Title: Homeworld is great, but the rest...
Review: is just a bit too popish for my tastes. Mr. Howe has lost something on this album: presence. New Language has some nice moments and Nine Voices goes over well but the rest can go. After sitting with this album for some time now I find that after being a Yes fan for some 22 years now the band just doesn't do it for me the way they used to. The lyrics for the most part are on the silly side. Jon Anderson used to be accused of writing lyrics that were too cryptic but I will take the lyrics of Close to the Edge and Siberian Khatru any day over If Only You Knew and its like. Even Anderson's voice is a bit grating in spots and I never thought that would happen. Still, they are giving it their best shot and that has to be worth at least two stars.
Is the review positive or negative?
