Editorial Reviews

A stunning self-reinvention by a band that many had given up for dead, 90125 is the album that introduced a whole new generation of listeners to Yes. Begun as Cinema, a new band by Chris Squire and Alan White, the project grew to include the slick production of Trevor Horn, the new blood (and distinctly '80s guitar sound) of Trevor Rabin, and eventually the trademark vocals of returning founder Jon Anderson. His late entry insured that Rabin and Horn had a heavy influence on the sound. The album also marked the return of prodigal keyboardist Tony Kaye, whose crisp synth work on "Changes" marked the band's definitive break with its art rock roots. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was a huge crossover hit, and its orchestral break has been relentlessly sampled by rappers ever since. The vocal harmonies of "Leave It" and the beautifully sprawling "Hearts" are additional high points, but there's nary a duff track on the album. Paul Collins, All Music Guide

July 26, 2004: During their 1970's heyday, Yes was one of the most commercially successful of the prog rock bands. The peak of their efforts was the glorious Close to the Edge, which ended up at Number 3 on the charts. Later efforts, such as Tales from Topographic Oceans (the only one which I like), Relayer, and Tormato, fared worse. Finally, the band collapsed inward and after one final album, Drama, Yes disappeared. A new group formed in the 1980's, Cinema, which featured many Yes personnel. Eventually, it turned into a Yes reunion with the reentry of Jon Anderson. Because he joined late, he had little say in songwriting. The result? An unabashedly slick, commercial, synth-pop effort which is the ultimate betrayal of the original progressive Yes. It's not terrible, but outside of Owner of a Lonely Heart, it remains less memorable and less spectacular than previous efforts, even Tales From Topographic Oceans!

November 30, 2000: In a stunning turnaround, the most incomprehensibly progressive of the 70s bands turns into a slick pop hit machine. Besides the obvious catchy ditty 'Owner of a Lonely Heart', every track here sports some memorable hook and the sort of production one would expect of a mainstream pop band. There is still some of the Yes esotericism in oddly-timed instrumental breaks and the brief but hair-raising instrumental 'Cinema'. Overall, fans of the old 70s Yes will probably find this nonessential, but it is still an enjoyable record.
