Album Review

The four-years-in-the-making follow-up to Yes' comeback album, 90125, Big Generator was also a million-selling hit, although not as successful as its predecessor, probably because the singles "Love Will Find a Way" (number 30) and "Rhythm of Love" (number 40) couldn't match "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from the previous LP, even if they were favorites on AOR radio at the time. Actually, it was the title track that was a carbon copy of "Owner," so maybe that was the problem. More likely, though, "Owner" was a one-shot (courtesy of producer Trevor Horn), and as Yes asserted itself more here, the band reverted more to its old style, making for some confusion. Nevertheless, this album was Yes' last major hit.

Great album

Josh

Awesome album shoot high aim low is one of their best songs and easily the best song on this album.

Not Classic Yes, but still a classic...

I've been a Yes fan since the seventies, but I have to admit I really like the "90125" and this album, "Big Generator". Although Steve Howe is certainly a guitar god in my eyes, it's hard to deny the incredible songwriting talent and guitar wizardry of Trevor Rabin. His guitar parts on this album are pretty stunning and it definitely stands up 20+ years on. I agree with other reviewers, "Shoot High, Aim Low" is the standout tune on this album, but the singles "Rhythm of Love" and "Love Will Find a Way" are great pop songs that are always on my iPod ;)

Far and away the longest lasting and the most successful of the '70s progressive rock groups, Yes proved to be one of the lingering success stories from that musical genre. The band, founded in 1968, overcame a generational shift in its audience and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band. Where rivals such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer withered away commercially after the mid-'70s, and Genesis...
