GRAHAM Brooks

Was a huge Yes fan since the 70s. Listened to this with trepidation after the previous 2 middling efforts and was not impressed. The songs all seem like meandering noodling in search for a melodic hook. There is no "there" there. No "wow" moments when a central theme returns via tempo or key-changed coda. Everything seems structureless. And don't get me started on the vapid lyrical content...you CAN tell that Sherwood and Squire worked together as Billy has some finer moments on bass.
