My goodness, this is like a lost Yes album! If there was any doubt that Jon Anderson is the heart and soul of Yes, let that be dispelled now.

[MrBlond]

Wow 🤩 this is so great! Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks have made the best Yes music album in ages! This is a gift 🎁 Thanks for the great reaction Jim!

[appendages]

I was 71 but while listening to Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks I was once again 20 years old.😊
Amazing music.
It's so alive with the beautiful colors of creativity and grandeur.

[gerardcooney]

I was lucky enough to see Jon with the Band Geeks. They are Fantastic. Felt like I was a Kid again. They are all Fantastic musicians and Jon Anderson still has it. God Bless Him. Such a Humble and Wonderful Human Being. Peace to All.

I played this entire album a few days ago and I actually can't believe how good it is! This is better than anything Yes has released in the last 20 years and I've been a fan since 1971

[duanesmith]

This the new YES album we have been looking for

[johnwolf]

This song is true brilliance. What an artistic masterpiece. When I'm listening, it takes me to such positive, uplifting places. I don't want the song to end. May God bless this man for bringing us such positive uplifting music l.

Like a lot of people I suppose, I discovered The Band Geeks during the lockdown, and it was obvious from watching them that they had a real love for Yes's music and that they were fantastic musicians. I would never have dreamt that this collaboration would come about, and that it would be so good

[slauer]

This record is soooo much better than all the Steve Howe Yes albums of the last decade. I agree with you, that this album has what I've been wanting, the energy and inspiration and I do believe Jon's voice truly is Yes!

[JeffReams]

Besides the cover, this album is more ‘Yes’ than Steve Howe’s cover band. It was fun watching your reaction because I had a perpetual smile on my face for the first three songs.

Good to see you back, Jim. The more I hear of this album, the more I catch the nods to The Yes Album, Topographic Oceans, Fragile and the Rabin years. But mostly I just love playing this on the way to and from work. I have other stuff by great bands to listen to, but this knocks them all into a cocked hat. It does not dip, Jim.

[Jose]

I’m very excited about this album and enjoying the music a lot. A masterpiece IMHO. Thank you for your excellent review.

[Jeffrey.Seelman]

This is great music. No, better than great. Superb.

[andrewwallace]

Fresh new sound bravo !! Jon is superb !! the musicians fit together like a glove.
Yes albums The Ladder, Magnification, Fly from here, all bring something to the Yes pantheon Jim 🙏

[edbrandt]

Richie Castellano on bass. He has also been touring with Blue Oyster Cult for close to 20 years. He pretty much founded Band Geeks.

[dio]

Jon's talking voice is just like his singing voice, I believe that's why he sounds so good, most singers don't talk like they sing.

[jeffschielka]

Hey Jim! Awesome album!! TRUE has everything. The Band Geeks are incredible and Jon sounds fantastic for pushing 80 next month!!!! 10/10 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎

[Zack]

As always, great review Jim. We saw Jon and The Band Geeks 7/27/2024 in Peachtree City, Georgia. Need I remind you that it's blistering hot in Georgia in July. We arrived a little early, so we heard some of the rehearsals. They played for close to 2 hours 45 minutes with a 15 minute break. It was an incredible performance....incredible. I have been listening to YES since the early 1970's, with my first concert 1979. Looking forward to much more music to come as well as your review of the rest of the recording. I've listened to it several times and believe it's great music. Keep you the great work!

[mrcjanssen]

This album sounds like what the follow up to the Ladder should have been.

[markdrechsler]

I’ve been playing this album for a week now. Jon is in fine form, and the Band Geeks are top notch. This sounds more like Yes than anything Yes has put out in the last two decades.
