Title: one of their best
Review: Not as slick, safe and predictable as the worst of their 80's music nor as contrived and longwinded as the worst of their 70's. And it could use more rocking instrumental jams and fewer neohippy vocals. But this is definitely top drawer Yes with the guys sounding consistenly inspired. There are aural experiments and dreamlike soundscapes of energy and vision. And there's a bonus track consisting of about 15 minutes of chimes, nature sounds and brief vocals that create a cool ambiance.It's unfortunate that old bands can't get any airplay for their new music but at least there's no chance of any track being overplayed ad nauseum on the radio. So if you are open to new Yes music that doesn't sound exactly like their old hits, you may be equally surprised by how good Open Your Eyes sounds.
