Comments for Yes, Keys To Ascension Volume 2

again, ignoring the live songs (i''m not really into live albums), the new songs are yes''s best since "tormato" and "going for the one". a few flaws: the end of "mind drive" is one big question mark, and "sign language" is a bit pointless. but the return of chris and steve as the backup singers is priceless. "mind drive", while a bit slow in parts, is on par with the better parts of "awaken". another highlight is "bring me to the power".

Yes is up to form as usual on their live performance. My feelings are mixed, however, regarding disc 2 in which they attempt to revive their style of playing from the early 70`s to all-new tracks.
