Yes' second album is the last to feature original guitarist Peter Banks, and also the last to adhere to the debut's tendency toward elaborate covers of material by other '60s artists. The swirling, transmogrified version of Richie Havens' "No Oppoortunity Necessary" finds the band departing further from their source material than ever. A sweet, understated cover of Buffalo Springfield's "Everydays" provides some valuable contrast to the predominantly broad, sweeping arrangements. Tony Kaye's big, reedy Hammond sound is augmented by the string arrangements of Tony Cox, which push the band further toward the inevitable rock-classical fusion.

On "Then" and "The Prophet," Jon Anderson takes early, tentative steps toward the spiritual/mystical/ecological mindset from which he would draw often for Yes' lyrics. The buoyant "Sweet Dreams" and the unabashed power ballad of the title track represent the remnants of the band's grounding in '60s pop.

2003 remastered reissue of 1970 album includes four bonus tracks, 'Dear Father', 'No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed' (Original Mix), 'Sweet Dreams' (Original Mix), & 'The Prophet' (Single Version). Elektra/Rhino.

5 stars In A Word, Timeless
This is not roundabout! This is orchestrated rock that works! The jazzy overtones create a very soothing atmosphere one moment and then your blasting thru space with that signature Chris Squire bass sound the next. An excellent journey from start to finish!

3 stars An interesting beginning for a great band
Yes (the album), the first effort by the prog rock band, offers hints of the grand harmonies and arrangements which would soon follow their more popular works (Fragile, Close to the Edge). The guitar and bass work are edgy, almost grunge-like on songs like "Beyond and Before" and "Every Little Thing", while more dated tunes such as "Survival" and "Sweetness" remind you that this is essentially a late sixties album with touches of brilliance, especially on "I See You". Bruford's jazz drumming takes a front seat on most of the tunes, and Tony Kaye's Hammond organ licks are well-placed. It's too bad it wasn't produced as well as it could have been, but for a first album it's not all bad. The bonus tracks on the remastered edition don't offer much, although "Something's Coming" is somewhat entertaining.

4 stars YES! YES! YES!
This was the album that made me a full on Yes addict! I would put on my headphones, and be transported to another musical world! Sweet Dreams and Astral Traveller took me where I wanted to go!! The remastered C.D takes it up another few notches again! One thing though. Please, oh please get rid of the cover, and get Roger Dean to work his magic again! The existing cover looks like it houses a Yoko Ono record! Come on, get serious about getting some decent artwork for this exceptional music and musicians!

4 stars Rethink the whole Yes sound.
If you're new to Yes, you're in for something very different here. This 2nd album is early symphonic/progressive rock at its raw finest, heavy on organ and orchestra. Peter Banks' guitar is integral to this unique pre-classic Yes sound too, but his Time was up and he got the Word before the album was even released. Steve Howe didn't play on T&aW but you'll sometimes see him on the cover. This Yes music borders on a different genre, but it's amazing stuff. Buy this one and you'll rethink the whole Yes sound.

Though their name quickly became synonymous with '70s prog rock, Yes' 1969 debut is a far cry from the epic vistas they would later explore. Like many '60s bands, they covered the Byrds (the metaphysical "I See You") and the Beatles ("Every Little Thing"). Inspired by the likes of Vanilla Fudge and Rotary Connection, they turned these songs inside out, radically changing the tempos and creating their own elaborate arrangements. The end results often bore little similarity to the songs' original versions. Guitarist Peter Banks (who eventually formed the very ...

With THE YES ALBUM, Yes began an important new chapter in its career and defined much of what the next decade would bring. They had left behind not only their original guitarist, Peter Banks, but also the covers of 1960s tunes by the likes of the Byrds and the Beatles. The arrival of the more hard-edged Steve Howe signaled the group's ascent into full-blown progressive-rock mode, a style whose parameters Yes helped craft with ...
