Negative Positive
Title: They should've taken the advice of the album title...
Review: ...and realized that this album is basically a mess. Written and recorded primarily by Chris Squire and Billy Sherwood, Open Your Eyes shows a confused group haphazardly making an album in order to go on tour and hoping that the music finds an audience. I rarely criticize Yes albums too harshly but nearly three years since I first heard it, it's a challenge to listen to the whole thing all the way through. There are a few good songs ("Open Your Eyes", "Universal Garden") and some good musical passages (bass line to "Fortune Seller") but there are more than a few out-and-out duds on this album. My two star review is being generous. An album for completists only or fans of 80's AOR.
Is the review positive or negative?
