In ten or twenty years from now, we'll be saying that 20 years ago, music was better. I think what you're forgetting is that the bad music never survives once time has moved on, whereas the good songs stand up and are always remembered through the generations. Put it this way, Bo Rhap has X amount of million hits on Youtube. Friday from Rebecca Black has about 10 times that, but does that mean 20 years down the line people will have forgotten bo rhap, and Friday will still be there?

I've been pretty curious about this one. I really, really admire Jon Anderson's voice and, I have to admit, haven't even bothered checking to see how the new(ish) guy holds up. Guess I'll check it out!

About half the record is sung by Trevor Horn anyway, which makes it that much closer to Drama. He's credited only as a backing vocalist ... but it's totally him.
When people come to see that Yes as an entity is bigger than any single member of the band, only then do they enjoy the rich catalog of music they have. There are great records without Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, or Jon Anderson. The Yes Album, Drama, Talk, and The Ladder ... all great records. And now we can add Fly From Here to that list. It might be their best record since 90125. Hope you like it.
