Like Benoit's singing on it. Could be good.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

the MagicMan does it again...

WE CAN FLY is a strong single, More Rock, less space. David is wonderful, he does not disappoint with critiical control of his voice. He sounds more like Trevor then Jon but with Jons Harmonies .......... Having Downes means no Keyboard pyrotecnics but Ill Take it and like it, sort of............... Cant wait for more

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

If you squint your eyes and pretend that John Wetton is doing the vocals in place of David...this would sound more like an Asia song than a Yes song..... still not bad, I like it but, I thought I was listening to a vinyl copy for a minute....because it was so poppy..ha ha.. hopefully the rest of the album will be more Yes-like than Asia-like...

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

Hey, I liked it. I like the song. Sounds like Trevor Horn, not Jon. Can't wait. My pre-order has been in for a week (also bought five Phil Keaggy cds).

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

Singing a song about an Airport?

Makes 'Rhythm of Love' seem like deep lyrical content.

Just teasing.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

Since it has been 30+ years since Yes released a great album(IMO), I'm skeptical about this one too. But I must admit that the snippets sounded pretty good.

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

there is a Deluxe edition of the new album that includes a DVD. Lukilly if you pre-orderd through Amazon you may cancel and re-order if you are so inclined.

Wonder if live Tempus Fugit is on it?

AS far as I know, the DVD is only "The making of..."

Amazon says live stuff on there. I know what I read.

I clipped this from an interview of Squire(Billboard Mag) Only a 90 minute set according to it. I thought they'd do this. Hate it when I'm right.

Before any of that, however, Yes hits the road July 4 in Camden, N.J., for a U.S. tour with Styx. A European jaunt, meanwhile, begins Nov. 8., by which time Squire hopes the group will be able to dip more deeply into "Fly From Here."

"The (Styx) tour is not going to be an ideal forum to present the whole or even a lot of the new album," says Squire, who hopes to have the album with Hackett out this year as well. "It's more of a summer shed, rock 'n' roll-y tour and we'll have to obviously play Yes songs people are familiar with and squeeze it all into 90 minutes. Later on we'll hopefully go into a format where we have a longer playing time, so we'll be presenting more of the new album."

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

I hope that you are right. From Henry's website (He's not usually wrong):

DVD content: making-of documentary (25 minutes); "We Can Fly" video. (Several retailers are now describing the second DVD component as being "live footage", but I believe it is still a video of "We Can Fly", perhaps performed live-in-the-studio.)

Re: New Yes Album Artwork and Tracklist

Concerning the DVD, here is a post that I copied from Progressiveears:

Well, it only countains a "making of" which is not very very interesting. It's very similar to the EPK that can be seen on youtube. You can see the guys rehearsing (Steve especially), but you hear the music from the CD. One funny thing : Steve is rehearsing an overdub while Trevor and Chris are listening in confortable armchairs, and you see Chris'redwine glass on a table!
The interviews are too often cut - one sentence by Horn, one by Squire... The editing of this making-of is irritating.

There is no "We Can Fly" video on this DVD!


Don't ask me what "EPK" means
