This extensive box includes not only a fine mixture of classics and less familiar songs, but plenty of previously unheard material as well. Along the way, YESYEARS manages to encapsulate the band's career. Yes was one of the first progressive rock bands, achieving a perfect blend of hard-hitting rock excitement and sophisticated, classical-derived structure. Yes began by adapting other people's songs to the band's expansive, post-psychedelic style ("Every Little Thing", "Everydays"), but as the band grew more confident, it constructed ever more complex opuses full of virtuosic instrumental displays and complex shifts of metre and mood ("Starship Trooper", "Yours is no Disgrace").
The arrival of keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman meant the incorporation of elaborate synthesizer tapestries and a more extensive guitar/keyboard interplay ("Roundabout", "Close to the Edge"). By the time he was replaced by former Mainhorse/Refugee member Patrick Moraz, Yes's sound had reached its most sophisticated, abstract extremes, and the band truly earned its "art rock" tag ("Sound Chaser"). More personnel changes would ensue, and by the early '80s, Yes returned with a more stripped-down, rhythm-basedsound ("Owner of a Lonely Heart"). YESYEARS covers all of this and more, with enough surprises to keep even hardcore fans on their toes.
