Title: Only for Die-Hard Fans
Review: I tend to agree that this is one of the worst Yes CDs...OPEN YOUR EYES contains a couple of good songs. The title song is excellent - it's got a good, driving sound. Also, "Universal Garden" is pretty good. Some of the songs are harmless enough - "No Way We Can Loose" and "Wonderlove." But some songs just drone on (like "Fortune Seller" and "Love Shine"). Also, OPEN YOUR EYES contains one of the worst Yes songs ever - "Man on the Moon." "I am the man in the moon and I hope to shine upon you very soon / Waiting in the night to bathe you all in moonlight / I am the man . . . in the man." Yikes. Much of the writing is almost as trite.This CD isn't horrible. There just aren't any memorable songs. A couple years later, Yes made amends with THE LADDER. THE LADDER was hardly a return to "classic-Yes" as some claimed, but it was a more substantial effort.
Is the review positive or negative?
