Negative Positive
Title: Overproduced and uninspired
Review: Although I must admit I haven't kept up with their most recent efforts, I did buy this one as an accident. And it was a mistake. The thing that I loved about early yes material was it's ability to build prog-rock on minimal chord structure flavored with french organ influences and a relatively impassioned feel. This, however, shows the continued downward spiral of a group that's forgotten it's roots and relies on massive over-the-top production rather than the dry, simple beauty of their early works. If you want a taste of old school yes as they should be, go out and buy "Dots and Loops" by Stereolab instead.
