[@4absentfriends]

This is YES 2024 ! Tight, harmonious, full of energy; all the trademarks of Anderson's YES.

[@markoliver630]

Congratulations Jon your new music is great as usual. R.I.P. Chris

[@direnova6284]

Never thought I'd see Yes come back in all their glory. This proves to me that Jon was the heart of the Yes sound, all their best songs were when he was the director.

[@SraElohe]

The power is incredible. It’s Union and Talk era YES in all but name. Anderson is unbelievable at 79!

[@bf99ls]

Richie Castellano (playing bass here) says Talk is his favourite album. So yeah. RC also plays in Blue Oyster Cult.

[@jeffschielka7845]

Hey Dean! It's a great song. Jon sounds great and the Band Geeks are incredible! FOREVER YES❣️👍😎

[@janetacquilano1912]

Shine on is Classic Yes- Prophetic ❤❤❤ We all see what we want to see. Shows me I am not alone in the Learning and Ever Constant Growing of Change- UPLIFTING - SHINE ON Is what we all need to do no matter what life hits us with. Shine On was not sung too much. My opinion. This song is Deep if you have ever Contacted Your Inner World. Eternally SHINE ON 💝💝💝

[@williamsporing1500]

Love it!

[@greatexpectations2307]

I think it's amazing. I just hope there's more gems like this on the album.

[@johnwolf3294]

Me too

[@markoliver630]

Turns out there is ! Enjoy 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

[@MichaelKuhl1965]

Like somebody else mentioned, this tune could have easily been on Union or Open Your Eyes. Dig it very much.

[@greatexpectations2307]

A hint at how great the original and subsequent editions of Yes were.

[@bethbierman7902]

Compared to the latest from Official Yes, this album has far better writing, performance, mixing, and energy. Most of who is in Yes is younger performers now too but this band meshes with Jon perfectly and he has not lost a note of his magnificent voice.

[@evertclaesson3577]

Wow. This is Jon's sweet revenge for getting jackbooted out of Yes! He's been completely vindicated and this band mops the floor with the current incarnation of Yes! BOOM!

[@williamsporing1500]

Yes sounds like a tribute band now. This is great!!

[@johnyarusso4953]

Definitely sounds like a return to the Trevor Rabin era. I guess they want a hit single.

[@4absentfriends]

This collaboration is very organic and a nod to the YES machine. A 'hit' is probably the last thing these musicians were after.

[@MellyoftheSpring]

The Band Geeks are younger guys who were strongly influenced by the TRabin sound. See interviews with the bassist for deeper dive.

[@williamsporing1500]

I think Richie plays guitar for blue oyster cult too

[@MellyoftheSpring]

@@williamsporing1500 True!

[@markkonzen2924]

Lots of 90125 vibes…Jon’s vocals continue to amaze. Chorus is better than the verses, but overall great work.

[@daveschlom4033]

It's not Band of Geeks. Just Band Geeks.

[@deanwolfechannel]

weird that I got that wrong, thanks! Made the changes...

[@jimbo029]

Band Geeks not Band of Geeks..funny how many people say that?
