Something had to change and in came Trevor Rabin, who made Yes relevant again.

Not one of their all-time best, but still a really good record. Trevor Rabin is a tremendous guitarist, and never got the respect he deserved from the Steve Howe worshipers. Every song on here is really good, except for perhaps "Our Song" and "Cinema", depending on how you feel about short instrumentals.

Disagree! Big Generator is amazing. So what, YES made a great catchy songs, it's not Close to the edge/Ritual/Delirium epics, but still great music. Listen to Final Eyes from Big Generator. Total awesomeness.

To each his own. I don't care for Big Generator but plenty of people don't like albums that I like -- it's all about what music brings people enjoyment. I'll give it another spin soon with your recommendation in mind. One thing I've noticed is that my opinions on music are constantly evolving and albums that I didn't like 5 years ago I'll pull out and play today and end up loving. Happy listening!

A good album despite what a lot of hardcore Yes fans would have you believe. Is it as brilliant as Fragile or Close to the Edge? No, not even close, but the songs are catchy as hell and they're also much smarter than the people who call this a "sellout" album can bring themselves to admit. If you want to listen to a BAD Yes album, put Big Generator on. This one is damn good.

Even it being really pop, and with a "bad formation" I enjoy this album a lot. :)

As usual with classic prog bands, the biggest piece of shit they produced has to be one of their most popular albums on last.fm.

Listen to it objetively, it isn't a bad album. Is a bad album for yes, but for music, its ok. [3]

To be fair this was never intended to be a Yes album. It's just that it was decided it would sell better with the Yes name.

"Progressive" just meant that it transcended genres so no one knew wtf to call it. People might want to retrospectively put some kind of noble purpose or something to it, but all it was was a bunch of usually middle class kids throwing ideas around and just making art. As long as there are people who get kicks out of just making music and to hell with classification "prog" will never die.

Yeah, becuz adapting's for pussyfaces an' REAL progressive music is about being conservative and doing essentially the same thing.

I call bullshit on all these posts. Most of you are just whining that it's not Fragile or Close to the Edge. Do you even understand the idea of PROGRESSIVE music? It's not to retain a sound and write the same albums over again, it's all about adaptation. Yes have done so remarkably well over the years because they've been able to incorporate so many changing ideas and styles into their music and still be called Yes. 90125 isn't a bad album (and of course people have their right to separate opinions) but you can't nix it simply because they didn't decide to live in the late 60's and early 70's forever. They challenged their interpretation of their music and likewise challenged their listeners to expanded their minds and still top pop charts. If you can't see that, then you don't understand Yes.
