Yes's latest album 'Big Generator' is
a musically bland, lyrically insipid flop
By Geoff McMurtry
Staff Reporter
Yes, "Big Generator," Atco Rec
ords
Yes was one of the premier bands
of the early to mid-’70s. While at
limes their pscudo-artsincss led pre
tentiousness to new heights, they also
were one of the most experimental,
influential and fascinating bands of
the era.
Album Review
Led by songwriter, mastermind
and distinctive vocalist Jon Anderson,
Yes was the central figure and primary
force behind a whole generation of
“Art-Rock” bands whose sensibilities
grew straightoutof ’60s psychedelics.
But the music was based more on
Shakespearean tragedy, opera and
classical music than on radical poli
tics or hallucinogenic drugs.
Ycs was also known for having the
most eclectic, innovative, virtuoso
i—
musicians on the planet. Occasionally
the band was even criticized as mak
ing music only for musicians, that it
was so complex as to be all but unlis
tcnablc. Not any more.
But even without this background
context in mind, their latest comeback
effort, “Big Generator,” ranks as one
of the bigger flops of the decade.
Musically bland and lyrically in
sipid, “Big Generator” contains
empty platitude heaped upon empty
platitude of babbling, junior-high
love poems set to the same top-40
melodies that even Phil Collins and
Lionel Ritchie are growing tired of.
Hold the light lout of love we'll
come a long long glorious way/at the
start of every day la child begins to
play/and all we need to know/is that
the future is afriendofyours and mine.
The song titles arc filled with love
as well. There is “Rhythm of Love,”
which sounds like a Motley Cruc title.
There is “Love Will Find a Way,” and
of course “Almost Like Love.” These
almost make a band.
Other great entries in the All-Time
Title Contest arc the album title’s
inspiration, “Big Generator,” and
“Shoot High, Aim Low,” which was
probably originally conceived as a
BBC jingle for the Royal Air Force.
It is one thing to grow up, change
your mind about a few things and
completely forget whatever it was you
were talking about 10 years ago, but it
is another thing entirely to pretend it
never happened.
The last song is called “Holy
Lamb.” Upon first glance, one might
think that a sense of humor might
surface from Anderson, but they mean
it. They really mean it. Even though
they all wear pretty designer nylon
pants and lovely boutique coifs, these
millionaires would like us to expect a
spiritual awakening because the plan
ets are appropriately lined up.
But wait, there’s more.
Don't be afraid of letting go/it
takes a loving heart/ to see and show/
this love/for our own ecology.
Peace, love and harmony, we’re all
hippies now. Let’s all go live on a
farm and grow our own food, then sell
homegrown natural-grain multi
platinum top-40 albums every few
years to pay for the mansion and the
sports cars.
Listen to “Tormalo,” and rudely
ignore this album.
