Truth be told, most of the best of Yes could be had by purchasing three albums; "The Yes Album," "Fragile" and "90125." Most of the rest of the Yes catalog contains a long of overlong bloated art rock and precious little in the way of rock energy. Nevertheless, they did manage to come up with an interesting song now and again, and this album gets most of them down. Half of the tracks are from the above three above-mentioned albums (hey, they can take a hint). The best of these are "Starship Trouper," "I've Seen all Good People" and of course, "Owner of a Lonely Heart," their biggest selling single. Of the other stuff, "Survival" and "Time and a Word" are good early tracks, while the edit of "Soon" (cutting an excruciating twenty-five minute snooze into a decent four minutes) "Wonderous Stories" and the relatively rocking "Going for the One" are excellent choices. The album ends with the single "Rhythm of Love" which was the highlight of 1986's dull "Big Generator" album. Overall, this is one of the best single disc "Best of" albums I've run across. Of course, rabid fans will want their box set, but this is plenty for most casual fans. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
