Title: Yes goes "Bang" turns out to be Last Good Album
Review: Three tracks, 37 Minuites, if you've heard close to the edge, the layout is similar, except tracks two and three are switched (on relayer, the third track, Sound Chaser, is the most frantic song). This album lacks the coherence of the several albums before, but it makes up for this with sheer energy. Drummer Alan White blossoms on Relayer, providing fireworks throughout the album. This album is rife with the extended virtuoso composition that you can expect from the band of this era, with Howe, Squire, and keyboardist Moraz trading off runs that when put together, confuse and tantalize the ear. "To Be Over" has always seemed kind of out of place to me, as if Yes runs out of steam towards the end of the album, but if this song is unremarkable it is perhaps only in contrast to the first two songs. This is, in my opinion, Yes's last great album.
Is the review positive or negative?
