Review

Whoa, dude! Let's dive into the cosmic swirl that is Yes's self-titled debut album from 1969. This psychedelic journey kicks off with a mix of original tunes and mind-bending covers that'll send your ears on a wild ride. The band's take on The Beatles' 'Every Little Thing' and The Byrds' 'I See You' is like looking at familiar landscapes through a kaleidoscope - totally transformed and trippy!

Jon Anderson's ethereal vocals float over Peter Banks' guitar wizardry, while Chris Squire's bass grooves keep you grounded. Tony Kaye's organ and piano add splashes of color to the sonic canvas, and Bill Bruford's drumming and vibraphone work weave intricate patterns throughout. It's a musical tapestry that hints at the prog-rock odysseys to come, man.

Now, I gotta level with you - the production's a bit of a bummer. Banks wasn't stoked about how the drums and guitars turned out, but don't let that harsh your mellow. 'Yes' still packs a punch with its blend of psychedelic rock, folk, and pop vibes. The single 'Sweetness' might not capture their full essence, but it's just one piece of this kaleidoscopic puzzle. This album is the first step on Yes's journey to becoming rock legends, and it's a trip worth taking! - Nico
