i used to rate everything on my old account. i suppose i could just start a notepad document or something with the stuff i need to download but the ratings are a pretty easy way to do it. plus i don't want to have to go back and re-rate all the classics!

haha, I thought the band sounded a lot like the Byrds on I See You. I never realized it was a cover... This is album is great.

Yeah, it's a nice album indeed, especially for a debut. And it seems you belong to those who prefer this one to "Time And A Word". Nice. It seems I was right. The opinions are really divided between who is the best.

I'm re-listening to them both now e21. I think you might be right. I do prefer this one... My biggest problem with the first two Yesalbums is I bought Yesterdays first ( thinking it was a real yes album) and I liked it very much. Now I know it is a compilation, mostly from these two albums, but it is still hard for me not to like it best.

I think there are more hooks in Time and a Word. It contains some instant wins compared to this one. Plus I'm not familiar with the covers found here, and I find the songs less memorable on here, even if I try. I could easily see the famous ''Survival'' into Time and a Word.

Time And A Word is a better prog album. They do some very interesting things on that one that must have been unusual at the time, like the strings. I can see why both have fans for different reasons.

@ Twig

Yeah, as I wrote before, the opinion about the two first albums of Yes is completely divided. Even if you take a look to Progarchives, you can see they are very close with a very little advantage of "Time And A Word". You and Jethro, besides me, we three are right in one thing. "Time And A Word" is a better prog album than their debut. In relation to me, I'm not a great fan of the music of the 60's, in general. Of course I know, that the seeds of what would be considered, in the future, the prog rock music were sown in those times, for example, by The Beatles. Still, I'm not a great fan of those music times. So, this is maybe my main problem with Yes' debut. It sounds to me too much to the 60's. But I can understand the problems of many people with "Time And A Word". Many dislike the inclusion of an orchestra on the album leaving to a very secondary plan the guitar and the keys workings. Anyway, they have the same opinion of Banks and Kaye. So, this isn't a very strange thing, indeed.

I like the 60s sound . . . Did you see that Jimmy Hendrix just put out a new album last week? The 60s will never be over, lol.

Yeah, I know that. Of course I like many things made in the 60's. For instance, I like albums of The Beatles, Hendrix, Zappa, Santana, The Moody Blues, Colosseum, Procol Harum, The Doors, Traffic, The Nice and Tim Buckley, only to mention a few. But it's different. In general the music is less elaborated and sofisticated than the music made in the 70's. You know what I mean.
