Magnification is YES last album, and after some very rough recordings, its a pretty good way to seal a solid, legendary, if a little uneven, career After such a mediocre album as The Ladder, Magnification (Keystudio doesnt count) is a fantastic achievement that easily towers over anything the band had done since 1980s Drama. 21 years had to pass...

YES - Magnification (2001) [rated 5/5 by kiwi]

2008-01-25 18:07:19 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Magnification for me is the evidence of the return of the creative spark In one dimension, its lyrics, Magnification is superior to albums of the Classic era. While the lyrics are unmistakably Yes, there is a refreshing simplicity and coherence to many of them If we were flowers we would worship the sun, so why not now?. Is this evidence of...

Magnification is so far the only Yes album which I have picked up from beyond the great wall that is Going for the One. I am for the most part favourable to it, heck the title track is truly Yes on form. The problem begins there after. Good chunks of the album feel unfortunately forced same-y. If I am to use the Yes Album through to Going for...

...magnification. This album shows that Yes will never spend. They can make something bad,but they are always capable of returning back to form. The album is opposite in mood direction to the previous album - The Ladder.In The Ladder it is positive and joyful,while in Magnification it's nostalgic and melancholic,probably because of the...

...Magnification. It is a song that catches to you from the first moment at which it begins to sound. The mixture of elements is almost perfect, and the song begins with very pleasant arpeggios of guitar that soon open passage to all the mixture of instruments. Score: A The song that follows is Spirit of survival, that goes united with...

...Magnification here on the site and decided to revisit Jon & the gang to see how their music sounds in the 21st century. I am very pleased to say that they are still vital, alive and well How ironic it is that the outset of the album is nostalgically reminiscent of their last collaboration with a real orchestra, 1970s Time and a Word. But,...

...Magnification' doesn't sound like classic YES. The YES of 1970-1972, at their peak, had a distinctive sound generated by their rhythm section, with SQUIRE playing bass as a lead instrument and BRUFORD drumming his peerless jazzy rhythms. We don't get BRUFORD here, and SQUIRE just plays as a bassist - albeit a very good one - and not as a...

YES - Magnification (2001) [rated 5/5 by FrierJohn]

...Magnification - the title track,which contains the whole idea of the album Spirit of survival is maybe too suggestive song with it's steady rhytm,but I like the way it blends with the title song Don't go maybe sounds like a pop track,but I like it.It contains some strange vocal harmonies in the chorus,which are sung by every member of the...

YES - Magnification (2001) [rated 3/5 by King By-Tor]

2008-01-25 21:03:30 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...MAGNIFICATION is a wonderful track with some great vocal melodies by Anderson accompanied by some soothing guitar by Howe until we reach the chorus at which point the song really picks up and carries to the end. Good track, this one seems to pass faster than the seven minutes that it is. The second track, SPIRIT OF SURVIVAL is, actually, even...
