We could say the return of YES !, but ... Fist of all Chris Squire is absolutely unreplaceable as Yes bassist, with all the respect for Tony Levin. This unhappy absence affects much the character of the songs. Second, "Teakbois" is simply horrendous. The rest has more the same format of their old songs than the same substance, but is passable. G.L.

One of the best Yes-albums ever made (even though under another name). A must for all lovers of symfonic rock. Unfortunately for them Chris Squire kept the rights for the group's name.

ABWH is user-friendly Yes for those who wished to get away from the "Rabin Rock" of the 80's and early nineties. "Teakbois" is the weakest part of all the tracks, but the rest of the album is a nice (if a bit too mellow) return to the progressive rock sound of the 70's.

arguably the best "Yes" album since Tormato, ABWH is actually a very uneven album. "The Meeting" and "Let''s Pretend" are the pretty songs, while "Brother of Mine" marks a return to the 70s Yes. But the silly "Teakbois" and the messy "Order of the Universe" bring the album down a bit. Still, the album is a welcome return to form.
